Released just before his media profile was raised by the 1996 tribute/benefit CD Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation, Vic Chesnutt's fourth solo album demonstrates his immense talents as both a singer and a songwriter. Integrating electric instruments into his low-key arrangements more fully and successfully than he had on the previous year's DRUNK, the Athens, Georgia auteur turns his songwriting focus on his lyrics, which are his sharpest yet. Whether taking stock of his medical condition on "Gravity of the Situation" and the disturbing, despairingly powerful blues song "Free At Last," or gleefully imagining distant cultures in "Thailand," Chesnutt is a plainspoken, economical writer capable of evoking strong emotion and vivid images in the fewest words possible. John Keane's sympathetic, unobtrusive production supports Chesnutt's songs beautifully. IS THE ACTOR HAPPY? is a wonderful introduction to this underappreciated talent.
