Music made back when the Cold War was just finished and the window was open for a minute, letting fresh air in. Then the whole place went corporate.
Chris kinda got lost in that and more's the pity. I found his stuff in early '92 with the first album and had high hopes the music world would follow his lead. Alas.
Thanks for sharing this clip of the late, great Chris Whitley. The sound/picture synch is WAY off, though, can you fix that? Then the obvious question: do you have the rest?
I was there that night and it was awesome. Even though there were only like 50 people in the audience Chis played like his life depended on it.
After the show I stayed and talked with Chris and Susan until we were all kicked out by theater staff.
Couple of days ago I saw Trixie performing on Belgian TV, I just wish Chris could've been here to see it. He'd be so proud.

Amen, El135o, amen. The world wasn't ready for him. I wonder if it ever will be.
