"Supernatural" by Vic Chesnutt from the album Drunk(1996)
I think that most folks contribute my love of Mssr. Chesnutt to the fact that he, too, is a crip. Frankly, the first time I went to see him I had no idea and it's never really been much of an influence on my appreciation. Very few of his songs have to with being disabled but, instead, are little slices of brilliance. He's been called Faulkner with guitar and that's oftentimes true.
After such a hefty retort, I'm presenting you with one of Vic's few songs that is about his car accident. It's also one of his best. Some of you may know it from Live's cover from the Sweet Relief project.
Oh, and this will seriously be the last rsotw if people don't follow the original rules and post an opinion when they download it. Them's the rules, people. My MP3 for your thoughts.

That was really cool.
Posted by: Cory on October 11, 2004 04:55 AMYou know I'm a Vic fan. I am nowhere near as knowledgeable as you. My first exposure to him was while having coffee at Intelligensia and hearing West of Rome playing. I was immediately hooked. Thanks for yet another track. Please don't scrap RSOTW.

My friend is hung up on Life in the Food Chain by Tonio K again after all these years
Even though I'm not a fan of the twang, I likee this one. Much better than the stupid Santana song of the same name.
