Known as one of Australia’s most celebrated blues musicians, legendary soul and R&B artist, Chris Wilson, died earlier this week after being diagnosed with cancer.
CHRIS WILSON, age: 62 years old, has been an essential part of blues and rock music in Australia since taking the stage with the Sole Twisters twenty years ago.
Stints with Harum Scarum and Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls followed, and the end of the 80s saw Wilson as one of our finest vocalists, harmonica players and songwriters, fronting the superb Crown of Thorns.
His instrumental gifts have often been utilised on recordings by the likes of James Reyne, Hunters and Collectors, Vika and Linda, Renee Geyer, Archie Roach, X, Deb Conway and Ross Hannaford’s Dianna Kiss.
Chris had also shared the stage with the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Diesel and Elvis Costello during a career that spanned four decades. His vocal, harmonica, guitar and saxophone abilities have led to many guest positions on records, as well as the occasional overseas tour, and has enjoyed the company of Australia’s best musicians, both on stage and in the studio.
He was well known among Melbourne’s music scene, with Cherry Bar owner James Young once describing him as “Australian blues royalty”.

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much about
this, like you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you
simply can do with some % to power the message house a bit, but other
than that, that is fantastic blog. A fantastic read.
I’ll certainly be back.
