Mark Chesnutt

I've listened to many country albums on the market that were released recently, but this one is amazing and more inspirational than other popular albums. This CD is the best because it makes you fell in love and matches your state of mind. I ordered a fiddle along with this CD and now I practice some songs. When I go for a walk and i see falling leaves and gray sky here in october i just turn my player to my favorite one: "When I Get This Close To You" and i feel happy. The only dissapointing thing about this CD is that liner notes don't contain lyrics! I just can't understand why one should make secret of it, and the CD itself is not properly fixed in the case and falling out when you open it. Other than that, music is amazing, real country in every bit of it. i give 5 stars! My favs: "When I Get This Close To You", "Things To Do In Wichita", "Man In The Mirror", "Woman", "When You Love Her Like Crazy" and of course "Rollin' With The Flow".

I really liked this cd and I like Mark Chestnutt. The seller was good and on time.

This CD is another disappointment for me, just like his last CD, "Heard It in a Love Song." Too many songs are far too mellow. The brilliant album "Savin' the Honky Tonk" revived Chesnutt's career and was full of great honkytonk singing, including some excellent rowdy songs. The last two CDs are way too mellow and boring. "Rollin' with the Flow" is just plain dull.

I've loved Mark Chesnutt's music since I first heard the single "Too Cold at Home" many years ago. The CD of the same title, the fantastic follow-up, "Longnecks and Short Stories," "Wings," and "Savin'..." are by far his best material. It pains me to say that the rest of his CDs are actually very bland and mediocre. I hate to say it, but "Rollin' with the Flow" was a waste of money.

This is an excellent cd for country music fans! Why Mark Chesnutt isn't a superstar is beyond me. I have all but one of his cd's and this one is one of his best releases. A remake of "Rollin' With The Flow", a new hit "When You Love Her Like Crazy" are great along with an upbeat two-steppin' hit "Going On Later On". A can't miss and if you love country music, you should get this one!

Mark Chesnutt is truly one of the few country singers left not to cross over....he is pure unadulterated country. Rollin with the Flow is a perfect example of this genere.

A+++++ A great gift! My boyfriend loves country music and he was so excited to get this for Christmas!

This is a fine compilation of Mark's hits from 1990-1996. His biggest hits are here, although a few are left off. What is here is some of the best music played on mainstream country radio during the early 1990s. What sets Mark's music apart from that of his contemporaries is his excellent voice and his willingness to keep the music a bit more "country" and a bit less pop than most of his peers.

I can't give this CD 5 stars, though, because it is missing too many of Mark's hits. Chesnutt had 20 top ten hits throughout his career. This CD has only 12 tracks. So -- what is here is excellent, but this CD is missing a good bit.

This is a lousy "Greatest Hits" compilation. It fails to include the #1 I Just Wanted You Know, #3 Your Love Is A Miracle, among other top 5-10 hits meaning you'll still have to go through and buy the rest of the albums to truely have "the greatest hits". All together, Id say its missing about 6 tracks needed to be a true "Greatest Hits". It does include a couple of new songs and one is pretty good which is the only reason I can give this album two stars instead of one.

What can I say, it is the greatest hits. It lives up to it's name.

I have been looking for this CD for about a month or two. I finally found it and I love it in fact I downloaded it to my MP3 player and taking it everywhere I go. Love Mark Chestnut he is a true "country boy" and he hasn't sold out to the "in" crowd, dont get me wrong I love the "new" country ,but Old country is where it is. LOVE IT!!

This is one of the best albums I own, and I would recommend it to anyone. While several of his big hits are not on this album, plenty are, such as "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" and "Your Love is a Miracle," the latter of which is quite possibly my favorite Mark Chesnutt song. I think this album is a must-own for any country music fan. I think it is impressive.

Okay, so maybe Mark Chesnutt isn't as deserving of the title as, say, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, George Jones, or Waylon Jennings...but he's close! His music is pure country, plain and simple. And that's the way I like it!

