Neo-honky tonker Mark Chesnutt parlayed a solid grounding in classic country into chart-topping
stardom during the '90s. Chesnutts' debut album,"Too Cold at Home" , was released in 1990, and the title track became
his first hit, climbing into the country Top Five. With a style that blended George Jones, Merle Haggard , and Bob Will,
Chenutt went on to score four more Top Ten hits from the album: the number one "Brother Jukebox," "Blame It on Texas," "Your
Love Is a Miracle," and "Broken Promise Land." By the time that string ran out, Chesnutt had finished his follow-up, 1992's
"Long Necks and Short Stories" It gave him four more Top Five singles in "Bubba Shot the Jukebox", "Old Flames Have New Names,"
the chart-topping "I'll Think of Something," and "Ol' Country."Chesnutt kept his hit-machine status going on 1993's "Almost
Goodbye" which gave him three more chart-toppers in the title track, "It Sure Is Monday," and "I Just Wanted You to
Know." 1994's What a Way to Live offered the number one "Gonna Get a Life" and the number two "Goin' Through the Big D" My
all time favorite Chesnutt song has to be "Ill Think of Something".
