I learned of Vic Chestnutt from this film Empires of Tin that Jem Cohen made. It's a haunting movie about the loss of memory in a time of empire, haunting for me because so much of it is filmed in the streets I live in and daily wander in Gowanus and Red Hook.
So I noticed while I was in Philly (I think) he'd be playing after I left, and then again in Asheville two days after I would be leaving town. What is up with that? Was trying to figure out how to drag out my time, but turns out he is based in Athens, so maybe catch a show here?! But Athens folks are treating me so good, not sure if we'll be able to stop chattin long enough!
Umm, real quick other shout out to all my fab friends for the road music. You all have the most awesome and most awesomely eclectic taste in music - so rocking! Headed down to Decatur for an interview, and then will try to catch back up with all the fine folks I've been talking with over the past few days.