This album contains all of his best singles, the ones we've come to know and love. "Too Cold At Home," "She Dreams," "Thank God For Believers," and the re-make of the Aerosmith hit "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" all add a softer, gentler side to the CD. "Brother Jukebox," "I'll Think of Something," "Your Love Is a Miracle," and "I Just Wanted You To Know" have a smooth, mediocre feel to them. Then come the honky-tonk rockers: "Bubba Shot The Jukebox" (okay, so it's a smooth, mediocre honky-tonk rocker); "It Sure Is Monday"; "Gonna Get a Life"; and "It's a Little Too Late" (penned by Chesnutt).

All-in-all, this album provides a variety of tunes, while keeping it all "Chesnutt Country". His voice is able to convey emotions, and dig straight to our hearts or feet, depending on the feel of the song. This is for you country fans; the ones that want a good, down-home feeling album to sit back and listen to.

You can't go wrong with Mark Chesnutt! I have yet to take it out of my CD player. His best songs are on here, including my favorites "Bubba Shot The Jukebox" and "It Sure Is Monday". The only complaint I have is the absence of "Going Through The Big D", which should not be much of a miss since radio is seeing a resurge of the song for some reason. Anyway, buy this CD, I'm glad I did!

This 1999 release is a far cry from Mark Chesnutt's more honky-tonk material ("Savin' the Honky Tonk," 2004), but for mainstream Nashville, the guy's got a great voice, and the songs are meant to please modern-country sensibilities. Every one of them is about love, love won, or love lost. It's Tim McGraw-Faith Hill material, especially the first cut, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

There's sweet nostalgia in "Tonight I'll Let My Memory Take Me Home" and a touch of Cajun in "Jolie." The guy is totally infatuated in "I'm Gone." And tough love takes a comic turn in "My Way Back Home." Only 10 great songs on this CD (and some are great for dancing), but the price is right. Comes with lyrics and some great publicity shots of the singer.

And to top it off, an Aerosmith cover? Gimme a break. Yet another country singer, picked by the Powers That Be in Nashville, to try crossover songs. Leave rock to rockers, and keep country in country.

You know what? Hank Williams Sr. would have never done an Aerosmith song. You know why? He wrote his OWN DAMN SONGS!

Anyways, I like alot of the other music Mr. Chesnutt has done. This one is just plain bland. Not enough taste for my Cajun buds. And kinda weak. I'll leave it for those who like it.

He's got one of the best voices in the business. 5 stars isn't enough praise to place on this album.

Dear Country fans,

Yup, he swept aerosmith away , and sang the best version of "Idon't wanna miss a thing. Great!

I just recently bought this CD, and it didn't dissappoint me in the least. Track one, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," is a great remake of the far inferior version done by Aerosmith. Track two, "This Heartache Never Sleeps," is my least favorite song on this disc, but it is still quite good. Track three, "My Way Back Home," is a humorous song in which Mark actually has to find his way back home because his woman took it. "I'll Get You Back" is a good song of redemption for any man or woman to the one they hurt. "That's The Way You Make An Ex" is one of the most humorous songs with a double meaning I've heard in a while. "Tonight I'll Let My Memory Take Me Home" is a great ballad about reflecting on one's past and revisiting it. "Jolie" is just a great up-tempo number. Monty Holmes did this song too, but I like this version more. "What Was You Thinkin'" is another neat song basically asking someone "Are you crazy" for letting love go. "I'm Gone" is another great up-tempo number. Then it ends with another great up-tempo number, "Let's Talk About Our Love." It's not as country as his previous efforts, but it is still quite good!

I love Mark Chesnutt... the tone of his voice is great - but this album is all baleful old boo-hoo songs. Not worth buying if you like fun songs such as "Bubba shot the jukebox" or "Going through the big D."

Blech.

The Most underrated man in cuontry.
A wonderful vocalist with great music played and sung well.
You can't beat this if you want hard core sound Texas country.

