In this 1999 video from a Belgium television show, the late Chris Whitley gives a haunting acoustic performance of the song “Firefighter,” which would later appear on his Rocket House (2001) album as “Little Torch.” After the song, he discusses his album Dirt Floor.
Whitley was a great guitar player, songwriter, and singer who passed away on November 20, 2005 at the age of 45. We miss him.
