What we have here is Merriment, the 1st collaboration between Vic Chesnutt and fellow Georgia pals and musicos Kelly and Nikki Keneipp. Its also the 7th Vic Chesnutt album when you really get down to it. Vic wrote the lyrics and sang them while occasionally contributing his inimitable gut-string guitar accompaniment. Curtiss Pernice and Sam Mixon from Porn Orchard stopped by and did some out o this world backup vocals on "Sunny Pastures." Overall, the results are, quite audibly, one of a kind -- something neither party would have been able to conjure on their own. There are bits of Lewis Carroll, funny, ominous, Brecht-Weill-ian nursery rhyme words, recitation, singing and music. And some just plain silliness. Its a piano based record, with six and twelve-string guitars and stunning basses (see "Preponderance"!) and clarinets and wacky percussion. All recorded at the Keneipp home recording complex. If the neighbors only knew! -Peter Jesperson