No one sings a honky tonk song better than Mark Chesnutt, but this CD doesn't make the cut. It would have been hard for him to top "Savin' the Honky Tonks," and this album doesn't come close. First of all, why are there only ten songs? And of the ten, why are a few previously released material? There's no excuse for a CD like this--only 10 songs and some of them old material. Thank God Mark Chesnutt is singing good old-fashioned honky tonk again, because he's the best in the business, but I still find this CD disappointing. I also can't agree with reviewer T.Yap "thy5468"'s pomposity. Who is he or she trying to impress?

At last, another album from one of the most self-assured honky-tonkers going, his first since SAVIN' THE HONKY TONK in 2004. This isn't quite as good an album as that one, but immortal albums only come about once in a great while.

This album is basically a bunch of old songs (some hits, some not) that Mark wraps his vocal cords around. The title tune, "Heard It In A Love Song", is a lame Marshall Tucker tune to which Chesnutt to gives a superior rendering. I consider it the weakest song on the album but Chesnutt makes it quite enjoyable

There is a nice mix of uptempo ("That Good That Bad") and slow ballads which are Chestnutt's specialty. I really liked his takes on the old Haggard-penned Charley Pride hit "A Shoulder To Cry On", the Hag's own "Goodbye Comes Hard For Me". and Hank Sr''s "Lost Highway.

Proving himself to be a George Jones fan of the first order (they come from the same town), Chesnutt tackles the George Jones obscurity "A Day In The Life of A Fool" , a very minor hit, almost never covered, from the early 70s. Mark isn't a George Jones (no one is), but his version is quite good.

This is just short of being a five star effort - I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if allowed fractional ratings

When I heard that Mark Chesnutt was finally back in studio working on an album I anxiously awaited its release and anticipated another excellent collection from the Boy from Beaumont. When the day finally came for release I was shocked to discover that virtually no retailer had stocked the album. When I asked about it I got blank looks from people. One even foolishly noted that Mark Chesnutt was a minor country performer. Weeks went by and no one, not Wal-Mart, not Target, not Best Buy--no one in my area--offered the album.

When I finally got my copy I wasn't disappointed. There was the familiar, smooth country voice and style that has made Chesnutt anything but a minor force in the world of country music. HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG is nothing short of masterful and a must have and must hear for any country music aficionado. Good luck finding a copy, though. Better just start with Amazon.

THE HORSEMAN

This is one of the great new-trad country discs. I still remember when Mark's first song "Too Cold At Home" played on the radio. It sounded like an old classic. He followed it up with one excellent single after another from "Brother Jukebox" to "Broken Promise Land." They're all here along with his version of "Friends In Low Places," recorded around the same time as Garth's. Chesnutt does not imitate Jones--the way Sammy Kershaw does--but he captures the same feeling.

Only four reviews of this CD? Sure, it came out 17 years ago, but this is near-classic country. When I first heard "Too Cold at Home" on the radio, I knew Mark Chesnutt was real country. As the years went by, he deviated down the path of pop country (and then returned a couple years ago with the great "Savin' the Honkytonks"), but this debut CD endures.

this album is good enough to memorize and keep close to you heart.

