Mark Chesnutt is one of Country’s
biggest names. He is also that rare thing of being liked by the critics and fans alike and with 14 number one hits, 23 top ten singles, four platinum albums and fi ve gold records, he is an artist who does not need further introduction! He admits himself: “It’s the music
and the fans that have kept me around this long.” His brand of Country is fi rmly
traditional, taking you to the wide open spaces and the blue skies often associated to this type of music but he is also a man of substance. His songs are easily accessible to all, hummable and yet deeply felt. Mark Chesnutt started getting a
name for himself as a honky tonk singer in the 1990’s. He is the son of a regional Texas star Bob Chesnutt and so, music has always been an important factor in his life. Learning to play guitar at fi ve was as normal for him as a baby’s fi rst steps and he began performing with his father in his late teens.
Bob Chesnutt often went to Nashville
to make a name for himself and he naturally took his son along when young. That is when it all really started for Mark. Executives started to take notice of this new young artist and in 1989 he was signed to MCA Nashville. The rest is history. It took just one single, ‘Too Cold
At Home’, to get him known and he won the CMA Horizon Award. At the awards, George Jones introduced him as “A boy from Beaumont, Texas who is the real deal.” This opened the national door to stardom and the singer’s dedication payed off with a huge fan base in no time. He became one of the most played
country singers on radios with hits ‘Bubba Shot The Jukebox’, ‘I’ll Think Of Something’, ‘Brother Jukebox’, ‘Blame It On Texas’, ‘Old Flames Have New Names’, ‘Old Country’, ‘Almost Goodbye’, ‘I Just Wanted You To Know’, ‘Going Through The Big D’, ‘Gonna Get A Life’ and one of his biggest, ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’, a song that held its position at the
top of the charts for four consecutive weeks. Mark Chesnutt has since gone from
strength to strength and this collection is a timely reminder of why he is such a popular artist. With its 30 songs this brand new
‘Mark Chesnutt The Ultimate Collection’ containing the complete singles from 1990 to 2000 is an absolute joy and a treat for anyone who likes Country sounds. Make no mistake, this is one of the best Country albums you could ever wish to add to your collection or someone else’s. Though it could be argued that
already own most of
true Country fans may those songs,
it is always wonderful to have all the big hits in one single collection. As for those who may not know that much about this amazing artist, this collection is certainly the best way to introduce them to what amounts to a
true legend of
Country. The perfect Christmas present!
