Alex Chilton, 1950-2010.

Mountain Stage mourns the loss of one of popular music's brightest stars, Alex Chilton. The former Box Tops singer and leader of Big Star made two appearances on Mountain Stage, first in 1992 and again in 1997.

Read his obituary from Memphis paper "Commercial Appeal" here.
 

His performance of "Guantan Amerika" was included on our Mountain Stage Best of Volume 3 CD - available on CD or get the mp3 at Amazon. We've streamed the track below, featuring Ron Easley on bass and Doug Garrison on drums, along with Chilton on guitar and vocals.
