Chesnutt, Vic
Silver Lake (180 Gr)
At the time Silver Lake was recorded, 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 that's set in a hospital). Chesnutt's idiosyncratic quaver
and nylon-string strum are abetted throughout by generous rock and soul arrangements, all of which were pristinely
recorded by Daniel Lanois protege Mark Howard (who also produced Lucinda Williams's World Without Tears).
