Mountain Side by Chris Whitley & The Bastard Club
From Reiter In (Red Parlor/2006)
Recorded a few months before he died of lung cancer in 2005, Reiter In amounts to perhaps Whitley’s last release of new material. Mostly covers - “Mountain Side” is a Flaming Lips tune - (and don’t ask me why Whitley’s use of covers is infinitely more acceptable than Scott Miller’s, all right?), it rocks harder and looser than anything he’s released since Din Of Ecstasy. It’s not his best, but I’ll take what I can get.
