Description





Quote:

Chris Whitley released his debut album, Living With the Law, in 1991. Released at a time when the music scene was about to be dominated by hip/hop and grunge, Living With the Law was steeped in electric blues complemented by Whitley's impressive guitar work and very distinctive singing voice. With a dense production by Daniel Lanois, it would also prove to be his most radio friendly release. However, despite it having several tracks that would have been AOR hits if given the chance as well as much critical acclaim, Living With the Law didn't earn Chris Whitley the recognition he deserved. However, to a small but dedicated fan base, it would provide the blueprint for an impressive catalog of music.

Although nearly every song here is top notch, only the melancholy title track and "Big Sky Country" would garner decent airplay. Containing memorable melodies as well as Whitley's unmistakable voice which could go from a whisper to a high falsetto without warning, they are both among his best songs and performances. Chris' love of the blues was evident throughout his career and is well exhibited on the dark and brooding tracks "Make the Dirt Stick" and "Long Way Around." While these tunes are both very good, neither of them matches the power of "Phone Call from Leavenworth." One of the best blues songs ever recorded, Chris recalls the old bluesmen like Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker while still retaining his own identity, a pattern he would later return to on his War Crime Blues album.

Tracks like "Poison Girl" and "Kick the Stones" are among his most direct and memorable tracks that would have been popular in another time where music mattered more than image. "Look What Has Love Done" and "I Forget You Everyday" are both great ballads although the production is a little dominant on the latter. "Bordertown" takes the darkness of "Make the Dirt Stick" and combines it with the fury of "Long Way Around." Finally, "Dust Radio" is another excellent track which builds from a slow blues to hard rock where the power chords sound downright majestic at its closing.

All told, Living With the Law would be a great start to an excellent career that like more heralded artists like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Duane Allman, and Lowell George, would end too soon.
