CHRIS WHITLEY: 2002 Long Way Around: An Anthology 1991-2001 (Columbia/Legacy Records 86082)

Chris Whitley was a true artist. A true bluesman. A true vagabond. A true musician. All of his records need to be listened to from start to finish to really appreciate his talent. Even more so, seeing him live on stage was like a religious experience.

However, he did have some stand-out songs and was able to garner some radio play and mild commercial success during his career. Columbia & Legacy Records did a great job culling numerous tracks from numerous albums and numerous record labels over the first decade of his career, '91-'01. This record has sixteen tracks in all. You've got demos. You've got remixes. You've got edit versions. You've got unreleased songs. And you've got one hidden track. Everything you could possibly want for an overview of Whitley's career is right here. Fantastic liner notes and a brilliant photo collage on the inside of the disc add to the beauty of the record. You won't be disappointed. As always, more information on the man's life and career can be found at www.chriswhitley.com. (FULL SCANS INCLUDED)
