Description
You could count on two things with Vic Chesnutt: he would approach any topic from the delicate to the mundane and he would take an unexpected angle. With an incisive eye and razor wit, he would always cut straight to the heart of the matter. He did so to great effect on Silver Lake, giving equal weight to the tender affirmation of In My Way, Yes and the scathing self-critique of Styrofoam, and applying his delightfully odd spin to the standard love story on both Band Camp (a funny, nostalgic tale of romance in the high school horn section) and the Brian Wilson homage Fa-La-La (a saga of unanswered longing set in a hospital).
Chesnutts idiosyncratic quaver and nylon-string strum are abetted throughout by generous rock and soul arrangements, all of which were pristinely recorded by Daniel Lanois protégé Mark Howard (who also produced Lucinda Williamss World Without Tears).
Chesnutts stories always strike an honest and recognizable emotional chord, no matter how oddball the situations that surround them. All Music
