In many ways, fits more comfortably in the great tradition of Southern literature than Southern rock & roll - with his elegant, slightly off-kilter wordplay and comfortably elliptical storytelling style, has as much in common with, say, Flannery O'Connor as anyone in contemporary music. Which is to say that doesn't sound much like anyone else, which is at once his blessing and his curse; it's hard to pitch him to most people because he's unique to the point of being an anomaly, but once you've acquired a taste for 's emotionally generous eccentricity, it's hard to get enough of him.
While sounds like a album through and through, it's also a better than average introduction to the man's work; here, producer and engineer gives the performances an open, natural sound that puts the top-shelf band assembled for the occasion (including, and ) at its best advantage, and himself is in superb voice, inhabiting his characters with the sure and easy grace of a gifted actor. But the best thing about a album is always the songs, and that's certainly the case here; in 's world, life-changing romance can be found at band camp, the gulf between the sexes is at once funny and tragic, a eunuch can understand the love of both body and spirit better than the sultan he serves, and love can wound and soothe given the circumstances - 's stories always strike an honest and recognizable emotional chord, no matter how oddball the situations that surround them. You're not going to hear an evocation of love like 'Sharing breakfast from one plate/Holding hands over loved ones' graves/Do you think I deserve it?/I say yes in my way yes' from anyone else, and the curious but heart-tugging beauty of lines like this are all the reason you need to give and an honored space in your record collection.
Around 1985, Vic Chesnutt moved to Athens and joined the band, La-Di-Das, with future member of the Dashboard Saviors Todd McBride. After leaving that group, he began performing solo on a regular basis at the 40 Watt Club; it was there that he was spotted by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. Stipe went on to produce Chesnutt’s first two albums, Little (1990) and West of Rome (1991). In 1993, Chesnutt was the subject of filmmaker Peter Sillen’s independently produced documentary, Speed Racer: Welcome to the World of Vic Chesnutt, which was shown on PBS. Chesnutt also had a small role as “Terence” in the 1996 Billy Bob Thornton movie Sling Blade, which he later described self-mockingly as a poor performance. In 1996, Chesnutt was exposed to a wider audience with the release of the charity record Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation, the proceeds from which went to the Sweet Relief Fund.
