American singer-songwriter and guitarist known for a raw, blues-inflected, stripped-down style and intimate, lo-fi recordings.

Born 1960, died 2005. Widely praised for albums including Living With the Law and Dirt Floor; often recorded in minimal, live-feeling settings (self-produced/minidisc as noted in reviews).

A close, admiring reading of Chris Whitley's stripped-down, blues-inflected work. The review praises self-produced, live-feeling recordings (notably Weed) and compares them to Dirt Floor. Emphasis on minimal, visceral performances captured in lo-fi settings.

For:Fans of stripped-down blues, acoustic guitar aficionados, listeners who prefer lo-fi, intimate recordings.

 Self-produced records, self-recorded around the world for millions of guitar & footstomp evenings: writing songs distilled directly from internal organs, with the metal guitar becoming a sort of extension of the digestive tract.
