A heavy postcard tribute to Chris Whitley, born this week 64 years ago and left this earth in 2005. Much too young and much too soon...I never did idolize any singer or artist, but Chris was one of a kind... He deserved a hundred more years to share all the beauty and power his music had...And deserved much more success too. But it's never too late...

As i believe his songs can't be "covered", this is a humble and electric hommage (this song was on his first album, produced by Daniel Lanois). I just tried to howl as loud as i can, hoping maybe he'll hear me...

My deepest thanks to Wally Landreth who helped me on this one : his son Joey, who since 2006 (when we recorded this) became famous worldwide with the "Bros Landreth" band, played some fantastic licks on his Telecaster and took the lead guitar all the way through...
Me : Barking at the moon, playing acoustic and electric guitars, bass and a 2-stringed banjoline (sounds like a mix between a piano and a casserole).
