Multiple artists: 1) Deep-house producer whose tracks are represented here. 2) Melbourne bluesman. Based in Geelong, Australia, Chris Wilson is a singer, songwriter and musican who works primarily in the blues genre and occasionally edges into gospel/country. Gaining recognition in the 80s providing the searing blues-harp noise of Harem Scarem and gigging for many years as the frontman of Crown of Thorns, Chris has been involved in many bands and projects, including The Spidermen, Rose Amongst Thorns, The Pubdogs, Peaceful Anticipation Social Aid and Pleasure Club, The Drawcards, Sherine, Gospel Choir, and The Sole Twisters. His 1994 album Live at The Continental, recorded with guitarist Shane O'Mara and pianist Jex Saarelaht, is regarded as an Australian classic. Chris has recently regained copyright ownership of that CD and has re-released it as a 2CD set with additional material from the concert.
