I put Mark Chesnutt’s new CD “Rollin’ With The Flow” on this week at home and fell in love!  Mark has done it again - this is country music at it’s best.   There are really too many good songs, so I’ll list them all!  Don’t miss out on this one! 

Rollin’ With The Flow track list:

1.  Things to Do in Wichita - a cathcy update of the Statler Brother’s “Flowers on the Wall”. 

2.  When You Love Her Like Crazy

3.  Rollin’ With The Flow - Mark made this 1977 Charlie Rich classic his own.

4.  Going on Later On

5.  Live to Be 100 - lists all the things a modern man has been told to give up, such as cigars, alcohol, burgers, fries, sugar and salt. 

6.  When I Get This Close to You - turn out the lights, push back the furniture and pull her up close.  

7.  (Come On In) The Whiskey’s Fine - Mark’s next release to radio.  Hear it on the KMLE!

8.  If the Devil Brought You Roses -

9.  Woman -

10. Man in the Mirror - a song about Mark’s father.

11.  Long Way to Go - Chesnutt writes of his first meeting with Waylon Jennings and the advice the veteran gave to the budding star.

12. She Never Got Me Over You - The last song written by legendary Keith Whitley, Mark really connects with Whitley’s lyrics of unrequited loss, offering up an understated but tremendously emotional vocal.

“Chesnutt sounds effortless as he roams over his country influences, never imitating, but always tipping his hat.”  AngryCountry.com
