Product Description

From Amazon.com
Chesnutt graduates to the majors with a strong fifth album that's a natural progression from Texas Hotel classics like Drunk and Is The Actor Happy. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly produced, first class song writing., 3 Oct 2001
This review is from: About to Choke (Audio CD)
Chesnutt's major label debut, "About to Choke" is an exceptional record. From the opening bars of the first song, "Myrtle" you know you're in for a treat. The production on this record is undoubtedly more polished than that of his previous releases but far from damaging, the full sound serves to enhance the soul encapsulated in these beautiful but harrowing songs.
One begins to wonder whether Chesnutt can sustain the intensity of the record across 12 songs. He accomplishes this feat by effortlessly veering through genres from folk to pop via the jazz tinged soul of "Little Vacation". Chesnutt's unique voice sews the album together, preventing the listener from losing any sense of coherency.

A masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars A simple and effective set of songs, 29 Jul 2005
By David J. Kelly (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: About to Choke (Audio CD)
This was a ab bit of an impulse bu. I had heard good things about Vic Chesnutt and read good reviews of this album. None of them were wrong, there are few better songwriters than Vic Chesnutt, add to that the unique style and you have a truly distinctive set of songs. My personal favourites are "Myrtle", "Degenerate" and "Threads" but there isn't really a bad song on this album. The songs are mainly self accompannied with a guitar or keyboards but he does let other musicians join in. Vic's style here is a little like REM, just a little, and his voice is perfect for the songs. Now I'll just have to go and get some more of his albums!
