Vic Chesnutt Artist Snapshot:

Athens, GA-based singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt was paralyzed for life following a 1983 car accident. Despite his condition, Chesnutt learned to play the guitar and began performing in local clubs. At the urging of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, Chesnutt started recording, and would go on to release numerous albums of stirring, melancholy roots-rock full of desperate characters and Southern Gothic imagery. He continued to record and perform well into the 2000s.

Review

Uncut (5/03, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...His obvious poetic and melodic gifts have seldom sounded so compelling..."
Dirty Linen (4/04, pp.50-1) - "SILVER LAKE finds him once again impressive....Chesnutt is a true original with the pen."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/03, p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Big, attractive, textured and ornate. Full and lush, yet somehow homey and direct..."

Recorded at Real Music Studios, Silver Lake, California in 2002.

The Athens, Georgia, singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt carved a substantial niche for himself throughout the 1990s with a series of perfectly formed if eccentrically realized albums that were variously wrathful and slyly off-kilter. Recorded in 2003, this similarly wry collection of deftly drawn songs is abetted by a sensitive collection of sidemen, who color them with whispered musical accents and distant, archaic-sounding percussion, as well as supporting them with catchy-sounding riffs when the occasion demands.

Chesnutt's wide-ranging lyrical imagination is much in evidence on songs that encompass a eunuch's intercessions between a sultan and his undeserved harem ("Sultan, So Mighty"); a juvenile romance at band camp ("Band Camp"); an unrealized affair with a fellow hospital patient (Fa-La-La"); and the endearingly antisocial entreaty of "Stay Inside." The whole album is a succession of expertly told short stories that aim to bewitch the listener, and--like the best tales--reveal a little more each time they're told.
