Cody ChesnuTT made two great soul albums ten years apart. The first was the modestly titled "The Headphone Masterpiece" which came out in 2002. It was a reasonable claim. We had to wait another ten years for the next masterpiece, "Landing On A Hundred". That is the one today's selections come from.
CC - as his friends used to call him until that name was trademarked by a famously litigious Caledonian blogger - released his third album "My Love Divine Degree" in 2017 but hasn't been heard of since. Whatever he is up to I hope he is keeping well.

Other Chesnut(t)s are available. Jerry only had one T and didn't feel the need to capitalise it, but he wrote three classic songs. Well two classic songs and one that has the same name as a classic Leiber and Stoller song, both of which were performed by that Elvis (hence my confusion). Many thanks to Spence for pointing out my error.
I think you've mixed up your Troubles there. Elvis' Trouble that Gillan covers was written by Lieber and Stoller. The Jerry Chestnut song Elvis covers is T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Two different songs. I'm a Vic Chesnutt fan meself.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! How very foolish of me. I will replace the Gillan clip with one of Elvis so this exchange will make no sense to any future readers.
DeleteI'm also partial to a bit of Vic and was lucky enough to see him once, but he has been seen here before so I opted for Jerry instead.