This is Marks first cd and its a good one let me tell you! It starts out with a real" Nashville" are you listening " COUNTRY " SONG Too cold at home itll make you wish you were in a bar Listening to this song drinking a cold one and saying the h-ll with her! The second song is a song another great singer recorded The late Keith Whitley its called Brother jukebox Mark does a really good job on this song.Its about a guy whos fighting of an ol" flame with the tunes off a jukebox and wine its a real good country song!Then Mark picks up the pace again with a little texas swing song Blame it on texas itll put you in the mood to cut the rug! Your love is a miracle is a song about a Guy finding true love and how he feels about finding this special love.Then if you want a song about the cheating life and what it feels like to live it then the Broken promise land is your song it tells it like it is .It tells about the cheater and the one being cheated no other song can say it better than this song so listen to this one before you think of cheating! Too good a memory another song about a guy who got hurt and remembers where hes been and dont want to be there again its a good little swinging song!Then theres Friends in low places Which was a hit For Garth Brooks Which i also like But this is just my opinion Marks version is more in depth than Garths. I like em both but i love Marks better!Then theres a great little song called lucky man its about this man whos going through a lot of turmoil but,he counts his blessings and considers himself a lucky man to have a good girl like the one he has.Hey you there in the mirrior is a kinda humorous song about a guy looking at himself in the mirror and seeing the mess the girl who broke his heart made of him.Then he finds new love looks in the mirror again and sees a new man and as the song says he comes back to life!Then the last song Danger at my door is a song about an ol" flame showing back up and wanting another chance but, he remembers how its always ended up when he let her come back and hes fighting his feelings and trying to get her to go home! Over all every song on this cd is good a lot of times you buy a cd and get a lot of songs that arent all that good there just there to have a complete set of songs to sell the cd thats not the case with this cd to me anyway.I think if you dont have this one its definitely one you should add to your cds .Its truly one of Marks best give it a listen i guarantee you will like it if you like Traditional country music with that western swing feel then this is the Man for you If you put this one on it wont be too cold at home Somebody may feel like dancing too a few of these tunes and slow dancing to others.Well ,i dont know what else to say just get it and let ol"Mark show ya" how its done!

This album is a pure classic. No-filler and nothin but well sung and well crafted country music. It was impossible for Mark to top.It is without argument his best.Too cold at home is one heck of a classic country song.

I bought this CD the day it came out in 1992 (a couple days before my wedding, which is how I remember). It is almost certainly Mark Chesnutt's best CD; it's full of real country. My favorite songs are "It's Not Over" and "I'm Not Getting Any Better at Goodbyes." Those songs still give me chills, and the only way they could be better would be if George Jones were singing them.

"I'll Think of Something" makes this CD worth every penny. There are other good slow songs on here,too, but about half are upbeat or honky tonk.

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.

Longnecks and Short Stories is Mark Chesnutt's very best. Classic country western sounds by one of the greatest voices in the business.

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".

This is one of Mark's better CDs, but the singles didnt do well on radio (no top 5 hits, and only "It Wouldn't Hurt To Have Wings" made the top ten). Its an under-appreciated CD.

Fans who like Mark's other work but wish for a little less polished sound will love this. Its a cut above the typical Nashville release.

For fans new to Mark Chesnutt, this is not the place to go. His "Greatest Hits" or "Longnecks and Short Stories" CDs are his best.

He had been building up to this for a while. This is a spectactular relese. Every song is a winner. The highlights are too many to mention. You can't go wrong buying this, unless you have no musical taste...

this has to marks worst album how could he get worse he totally does not do what ive come to expect from him he had 1 top 10 it wouldnt hurt to have wings and then he also had 2 top 25 hits which were trouble and wrong place at the wrong time so he just wasnt up to par

I think Mark Chesnutt is one of the best singers in country music. His CD ALMOST GOODBYE is evidence of that, and the playing on the CD, as always, is well done and highly professional, though largely lacking innovation or inspiration.
So what's the remaining variable? The songs - if they're not good it really doesn't make any difference how good the other factors are. And the songs on ALMOST GOODBYE are for the most part generic mediocrities.
I really like "I Just Wanted You To Know" and "My Heart's Too Broke", and "Sensuous Woman" is a nicely done as a shuffle. "It Sure Is Monday" and "I Just Wanted You To Know" are pleasant enough if somewhat lightweight and overwrought respectively.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, "April Fool" and "Vickie Vance Gotta Dance" are boring, non-descript or worse, pop country. I guarantee that nobody who hears "Vickie" will care if he ever hears it again.
And finally "The Will" is one of the most stylized, most saccherine, and most irritating songs you will hear. The family is sitting in the lawyer's office for the reading of Daddy's will. Daddy of course leaves the family name to the boys, some other hogwash to the girls, etc., at which point Mama announces that she needs to pray. Just have your insulin ready.
The players on this CD are well known outstanding musicians, and their lack of inspiration may well have come from the quality of the songs they were asked to play. And Chesnutt is in great voice as always. Their talents are largely wasted on this CD.

