Just found out that Chris Whitley died almost two weeks ago. I hadn't heard a thing about it but stumbled across it reading tonight. He was only 45 years old. Anybody else really like his guitar playing? I almost went to see him recently when he was in San Francisco but couldn't make it; figured, oh well, catch him next time. Nuts. What a loss of a really great guitar player.
That is a bummer! I didn't know either, til I read your post. I saw him play in Brisbane 3 or 4 years ago, playing a weird little venue in Fortitude Valley. Great energy he had, too. A great slider. He wasn't old ... what a loss.
