Hi all,
I just picked up Dislocation Blues, a recently-released joint effort by Chris Whitley and Jeff Lang. Lang plays steel on about half the tracks (acoustic, 'amplified acoustic,' and electric).
Sounds good so far--some Whitley songs, some Lang songs, some covers of Dylan, Robert Johnson. It's got a raw, spare sound overall. Kinda like Whitley's Weed, if you're familiar with that, although this one's got more accompaniment.
For what it's worth to ya,
Vince
