专辑名称：Skitter On Take-Off
Vic Chesnutt has recorded with many different people for all kinds of labels, but he s never made an album like his debut on Vapor Records. Chesnutt s first two releases were produced by R.E.M. s Michael Stipe, and from there he was featured in the PBS documentary Speed Racer and his songs were recorded for Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation. A wide range of artists including Garbage, Madonna, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M. and Live all covered Chesnutt originals. He has recorded with other groups like Widespread Panic and Lambchop and musicians as varied as Bill Frisell and Fugazi s Guy Picciotto. Chesnutt recently performed on Cowboy Junkie s Trinity Revisited, with others and over a dozen different releases of his own. Skitter On Take Off allows Vic Chesnutt to create his most dramatic album yet, recording devastating songs like Rips in the Fabric and Dick Cheney live with no overdubs. This album becomes a unique addition to his history, and allows the singer songwriter the chance to collaborate with an important influence. I m honored to work with Jonathan Richman. Over the years he s taken me under his wing and mentored me in a very meaningful way, truly shaping me into the songwriter and performer I am today. And it is an ongoing process. Chesnutt and Richman s work together is one for the ages.
