Chris Whitley is far from an unknown in our country. In the eighties he briefly lived in Ghent and became the father of a baby girl named Trixie. "Dust Radio" picks up in the nineties, when he made the album "Living with the law" in New York, together with Daniel Lanois. A true masterpiece, it introduced the world to his voice, his slide guitar and his songwriting skills. A career as an international star seems to be within reach, but Chris - gentle but stubborn - refuses to become a part of the commercial circus of the music business and goes his own way. It did not make him a rich man, but it earned him the respect of many music greats and turned him into a cult icon.
