Vic Chesnutt Goes Back to His Roots-- Himself, 12 April 2002

By A Customer

This newest offering from Vic will probably be especially appealing to longtime fans who enjoyed his solo efforts: Little, Drunk, Is The Actor Happy, and West of Rome. Left To His Own Devices, while not as unified an effort, puts on display a rangy and organic sample of Vic's sounds and sentiments. The second track, "Very Friendly Lighthouses" is superficially a catchy pop tune, but Vic's snarling vocals and surprising lyrics lend it the emotional complexity that sets it apart, "Motor-boating through our lives, only gradually gaining rudimentary naviagational skills, I'm even sometimes offended by very friendly lighthouses." Vic's delivery, squeezing each syllable for its emotional analogue, has to be heard to be understood, or more properly put, felt. Also, for the first time in many albums, Vic seems to be more directly autobiographical this time; at one point he imitates the patronizing words he must have heard many times (because of his injury) "We should be so brave." Again, it is his delivery which makes all the difference, as Vic manages to undercut the false-sincerity of such statements and to imply that, indeed, most people ARE gutless. Overall, "Left to His Own Devices" has one clear advantage over the album that preceded it (Merriment), it is much LONGER, something all Vic fans will be glad to hear.
