Axis Point (1978-1981)
Los Racketeeros
(1981-present): Whitney's blues/bluegrass group has a 16 year history, and they finally released their first album in 1995. This crossover rock-country album is in the same vein as Workingman's Dead. All of the tunes are originals, except for a cover of "Burlesque." The talents of Whitney can be heard throughout this CD, with many slides and rich 12-string tones to be had.
John Whitney AKA Charlie Whitney (1999): Whitney's first solo CD is a product of his recent work in the home studio. An electric counterpart to Los Racketeeros, it features some great rockers, songs of rumination and a few tunes which expose his fascination with the sea. Whitney plays almost all the instruments, and he sings lead vocals throughout the album. His never-before-heard quirky vocal style, matched with his penchant for guitar slides, clearly shows his fondness for George Harrison. The record features 12 tracks, including a raw slide version of "My Friend the Sun."
