One of 2 CDs that had previously only been available at live
shows...
"Riveting and original, Whitley mines roots music not as an
imitator but as a visionary who trades on archetypal symbols
and classic riffs to fashion his own mythology. There have
been noble precedents for Whitley's efforts. And yet there
hasn't been music as wise as Whitley's in quite some time."
Rolling Stone
Whitley was born a Texan and restless, moving on to New
York, Mexico, Vermont, Belgium, and now Germany, where his
new acoustic album, Hotel Vast Horizon, was recorded.
Chris signed his first major deal with Columbia at age 31.
This came after years of busking on the streets, being in
different bands, and a chance meeting with producer Daniel
Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan).
His following debut record Living With The Law was soon
released to popular and critical success. Rolling Stone
praised the artist "as a visionary, a bonafide poet...". The
New York Times raved that Whitley used "the dark secret of
blues in a modern context." What followed was a world tour
including support for Tom Petty.
In 1995 Chris Whitley released Din Of Ecstasy revealing his
creative need to evolve, challenging some listeners in the
process. Whitley did not employ blues as a tradition but as
a visceral and visual sensibility. One year later he
released Terra Incognita. Its mixture of ballads and a
lyrical range made Whitley stand out again. Then, a
cooperation with producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson,
M'Shell NdΘgeOcello, Joe Henry) led in 1998 to the release
of the intimate Dirt Floor. Bruce Springsteen chose this
record as one of his favorites of the year.
Chris played over 300 shows worldwide in support of Dirt
Floor, three of which were recorded for the album Live At
Martyr's.
In the following year, Whitley released the jazzy Perfect
Day. For the realization of this collection of covers, Chris
worked together with Billy Martin and Chris Wood from the
New-York fusion trio Medeski, Martin & Wood. Again, there
was praise from the New York Times, who called this record
"an amazing exercise in quiet intensity."
In 2001, Whitley released his seventh album Rocket House,
produced and co-written by Tony Mangurian (Bob Dylan, Willie
Nelson). The album, in its use of new electronic influences,
stands as another new definition in Whitley's musical scope.
Hotel Vast Horizon is Chris' first acoustic album of
original music recorded with a band. Matthias Macht
(drums/percussion), Heiko Schramm (bass) and Whitley
(dobro/banjo/vocals) performed this stunning collection of
mature and inspired compositions. Chris has once-again made
a career-defining record.
Chris Whitley, as a trio, will play European festivals this
summer before an actual tour in the fall.
