It was great to see Mark and Tracy sing their duet together, "A Good Way To Get On My Bad Side." After this, they both left, then Mark came back for an encore. He said he had always wanted to sing the next song, but there was never the right time to do it. He said now was the right time, and he sang a beautiful version of "Dixie."

Some of the things I remember from the show... Mark asked if anyone was from Austin. A few people cheered, and he said, "This next one's for you. It's what you call a story song." From what I can figure, Mark must sing this song in concert a lot, because many of the fans knew the song and they shouted out "Beer... Bait... and Ammo." The song isn't on any of Mark's album's that I can see, but I have included a sound clip from his website that you can download that is a short MP3 file of the song. It's a lot of fun to listen and sing along with. I sure hope Mark finds a label soon. I miss hearing new music from him.
After he sang "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" his band came out with different instruments, such as a saxophone and I think trumpet. Mark said that being from Texas, he was a big fan of Bob Wills, and if Bob Wills were alive, he thinks that this is what he would sound like. They then played "Jump, Jive an' Wail," which is a song by Brian Setzer. They did a great job on it.
Again, if you are into traditional country music, Mark Chesnutt is as country as they come. He mixes a little rock and swing in with his music, and is a real treat to watch live. If you get a chance, make sure and check him out when he's in your area.
