Chris Whitley, 1960-2005

I'm shocked and heartbroken to learn that this extraordinary artist died on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Read some thoughts from his family and fans, or post some of your own, in these forums.

I feel lucky to have had several long conversations with Whitley over the years, most recently in the summer of 2005 for an NPR story on his record Soft Dangerous Shores.

A few days ago I offered a few reflections on his life and music in this remembrance for All Things Considered.
