Artist: Vic ChesnuttI first heard of Vic Chesnutt about six years ago when both Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly (from the band Throwing Muses) named "Silver Lake" their favorite release of the year. I bought it without hearing it first, and it's still one of my favorites to listen to. Sadly, Vic Chesnutt died on December 25th, an apparent suicide from an overdose of muscle relaxants. You can read about the talented singer/songwriter on Wikipedia here and visit his website here. There's an obituary from Rolling Stone here, where you can also find links to the magazine's reviews of Chesnutt's albums, and there's a nice-but-sad piece on the singer from The Guardian's blog here.
