My Take
Vic Chesnutt moves me in a way few artists do. A singer-songwriter raised in Athens, Georgia, he made music while living with disability, and that hard-won fragility seeped into every song he wrote. His 1990 debut Little and the 1996 tribute record, where peers covered his work, tell me how deeply he was loved within his community. Losing him on Christmas Day 2009 at just 45 still feels like a wound to American songwriting. I believe the artists who carry pain often leave behind the gentlest, most honest songs. He deserves to be rediscovered and quietly cherished.
