A car crash left him a paraplegic when he was eighteen years old. Since then, he has been writing beautifully layered songs with warm textures and rich lyrics that bring haunting catharsis. R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe is a big fan of Chesnutt, and produced his first two albums. Where most down-tempo Americana artists eventually lose the attention of their listeners (except for Joe Pernice and Gillian Welch, of course), Chesnutt's soul-marinated songs are dynamic and intense. - Eric SheaUrban Folken720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:19:30 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7013&rws=%2Fvic-chesnutt%2Fmusic-videos.rss Vic Chesnutt sings mostly mellow rootsy songs with high-end nasal grit in his voice.
