Editorial Reviews

Brute's Nine High A Pallet is the result of two days of jamming between Vic Chesnutt and Widespread Panic, an odd pairing if there ever was one. On paper, Chesnutt's stripped-back, bitter, folky records seem at odds with Widespread Panic's winding, Allman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The mixing of crazed bitter folkie Chesnutt and jam band Panic in unexpectedly pleasurable. The combination is pure genius, pure gold. Panic's playing is excellent as ever, and is improved by the resistance to the impulse to jam. The result is infectious, mesmerizing and divine. Every track is superb, especially worthy of note is the mournful, haunting `Westport Ferry', the funky, groovy `Alright' (both versions) and the poppy, irresistible `Good Morning Mr. Hard on'. The group will please fans of both bands, as well as fans of bands as diverse as The Dead, Bicycle Thief and Bap Kennedy. It's a must have, an album that gets better with every spin. Spin it now.

I am a long-time Panic fan, and I just found out about this gem. Vic adds a nice touch of folk and melody to Widespread's heavy sound. This is as down-to-earth as music can get. Kudos to Panic and the way they're able to work with other musicians, such as Vic Chestnut and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, to consistently produce new and interesting music.

The way Vic's lyrical eccentricities and Panic's uber-band talents blend, you'd think this was a match made in R.E.M. Heaven. They reign each other in a bit, but bring out the best in each other too. I heard this when it first came out and I've never tired of it.
