Live at Martyrs' is the fifth album by singer-songwriter and guitarist,
Dirt Floor (1998)), a previous collaboration, and two songs that would later appear on Rocket House
(2001).
It was produced by John Alagía and recorded over three consecutive nights in August 1999 at Martyrs' in Chicago, Illinois. It was co-mixed and co-engineered by Alagía and Jeff Juliano (assisted by Ken Helie) at Shelter Island Sound in New York City.
Whitley released the album independently and sold the CDs at his shows a year before the Messenger Records release.
