I've only recently started listening to Jeff Lang and like his music a great deal, and then I came across this collaboration with Whitley and I must say I'll be searching out more of his work as well.
Together they are magic and the...  (Read full review at Amazon)

I've heard a little of both Jeff Lang and Chris Whitley's solo stuff, but this collaboration takes the chequered flag. Together they create a raw, visceral and driving sound that's warm and richly textured. My favourite tracks are the Dylan...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Very Fine Effort

I really thought this would be a toss-off effort from the late Chris Whitley, and Australian Jeff Lang, but happily this turned out not to be true.

The two seem to inspire each other, and the result is a fine CD. Whitley is in...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Dislocation Blues Full Description
Dislocation Blues The late Chris Whitley plainly found a kindred spirit in Australia's Jeff Lang, with whom he collaborated on his last recording before his 2005 death. Both are breathy vocalists and bluesy adventurers who favor a buzzsaw immediacy to more layered, polished recordings. With Whitley playing mainly National steel guitar and Lang alternating among lap steel and other guitars, backed by a crack rhythm section, the music has a haunted, sin-drenched quality that ranks with Whitley's most intense. Highlights range from the tribal-throb rendition of Prince's "Forever in My Life" and the Asian delicacy of Lang's acoustic "Ravenswood" to the Dylanesque phrasing of Whitley's "Velocity Girl" and a pair of Dylan covers ("When I Paint My Masterpiece" and "Changing of the Guard"). The opening "Stagger Lee" and the closing "Hellhound on My Trail" (an unlisted bonus cut) show where this music is rooted, while Whitley's "Rocket House" and the supercharged "Underground" show where it can soar. --Don McLeese
