Vic Chestnutt | The Salesman and Bernadette

Vic Chestnutt, THE SALESMAN AND BERNADETTE (1998), and Lambchop, NIXON (2000). These two CDs could form a bookend set. It's Nashville's thirteen-piece Lambchop that's backing Vic Chestnutt on THE SALESMAN AND BERNADETTE, and a similar mood flows into their own NIXON. Both are extremely "literary," "Southern" albums. The song "Square Room" from the definitely darker Chestnutt CD is completely unique and should be required listening at any rehab center.
