Title: Chris Whitley, anyone heard him?

Was over at LGF this morning and discovered a great blues talent.

Anyone heard of him?  Here's a listen to one of his songs (for a limited time)

He did some good stuff.  He didnt limit himself to solo gigs either, he played as a "guest" for just about anyone who asked.  Very talented.

I really like the song posted on LGF, so much that I saved it.  I might just order his CD, it all sounds pretty good.

He opened for Jimmie Vaughan a few years ago when I saw him.  One man show, just he and his dobro.  Amazing musician.  Too bad he's gone now.
