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

Probably his best CD Aug 20, 2007
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.

Should have made him a superstar!!! May 05, 2004
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.

MY FAVORITE CHESNUTT Sep 04, 2003
Longnecks and Short Stories is Mark Chesnutt's very best. Classic country western sounds by one of the greatest voices in the business.

One of my favorites Jun 28, 2000
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".
