Quiet.
Southern musician and songwriter Carson Whitsett died May 8. He seems to have been best known as part of the Malaco Records house band and as a member of Kathy Mattea's touring band. He also wrote or co-wrote an impressive string of soul songs. They include Solomon Burke's "Don't Give Up On Me" and the commonly performed "Blues of the Month Club." He had a hand in creating this fine composition on the late Dalton Reed's Willing & Able album. A family member made a non-musical video montage of Whitsett family photos.
