Vic Chesnutt mailing list members compiled a tribute to the iconic Southern man a few years back, Humble and Gracious. In terms of affinity for cover versions, I'm firmly in the "fuck, yeah" camp - a well-chosen cover song in a band's set is a sure way to earn my affection, and I generally can't get enough. And while Chesnutt's idiosynchratic style might resist covers, this tribute has some fine ones. And the price is right.Here are three songs from Humble and Gracious, which would make a nice companion to Sweet Relief 2 on the shelf of the Chesnutt completist.
