Reiter In is the thirteenth album by singer-songwriter and guitarist, Chris Whitley. It is his eleventh studio album and the last he made before his death (five months later, at 45) in November 2005.

Contents

The album was recorded as a band effort and is billed as "Chris Whitley & The Bastard Club" and released posthumously in 2006.

Kenny Siegal (of Johnny Society) produced, co-wrote, and played on the album. It was recorded all analog and live on a two-inch tape Sony MCI JH24 tape deck through a Trident board at Old Soul Studios in Catskill, New York. It was mixed by John Holbrook.

Whitley had returned to New York in the spring of 2005, because he was offered a US club tour, which he accepted even though his health was declining. While in NYC he faced eviction from his apartment while he made the record. [4]