Mark Chesnutt is a great singer! I liked the fast service I received from this seller!

I'm a originally a turkish women who loves very much American Country Music.
Mark Chesnutt is the best artist in the country music. His amazing
voice and style make me listen his music over and over again.
I love him so much. For about three years in a row I went to his concert.He is an exceptional,fantastic musician. God Bless him,his family and his band.

Mark Chessnut he is a very talented singer when it comes to country music then let me tell you this ol" boy can sing it!!!I have been listening to his music since he first arrived on the scene .From the time i first heard him sing to cold at home i said he is gonna be a star well, that prediction proved true!!!The song went to number 1 and so did everything else he released after that almost!!! I cant say that this cd is my favorite of his i dont think i can pick one but, i think if you listen to him and you like real true country music then you will want to hear more of this man!!!Almost goodbye is a good cd it starts out with a good song about partying to hard and having to go to work the next day and just how it feels to party to hard its called it sure is monday. The second song is ok it is called woman sensous woman its about a guy whos deep in love with his girl he even goes so far as to say you control the world im living in.Then theres the title track it will chill you to the bone when you hear Mark put his personal touch to the song and the guitar is awesome its a song about those little lover spats that almost ended with goodbye! I just wanted you to know is a well written song although Mark didnt write it he sang it very well and Took you to where the man in the song was in pain and living with a memory. Aprils fool is about a guy whos fell in love with a girl and she played with his heart and in the end he was left being another of Aprils Fools!!!Texas is bigger than it used to be is just a good texas honky tonk dance floor song itll make you wish you were Two stepping across a hard wood floor with thick smoke dim lights and loud music!!! My hearts to broke to pay attention tells a story of a man getting hurt to where hes got good looking women all around him and hes afraid of taking a chance with em because of how he was hurt.Vickie vance gotta dance is ok its not one of my favorites on this cd though!!!Till a better memory comes along is another one of those songs where the man was left hurting and afraid of trying at love again great song about breaking up!Then last but not least is the song the will i personally think this is a song everyone should hear especially when it comes to the death of a loved one and wills and whats left behind for the survivors The song says it all! It tell a story about a loved one dieng and the family reading the will of their last wishes.I got a little choked up i must say .Mark in my opinion is one of Nashvilles best and doesnt get the credit he deserves Well , i really dont know what else to say i havent already said give Mark a listen i guarantee itll be worth the time and money.As long as Mark is around country is in good hands After listening and you want more then go pick up his new cd Its self titled Mark Chessnut and it has his new song She was on it Only one thing to say that describes Mark "Country"!!!!!

I Like This CD Because it has my Favorite songs on it. I Like The Ballad Almost Goodbye. When You Think of a day like monday It Reminds you of It Sure Is Monday. I Like that song. I Just wanted you to know is also my favorite song.

Its the first time I ever bought a record by Marc Chesnutt and it was only for the theme "Thank God for Beleivers".

i love this cd. it was great to listen to. but i can't find it anywhere. the radio station said that the company went out of business. so where can i get this cd?

This is a great album. It has lots of great songs such as "Thank God For Believers" as well a my personal favorite "Wherever You Are." He can also crank out a good up-tempo tune like "I Might Even Quit Lovin' You." A great all-around album. Keep it coming, Mark!

This is very simple: if you want to hear great honky-tonk country music, buy this CD, and all the rest of Mark Chesnutt's music.

Chesnutt is one of those extraordinary vocal artists who exemplifies the very fabric of country music, and particularly the dialect that hails from Texas. The title track of this album is a hallmark of the trade, painting vividly the human condition: pain, hope, love, faith, and all the shades of emotion between. This album is another treat from a master of the genre!
