Product Description
CD Description
Singer-Songwriter Chesnutt is the kind of gifted weirdo forwhom the term "cult hero" was invented. Somehow the folks at Capitol got the idea that they could make him a star (maybe it was the Michael Stipe association). Presumably, after coming to terms with the fate of unconventional artists like Chesnutt in the music marketplace, they handed SALESMAN AND BERNADETTE off to Capricorn Records. That's not to say this isn't the most fully realised, (relatively) broad-scale workChesnutt's done--backed by his buddies Lambchop, he turns observation into art again and again here. Over a pillow of lush, largely acoustic instrumentation, he tackles everythingfrom "Arthur Murray" to "Woodrow Wilson" with equal quirky aplomb. His southern drawl is at its most expressive here, and on some cuts he emotes to a previously unimagined extent.As ever, his combination of surreal poetry and everyday imagery makes for some winning, highly individualistic compositions.
