CD Reviews

Why we miss Whitley so

J. McNeer | Richmond, VA | 07/09/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Chris Whitley was stolen from us by cancer far too early. He was an incredible guitarist, vocalist and songwriter willing to walk away from riches and a carefully crafted record company image to maintain the integrity of his music. Whitley was fearless when it came to following his musical instinct and that's reflected in his 10+ studio albums.

This album contains what in my opinion was Whitley at his best, just his voice, his National Accoustic and a miked foot stomp pedal. The 18 tracks are some of his best original work, stripped to the bone, with several cover songs intermingled. It's hard to single out any of the songs, they are all superb.

There is a bittersweet quality to this album, it is so good it reminds long time fans like myself of what we have been missing since Whitley's untimely death. It doesn't matter whether you are a long time fan or not, you will love this album and I suspect begin looking for other Chris Whitley records.

So Sad To See You're Gone

Markus Pacal | Austin, TX | 06/07/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

""On Air" is a live recording put out on T&M Records, featuring a '03 show by Whitley in Germany. It's not bad. It's definitely good. But not great. And it lacks some of his fire-power that was usually on display at his live gigs. It's a bit more restrained but still quite beautiful. It's got eighteen tracks. Mostly C.W. originals. And a few covers tossed in that Whitley always seems able to make his own. C.W. fans will gotta have it. And, on a side note, T&M Records did a great job with the beautiful & minimalist graphics, artwork & coloring of the package. Not to mention the heartfelt liner notes. Cheers to them!"

Fantastic CD

"Chris Whitley On Air is a fantastic CD. He's in fine voice and his touch is so elegant and forceful. I return time and time again for a shot of primal beauty. Sure do miss you Chris."
