Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
Contemporary honky tonker Mark Chesnutt's 1990 debut, Too Cold at Home, came with an endorsement from George Jones himself, not to mention a title-track hit that left you thinking that maybe, just maybe, ol' George wasn't exaggerating. Longnecks takes the "maybe" out of the question once and for all. One of the finest country albums of the 1990s, it's filled with rip-roarin' boot-scooters ("Bubba Shot the Jukebox"), Western swingers ("Old Flames Have New Names"), and sad ballads ("I'll Think of Something") that successfully update Jones's east-Texas tradition. And when Chesnutt covers Charlie Rich's "Who Will the Next Fool Be," he adds a bluesy wail that'll have your jaw hitting the floor. --David Cantwell

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, June 28, 2000

By A Customer

Mark Chestnutt has always been a true Texan country crooner. Having collected all of his albums, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Aside from the radio hits (Old Country, Bubba Shot the Jukebox ) songs like Talking to Hank and Old Flames Have New Names shows his vocal range. All around, the album maintains the listener's interest. If you like Mark, this is a "must have".

I Have This CD At Home. Mark Chesnutt Is One Of The Best Country Singers Today. He Also Has Talent In Songs Like The Ballads: "I'll Think Of Something", "Bubba Shut The Jukebox", And "Ol' Country", And The Two-Stepping Dance Song "Old Flames Have New Names". This Guy Is The Real Deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should have made him a superstar!!!, May 4, 2004

By	Cory L. Schwent (Bloomsdale, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This album had it all, 10 songs that could have all been singles; excellent honky-tonk sound; and awesome cover art. If this were released in 1955, it would have knocked Webb Pierce off his rocker!!!!!

Timeless music. I don't know what else to say. This is one of those cd's that you will be able to sing along with every song!! And who would have ever thought that Mark Chesnutt could cover early period Charlie Rich (Who Will The Next Fool Be) and actually make the song his?

I paid full price for this cd when it was realeased, now you can get it for budget price. You have no excuse not to have this.
