At The Cut

Vic Chesnutt, as many will know, is the real deal, A man who's surly, witty, unflinching perspective, brilliantly unique wordsmithery and profound playfulness, thumbs its nose at a life of seriously hard knocks, Vic's hundreds of songs are chock of full of real irony, wonderful turns of phrase, humour, rage, tenderness, and ornate observation. 2007's North Star Deserter was a highly acclaimed release & signalled a return to top form for Vic, helped along by several core members of the Constellation label roster and Fugazi's Guy Picciotto, At The Cut picks up where North Star Deserter left off, with explosive opener, Coward, then settling into what is arguably the most intimate, pensive and heartbreaking work of his career, Its many themes are delivered with both raw gusto and honest affection, A bonafide classic by a man better positioned than most, to sing it strong and true.
