huh? another new vic chesnutt record? im not going to complain of course, especially since famed troubadour jonathan richman had a hand in it. here’s what he, mr richman, had to say about how the pairing came about and below that is the first single from skitter on take off due out on 10.6 on vapour records.
THE VIC CHESNUTT RECORD AND WHY ME AND TOMMY WANTED TO DO IT
by Jonathan Richman
My drummer Tommy Larkin and I were driving in the van across the United States as we do two or three times a year on our tours of clubs and I said, “Y’ know, we should produce Vic’s next record!” And he said he thought so too. We both were thinking that the way to get the feeling for Vic as a listener was to hear just Vic – no arrangements, no guest guitar solo guys, no “ironic” touches or anything else to cloud his voice or his poetry. His guitar playing is also the guitar playing on this recording because we think no help is needed.
Tommy and I have toured with Vic several times and he’s long been one of our favorites. So we’re both proud of this record and glad for the chance to make it our way. A lot of it was brand new stuff – a few hours old or becoming a song right there as he sang.

Love the new logo Gregor. I think pretty highly of Vic as well. I’ve been a fan since Little. His albums, and his collaborations, have always been really solid. He’s also a really good live act. I’ll have to check out this one.
GREAT logo. I especially like the eyes.
thank guys, i dig it too. b, re: vic, i love his early stuff, and while every release is good – great sometimes his stuff is hard to swallow. my first vic record was west of rome, and i guess i compare everything to that. which isnt really fair considering its def in my top 15 records of all time.
