Soft Dangerous Shores is the last album that Chris Whitley released during his brief lifetime. A true visionary, Chris challenged himself musically throughout his career, releasing albums that experimented in rock, grunge, jazz, folk, electronica, and especially the blues. Like his 2001 release, Rocket House, Soft Dangerous Shores mixes Whitley's stellar guitar work with elements of electronica. However, while Rocket House would dabble with various genres throughout the disc, Soft Dangerous Shores is more of a mood piece. The haunting keyboards and electronic drums are designed to provide a backdrop rather than be an equal part of the songs.(Front Cover)
