Although the album was a critical smash and a AAA radio favorite, Whitley largely turned his back on its style for his following pair of records. <I>Din of Ecstasy</I>, released in 1995, was a bruisingly loud guitar trio album of deconstructed blues and experimental rock, while the following <I>Terra Incognita</I> was a bit milder, striking a stylistic balance between his first two releases. Whitley's latest release, <I>Dirt Floor</I>, was made for indie label Messenger Records and is essentially a solo acoustic affair. - Charles HodgkinsSinger-Songwriteren720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:27:08 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3217&rws=%2Fchris-whitley%2Fmusic-videos.rss Chris Whitley burst onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere with his 1991 debut <I>Living with the Law</I>, an album which set Whitley's sweeping vocals and gritty acoustic slide guitar style amidst Daniel Lanois' typically overripe, atmospheric production.
