I haven't posted since my initial pair, being occupied by work and traveling home for the holidays. It is a heavy heart that prompts this contribution. Vic Chesnutt, the prolific Athens-based singer-songwriter, committed suicide by overdose today at the age of 45. Chesnutt, a paraplegic as the result of a car accident when he was 18 years old, leaves behind a legacy of haunting, soul-bearing folk music, created both on his own and in collaborations with a diverse list of artists. His 2007 record North Star Deserter features members of Fugazi, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Thee Silver Mt. Zion. It's a great starting point for discovering Vic's brand of emotionally raw music. I only wish I could be sharing it on happier terms.Rest in Peace, Vic.
