About to Choke is a 1996 album by Vic Chesnutt, an American singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who was known for his raw, expressive vocals. It was his fifth album overall and his first for a major label.
Review by Thom Owens
About to Choke appeared only a few months after the Vic Chesnutt tribute album Sweet Relief II, which meant that it received more attention in the media than most of his other records. However, it's likely that it would have been put into the spotlight anyway, since it is another exceptional set of songs, delivered with a gritty vulnerability that makes his music so affecting. Chesnutt's music is a little more textured and full-bodied on About to Choke than his previous albums, yet that adds depth and maturity to his music, which also means its one of his most accessible efforts.

Is the Actor Happy? is an album by the American folk rock musician Vic Chesnutt, released in 1995.
Pitchfork called the album "not just arguably his finest release, but also his most extroverted ... His subject isn't just himself, but also his place among friends and amid the sprawl of the South." - Wikipedia

@Theresacityinmymind recently reminded me about #GiantSand, who I had the pleasure of seeing live a bunch of times in early/mid-90s Austin TX. Still love their brooding live take on "You're So Vain" - feat. the inimitable #VicChesnutt (RIP) on vocals.

from the album Lofi Covers
Le sue canzoni possiedono una natura vertiginosa. Sono ferite aperte e scoperte, vulnerabilità che offrono il petto ai colpi bassi del destino.
