Thanks to the original poster!


I was only discussing Chris’ work the other day with an old pal and he seems to be rather under-rated and under exposed somehow (hit singles about Christmas may have damaged his credibility, street or otherwise, his blues roots and guitar playing talents which are well beyond the usual) In short he seems to have not achieved the heights his talent deserved. So this is very welcome and I urge folks to give it a try if you haven't heard very much. 
Thanks XRay!
