Just learned about a new documentary on Chris (who died in 2005).  Not sure how much of his music is included, but it would be hard to do a film about a musician without lots of his work.  He did some very gritty and raw stuff and is one of my all time favorite artists.   I imagine this will get very limited release, but I'm certainly going to watch for it:

 :+1: I've got two of his CD's: "Living with the law" and "Dislocation Blues" with Jeff Lang - his vocals are still growing on me, but the slide guitar work is just great...

Looks really interesting, and really heartbreaking  :(
