depends on which angle you're coming from...

...I came from the Vic Chesnutt angle. I can't offer anything for Widespread Panic fans, 'cause I don't know their music. But for me, this and the other Brute album ("Co-Balt") are a real mixed bag... mixture of generic/uninspired to, well, the opposite. I think "Blight" is the song most likely to please Vic Chesnutters. I also like 'PC', 'Snowblind' and maybe 'Westport Ferry'. The official review up at the top of the page says something about a "looseness", which is actually the opposite of what i got from this stuff.... it actually seems more polished and together than, say, 'is the actor happy?', which is one of my favorites by V.C. Anyhoo.

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 Brothers-inspired Southern rock. However, Brute’s record sounds much better than it reads, adding a loose rhythmic kick to Chesnutt’s tales. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
