A hidden gem by one my musical heroes
The deeper I dig into Chris Whitley's body of work, the more I find. He was able to make some incredibly diverse music that is consistently top quality. These songs just make me happy. It's so surprising to me that this stuff isn't played by every radio station in the country. This man should...

A man at the height of his powers... fantastic!
Reiter In continues the big, dirty swamp 'blues and swagger' that were on the album Dislocation Blues (with Jeff Lang). The mood is dark, the voice is a haunted howl and whisper, the guitars growl and wail. Totally mesmerizing and I played it for days on end after I got it.I bought this after...

one for the obsessives
This was a disappointment for me...the recording quality is poor and it was obviously released post-mortem...maybe to milk the legend?? One for the obsessives only..stick to his studio work.

Chris' raw and moving farewell
Chris Whitey's posthumous release, Reiter In, finds the criminally underrated songwriter/guitarist still challenging himself even while he was fighting to survive. Rather than go in the atmospheric direction of Soft Dangerous Shores, this is live in the studio release with a "just plug in and let...

Reiter In
I absolutely loved the instrumental, Inn, and Chris' version of the Flaming Lips' song, Mountain Side. I met Chris when he toured through Las Vegas six years ago and he was a kind man who appreciated his fans.

One Last Gasp of Genius!
My oldest daughter, now 23, became mesmerized by Chris Whitley's "Living With The Law" album when she was pre-school age. "Stones Under My Bed" is still her fave.I some ways, she has tried to live up to Chris Whitley's outlaw sensibilities. (One too many tatoos and a terrible problem with...

Intens, hard-rocking, original.
Up till now my favorite Chris Whitley album was Dirt Floor. There's another favorite now; this latest album by the late great floor-stomping singer is raw and rocking with a twist. The hard drive works to perfection in combination with a souring violin. Buy this CD and if you do not own a copy of...

He will be missed
I saw Chris Whitley in Memphis three years ago, and I had goose bumps for days! For me, Reiter In is a must-have, since it is likely his last body of work. I own many Whitley cd's that I would rate as 5 star, but I was a little disappointed with the number of covers he did on Reiter In. My...

Hypnotic guitar
I came across Chris Whitley's cover of Mountain Side in a podcast, and when I looked at the album and saw that the first track was a cover of I Wanna Be Your Dog I just bought it. I don't know many of the other original songs that he covered but it doesn't bother me - almost every song on this...

A Eulogy for the Living
Wow, I just received "Reiter In" and am in agreement with other reviewers. Chris Whitley has always been a favorite of mine, ever since the stunning debut of "Living With the Law". I saw Chris on tour supporting that album in Seattle, on a double bill with Toad the Wet Sprocket. The auditorium...
