Title: vintage Whitley
Review: I bought this album because someone told me it was all acoustic; I didn't really know who Chris Whitley was at the time. IT BLEW ME AWAY. The purity of sound, the intensity and honesty of the lyrics in every song, is astoundingly, achingly beautiful. His talent for song-writing is at the forefront, with songs like Scrapyard Lullaby, Indian Summer, Wild Country, and Dirt Floor leading the way. The jazz undertones of From One Island to Another give but a small hint of the range that Chris Whitley is capable of ... this album whets my appetite for his next endeavor! This is easily the best new album I've heard all year.
