Welcome to my generic web page.

Some of you may know who Chris Whitley is, but many of you probably don't. He was, in my opinion, the greatest force I've ever witnessed on this earth. He was a singer/songwriter/guitarist with no equal. He passed away in November 2005 at the age of 45. I have never heard anything like him before and I'm positive I will never hear anything like him again.

I recorded two covers of his songs in my bathroom (apologies for the leaky toilet), and I've made them available here for download.

Both of these songs are off of his album 'Dirt Floor', available at Amazon here. This is a link to his website, and I encourage everyone to buy his albums and listen to his music.

'Dirt Floor' is a little different, because I couldn't really get it the way Chris wrote it. I added some instrumental parts that seemed to fit, and subsequently my version is of course a more "in the spirit of...." type cover.

You can download my 'Dirt Floor' cover by right clicking and selecting "save target as" here.

And you can download my 'Wild Country' cover by right clicking and selecting "save target as" here.

Drop me an email at junkopardner@insightbb.com and let me know what you think if you feel compelled.

 

Peace, Love and Billy Jack-
