I received this sad message today:
We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of singer-songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist Chris Whitley. Chris was a kind man and immensely talented artist whose music has become an intimate part of many of our lives. We are pained to acknowledge this loss and we grieve along with those who knew and loved him and his music. -- Brandon Kessler, Messenger Records
Chris Whitley (1960-2005)
Singer/songwriter and guitarist Chris Whitley passed away of lung cancer on Sunday, Nov. 20, in Houston, Texas, at age 45.
------------------------------------------------------------------
He was an amazing and unique musician and a really cool guy. I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting him once and seeing him play live a handful of times. You can go to his web site for more info on his life and his music.
