I too discovered Chris through “new light..”. I was a kid at the time. Then it was Auberge, when I worked at a record store and we had a promo copy. I appreciate you mentioning Knopfler and Lowell George, the later of which I adored but failed to make that connection. It is surprising to me he never found success in the States in a similar fashion as these contemporaries.
GGBS is a favorite of mine, too. I originally had the title track and "Miles" on the Mixtape included here, but I decided to keep it to 35 songs...But I don't see why I can't expand it to at least 40 (these are completely arbitrary rules anyway).

Agreed. It’s such a shame.
That voice, that slide, that sensibility. I'll miss Chris more than most. He was a foundation of my musical and broadcasting experience
Great post. It’s sent me searching for the Stony Road album.
Great! Let me know what you think.
Yep road to hell, the long version we’ve been riding of late.
Frankie is one of the best, no doubt!
Thank you for the kind words from a fellow fan!
