The daughter of the late American cult guitarist Chris Whitley, Belgium-born Trixie Whitley is at home both in Europe and America. On her debut album Fourth Corner she presented herself as an American soul and power singer. As if she especially wanted to showcase her great voice, so that she sometimes sang herself over.

The main roles remain her voice and emotionally charged presentation. Porta Bohemica, which she co-produced herself, is therefore a firm step forward. (MR)more
