R.I.P. I flew around a little room once. A line from Supernatural. He was just that. He possessed an unearthly energy and yet was humanistic with the common man in mind. He was entirely present and entirely somewhere else. A mystical somewhere else. A child and an old guy as he called himself. Before he made an album he said he was a bum. Now he is in flight bumming round beyond the little room. With his angel voice. Patti Smith [...]

"I was at the hospital yesterday when he passed," said Michael Stipe (who produced Chesnutt's first two albums) in a telephone interview with NPR . What will he remember most about Chesnutt?

By Daniel Brielmaier I first heard Vic Chesnutt in the early 90's. His music was immediately engaging, his lyrics somewhat cryptic, often funny, sad, and unquestionably sincere. His early work had a level of humor and irony that evolved into something deeper and certainly darker. One thing that never changed was his honesty and wit. His music has always been very personal and always from the heart. There was no one like him. Vic was in his own league, and lived in a world of his own rules. He once [...]
Vic was our Keats, our Nina Simone. There will never be another like him. - Guy Picciotto, Fugazi It's funny the things we tend to remember, or I should say, the things I tend to remember. The minutiae. The first time I heard the name Vic Chesnutt was in the Fall of 1995; I was 20 [...]
Last night I read it all over the internet : Vic Chesnutt died ! He was one of those really talented artists that have a solid fan base but never seem to succeed in getting much success, in spite of their sparkling, moving and heart-warming songs. It must have been around 1991, when he released " West of Rome " and Michael Stipe of R.E.M. started spreading the word that this really great artist from Athens, Georgia should [...]

Είχα να αγοράσω δίσκο του από το 2005. Τώρα που την έκανε όμως παραμονές Χριστουγέννων και ακούω εκ των υστέρων τους στίχους του, καταλαβαίνω πόσο προ αναγγελθείς ήταν αυτός ο θάνατος. Τι έχει μεγαλύτερο ηρωισμό. Να ζεις όλη σου τη ζωή σε αναπηρική καρέκλα και να τραγουδάς "κράτα, δεν ήρθε ακόμη η ώρα", να φλερτάρεις με το θάνατο παίζοντας κιθάρα ή να πάρεις μια χούφτα μυοχαλαρωτικά πάρα πάνω; Οι περισσότεροι από μας δε θα χρειαστεί να μάθουμε ποτέ. vic chesnutt : flirted with you all [...]

DOWNLOAD: Vic Chesnutt - Warm (MP3) Vic Chesnutt, RIP What this man was capable of was superhuman. Vic was brilliant, hilarious and necessary; his songs messages from the ether, uncensored. He developed a guitar style that allowed him to play bass, rhythm and lead in the same song -- this with the movement of only two fingers. His fluid timing was inimitable, his poetry untainted by influences. He was my best friend. I never saw the wheelchair--it was invisible [...]
