jamessqueaky's Full Review: The Salesman and Bernadette by Vic Chesnutt
Vic Chesnutt seems like such a very sad man. His slow, acoustic guitar songs and Cat Steven's like voice are the very essence of extreme lonliness, pain, and sincere agony. Vic Chesnutt is wheelchair-bound parapelgic and I don't know the history of that, but I don't think he was born that way.
The guitar is the first thing that comes to mind but there is actually tons of other instruments on this album as well—Trumpets, Baritone Sax, Clarinet, Piano, Farfisa, Accordion, recorder and even a whistle.
"Emasculate me with your biology. Break me. Bend me. I'm worthless... you laugh when I tell you you're gorgeous" heck, that gave me goosebumps to even type. His "happier" songs are even a bit more distrubing actually "everything was perfect in my head til the lead started hitting me" Overall a sad, beautiful masterpiece that made m go out and buy his two previous albums (there might be more, actually) and I love all of them, but this is the best, most solid album of the three.
