Vic Chesnutt knows how to leaven his intensity with humor, or with arrangements that put a pretty buffer between his neuroses and his listeners' ears. This 2007 release finds the alt-folk singer applying all these tricks and more on a set of sad, angry, and at times even uplifting songs that thrive on lovely melodies and smart lyrics. His many guests on this first release for the Southern Records label include members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fugazi, and the Quavers.

Personnel: Vic Chesnutt (vocals, nylon-string guitar); Everybody (vocals); T. Griffin (acoustic guitar); Guy, Efrim , Chad (electric guitar); Jessica (violin); Gen (viola); Beckie (cello); Nadia (piano, organ); Effrim (harmonium); Bruce (vibraphone, glockenspiel); Thierry (electric bass); Howard, Scott (drums); Nadia Moss, Eric, Guy Picciotto, Jem, Howard Bilerman, Bruce Cawdron, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, Eric Craven, Genevieve Heistek, Chad Jones.

Spin (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[When] Vic Chesnutt spikes his soul-crushing songs with a wicked grin, he somehow gives discomfort a powerful allure."
Q (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Everything I Say' and 'Debriefing' crank up the volume and rock dynamics to devastating effect. Chesnutt goes where few other songwriters dare to go..."
Uncut (p.87) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "NORTH STAR DESERTER is among his finest.....'Glossolalia' builds into a mighty squall evocative of 16 Horsepower."
The Wire (p.57) - "The musicians have the good sense to know when to let Chesnutt's dry-leaf vocals and muted acoustic guitar carry the songs, and when to swell up and bring a heightened Gothic intensity to the feelings of melancholy and dread."
No Depression (p.95) - "[With a] gentle vocal delivery...his songs become unassuming but also strangely unsettling."

4 stars North Star Deserter live at Paradiso Amsterdam
I did not hear the cd yet that I bought yesterday at his first gig on his new European tour. He played most songs from North Star Deserter at the Paradiso in Amsterdam yesterday. It was so intense amd extraordinary from his special vocal delivery to the unassuming lyrics and the dynamics within the songs crankin up the volume backed by members of Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra.Too few were there to witness it as too few are buying his cd's.

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness. Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and ...

Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual work too far out) kept the record from being released. With several oceans' worth of water under the bridge, ...

Rock Around The Bunker
Serge Gainsbourg Rock Around The Bunker CD  (1975) (Import) France

North Star Deserter songs
CD $23.18  SALE 
Not exactly a Mel Brooks' vehicle, Serge Gainsbourg's 1975 ROCK AROUND THE BUNKER features ten tongue-in-cheek Nazi pop songs, including "Eva," "Yellow Star," and "SS in Uruguay." The sequence of brilliant, if somewhat unconventional, concept albums which occupied Serge Gainsbourg through the early to mid-'70s continues with an album which can be (and indeed has been) described as either a European reclamation of the pop potential of the Third Reich, following the success of Mel Brooks' The Producers, or an acerbic reclamation of a Jew's own humanity 30 years after the Nazis forced him to walk the streets in a bright yellow star. Or, and seen within the context of its maker's entire oeuvre, it might just be the slaughter of another of the sacred cows which Gainsbourg found so irresistible. His previous album, Vu de Exterieur, was dedicated to merde and pets; his next, L'Homme a Tete de Chou, tells the tale of an especially sadistic ...

You're Still The Man In Black
James Maddox You're Still The Man In Black CD  (2003)

North Star Deserter CD music
CD $13.15
Hello,My name is James Maddox. I would like to tell you a short story about how and why the song, "You're Still The Man In Black" was written and recorded. A few weeks ago, two friends, Ed Gowens, Tim Hicks and myself got together and wrote a song as a tribute to my Hero, The Great Johnny Cash. We finished recording the song late in the afternoon on September 11, 2003. We wrote a short note about Johnny on the inside of the front cover. Our plan was to send a CD of this song to Johnny Cash the next day, September 12, 2003. We had heard he had just got out of the hospital and we thought this song might make him feel better.When we awoke on the morning of the 12th, we heard the sad news that Johnny had passed away. This was indeed a very sad day for all of America and music lovers all over the world. Here is a copy of the note we wrote to Johnny:"This song is written about a great American hero of many people through-out the world. His music has inspired people of all races, colors, and creeds, and will live on in the hearts of many people. As long as Country and Gospel songs are played, his songs will forever be a part of music history. This song is dedicated to you, Johnny Cash, my Hero. Johnny, You're Still The Man In Black ""You're Still The Man In Black"Written & copyright © 2003 by James Maddox, Ed Gowens, & Tim HicksJust outside of Memphis, we lived in a shack, the freight trains sound so lonely as they moved along the tracksThen one day, on the radio, I heard that same clickety-clack, then the DJ said you just heard...The man in blackHe sang songs about the poor man, and this country that he loves, and songs that tell a story about one man's loveHe was my hero, when I lived in that shack, I'll never forget the first time I ever heard... The man in blackHe came into Memphis on one cold December Day, picking that old Gibson, he so loved to playHe was a hero to a young man in that time, Chills ran all over when he sang...I walk the lineHe sang songs about the poor man, and this country that he loves, and songs that tell a story about one man's loveHe was my hero, when I lived in that shack, ...
