In December, singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt died in an Athens, Georgia, hospital after overdosing on muscle relaxants. Later this month, artists who knew and admired Chesnutt will gather to pay him tribute, as the Future of Music Coalition reports. February 19-20, Athens’ 40 Watt Club will host two shows billed as “A Celebration of Vic Chesnutt’s Live and Music”.

The first of the two shows will feature Kelly Hogan, Widespread Panic’s Todd Nance, Drive-By Truckers producer Dave Barbe, and others. The second show will include performances from Lambchop, Elf Power, Giant Sand’s Howe Gelb, Centro-matic’s Will Johnson, Sparklehorse’s Mark Linkous, and Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto with Mt. Zion.

If you’ve ever seen electro-soul whiz Jamie Lidell live, you know the guy can deliver ample amounts of ecstatic joy. It just feels good to be in the same room as him. So it makes a lot of sense that talented people including Beck, Feist, Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, Daniel Rossen, and Chris Bear, Wilco’s Pat Sansone, legendary R&B drummer James Gadson, soul belter Nikka Costa, Beck keyboardist Brian LeBarton, and producer/songwriter Gonzales would want to help out on Lidell’s new album. That album is titled Compass and due out May 18 courtesy of Warp.

This isn’t the first time Lidell has worked with Feist (he contributed to The Reminder sessions) or Beck, who got Jamie (and Feist and Wilco and Gadson) to sing and play on his most recent Record Club covers project. Compass was recorded at Hudson Studios in Los Angeles (where Beck and Lidell teamed up to write and produce some songs), Hollywood’s Ocean Way Recording, New York City, and Feist’s ranch in Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment (where Feist helped write and sang background vocals, while Chris Taylor did some producing, mixing, and bass clarinet playing). Expect dates for a full-band Lidell tour soon. (Pitchfork)
