Vic Chesnutt - North Star Deserter (Constellation Records, 2007)
Let's face it, sometimes we like to wallow in our malaise. Robin Proper-Sheppard sang there's nothing like a long walk on a rainy night . Not by chance Fixed Water is the best album of Sophia, I See a Darkness to Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, and so on. It often happens that when you are going to touch the bottom you pull out the best. Borges wrote that the great misfortune is the raw material of poetry and literature that you can not do with happiness. Two steps beyond the Nick Hornby of High Fidelity: " What came first, the music or the misery? Listened to music because I suffered or do suffer because they listened to musica? Sono tutti quei dischi che ci fanno diventare malinconici? ". E’ in questo splendido quadro deprimente che si inserisce il miglior disco dell’inverno 2007: North Star Deserter di Vic Chesnutt.
Lo sventurato Vic, pace all'anima sua, nell’accogliente alcova della famiglia Constellation ha partorito un capolavoro che smarrisce e spaventa il cuore per poi ritrovarlo e riscaldarlo lasciando un'aurea di emozioni autentiche. Si passa dall’amaro cantautorato di tutta una ventennale carriera ( Warm ), alla distorta orchestralità figlia dell’efficace contributo del collettivo A Silver Mt. Zion ( Glossolalia ) mentre si invoca, and spectral light, the ghost of Nina Simone ( Fodder On Her Wings ) and special guest guitar nth (ave Guy Picciotto) is the beautiful and the weather ( Marathon and Debriefing ). But this is not all, absolutely not. Missing words to the poignant ballad entitled bright eyes You Are Never Alone, there is no more. I accept my weaknesses, in the end you do not deserve and never have enough words to describe their hard winter.
