Hot damn, it's enough to make me forgive that horrible Diane Warren number. Well, almost. And of course we all know who did it first.g ("Pride's," not the Warren tune.) Of course. And anyone thinkin' of dippin' into Chesnutt's catalog could do worse than pickin' up his Wings album, where you'll not only find the song mentioned above, but lots of other hardcore honkytonkers. Hell, Smilin' Jim might even like it.g Anyway, it's much better than his latest. Sad but true; I count two good songs on the new one, and that's being generous ("That's The Way You Make An Ex" makes it by any standard). Chesnutt is, in my opinion, an awesome talent, and it's sad to see him cranking out so many pop-country throwaways; when he does what he ought to do, like "Pride's," or "Ex," or "Too Cold At Home," or "That Side Of Me," there's hardly anyone can touch him.

Indeedy. Unfortunately, the new one's probably his best-seller in quite awhile (maybe even ever), which means we may be getting more of the same on his next one. Then again, maybe he's thinkin' the label will cut him some slack after this one, and he can get back to the hard stuff.--don

Wings! Yeah. Paul McCartney's somethin', isn't he? haha. Did anyone see the VH1 Rock Hall of Fame inductions, when his daughter came up and they fuzzed out her shirt - I guess the shirt said "It's About Fucking Time" referring to the fact that it took them too long to induct her daddy as a solo artist.
