Altitude – What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been
Any Chris Whitley fan worth his/her CW music collection knows that "Altitude" first appeared on Dirt Floor. I can recall listening to that CD for the first time, rating "Altitude" as one of the best tracks, and thinking "OMG, I'd love to hear this one with a full band!" Many years later, I got my … Continue reading Altitude – What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been
The Evolution of Dead Boyfriend/Cowboy
When I first listened to "Dead Cowboy Song" [DCS] on Chris's 2004 album War Crime Blues, I assumed that he had written it in response to the Al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The lyric about "the towers lick the wrecking ball" surely suggested that. But, in an interview, … Continue reading The Evolution of Dead Boyfriend/Cowboy

WWOZ Radio 90.7 FM New Orleans 1991
I have loved not only Chris's performances ("Home Is Where You Get Across" and "Long Way Around") but also the interplay between 'Christopher' and 'Barbara' the DJ since Danny Kadar first shared these tracks on his SoundCloud channel a decade ago: the vigorous, in-his-early-prime set by Chris and the smokin', tantalizing, come-hither voice of the … Continue reading WWOZ Radio 90.7 FM New Orleans 1991
About that gospel song at the end of “Dust Radio” ….
The All Things Chris Whitley group on Facebook solved a puzzle that's been bothering many of us for years: "What's that song heard in the clip from a radio broadcast that ends 'Dust Radio'?" You know the bit I mean, right? Jamie Oh gets credit for asking the question, but John Treat gets credit … Continue reading About that gospel song at the end of “Dust Radio” ….
