Label: Vapor
Genre: Folk, singer-songwriter
Comments: From the promoter:
"Yes, Vic Chesnutt did just release a new album a few weeks ago [At the Cut], but one full-length is simply not enough for Chesnutt. Skitter On Take-Off finds Chesnutt teaming up with Jonathan Richman [Modern Lovers] and Tommy Larkin [drummer for Jonathan Richman]. Skitter On Take-Off finds Vic Chesnutt creating his most dramatic music of his career. Devastating songs like 'Rips in the Fabric' and 'Dic Cheney' were recoreded live with no overdubs creating an incredible sense of overwhelming emotion poured through strings and vocal chords. Skitter On Take-Off is destined to become a unique addition to Chesnutt's history and allows the singer-songwriter the chance to collaborate with a living-legend."
Chesnutt sounds like he is sitting right in front of you on on this record. Simply instumented, attention commanding, highly specific, and very present, this music will please fans of Bonnie 'Prince' Billie. Go to "Dimples" or "Dick Cheney."
