Editor's note

Mark Chesnutt, the Beaumont bar singer turned country hitmaker

A Texas voice that found its way from local honky-tonks to number-one country hits in the 1990s.

For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Brother Jukebox' or 'Goin' Through The Big D.' They're both just solid country songs, no more and no less.

Chesnutt's early MCA years gave country radio songs like 'Brother Jukebox,' a number-one hit from the 1992 album 'Longnecks & Short Stories.' His catalog includes 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' and 'Goin' Through The Big D,' songs that stick to straightforward country storytelling without much fuss. That plainspoken delivery made him a reliable presence on 90s playlists.

He started singing in Beaumont bars before signing with MCA in 1990 and releasing 'Too Cold at Home.' The 1990s brought albums like 'Almost Goodbye' and 'What a Way to Live,' then a break after struggles with alcoholism. He returned with a self-titled album in 2002 and has spoken about staying sober since a 2005 DUI.

Archive material and source history

Mark Chesnutt came out of Beaumont, Texas, singing in local bars before signing with MCA Records in 1990. His debut album was called 'Too Cold at Home.' He found his footing with the 1992 album 'Longnecks & Short Stories,' which included the number-one country hit 'Brother Jukebox.'

Through the 1990s, he released albums like 'Almost Goodbye' and 'What a Way to Live.' One of his songs from that period, 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing,' appears among his most popular tracks. He also recorded 'Oughta Miss Me By Now' and 'She Dreams.'

In the late 1990s, Chesnutt dealt with alcoholism and took a break from recording. He returned in 2002 with a self-titled album. A 2005 DUI arrest led him to seek treatment, and he has spoken about staying sober since.
