Chris Whitley - Phone Call from Leavenworth

They hold me here much longer probably go mad all by myself

Now, I really need somebody, said I really need somebody's help

Why does a man up in the judgement chair

Got his ass God's right arm in some double pair? Alright

Walking a frozen line a Western Winter be hail and rain

Way back in New York this morning...

There ain't no one there who ever gonna remember my name

Now when the sun comes up, Mama, you should know

That now I just don't care no more. Alright!

Three o'clock this morning when I thought I saw Jesus coming down

He came through the concrete, baby

He came through them walls without no sound

Now, I mean concrete walls that ain't no clay

I closed my eyes, watched him slip away. Alright!

They look at you sideways

They call no man by his Christian name, his natural born name

All you got is your backbone to lean on

You can't expect no help from your brain

Now when a man wants reason, he best be willing to pay

I'm down in Leavenworth Prison now, and I do not count no days

I said when a man wants reason, he best be willing to pay

I'm down in Leavenworth Prison now, and I do not count no days

He looks like he is standing in the death card position on this cover. A black wing behind him. I love every song he ever made, b sides and all. Somebody send me something from him I have not heard. Man, I wish he was still around to entertain my ears

I saw this man briefly while he going to stage. I offered my hand as he offered his while putting his head in my shoulder while saying good to meet you. And then smiled to enter the stage.

I saw Thelma and Louise. It was one of the best soundtracks I had heard in years, I heard Kick the stones which lead me to Chris Whitley. So the next time you are watching a movie, Do not take the music for granted. Seek and you will find.

I have had this recording as a promo before it came out. Listened to it countless times. Can play most of it. And here on a sunday morning get serious fucking chill bumps like it is the first time. Unbelievable artist and I miss him.
