Chris Whitley, Dead at 45
I just visited the blog of an old acquaintance and found that Chris Whitley had died.
Chris was a blues musician who earned a degree of fame with his 1991 release Living With the Law on Columbia Records. His best work in my opinion was 1998's Dirt Floor, which made my top albums list that year.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris several times during my tenure as a music scribe. He always seemed very humble, very eager to please, and very smart, though obviously chased by his own demons.
Rest in peace, Chris.
