Chesnutt first played drums as a child after receiving a drum kit as a Christmas gift, but at his father’s persuasion, he stopped playing drums and chose to focus on singing instead. He dropped out of school in the eleventh grade to begin playing in clubs around southeast Texas. When he turned 17, his father began to take him to Nashville, Tennessee, to begin recording. For the next ten years, he began to record on small regional labels while he was the house band for local Beaumont nightclub Cutters. By the late 1980s, he had released eight singles, which would later be released together as an album titled Doing My Country Thing. Record producer Tony Brown heard one of Chesnutt’s independent releases, and recommended him to Mark Wright, a songwriter, session musician, and record producer who helped Chesnutt sign with the Nashville branch of MCA Records in 1990.

Chesnutt’s musical style draws mainly from honky-tonk and neotraditional country. Due to both singers hailing from Beaumont, Chesnutt was frequently compared stylistically to George Jones. Jack Hurst of the Chicago Tribune wrote that he was “a throwback to the inwardly-tough, just-do-it kind of country star they were making back when they minted George Jones, who preceded Chesnutt out of the rough-and-tumble East Texas honky-tonks 40 years ago.” Nash described Chesnutt’s vocal style by saying that he “has a comely, smooth baritone and a supple way of moving through his vocal range”, and a “friendly foghorn” with “earnestness”. Rick Mitchell, writing in The Encyclopedia of Country Music, described Chesnutt as “arguably the strongest pure-country voice to come out of Southeastern Texas since George Jones”, and an uncredited review in People said that Chesnutt “has a natural, George Jonesian sob and enough machismo to get away with going falsetto when he wants.” Chesnutt has cited Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley as major influences of his. Mitchell also noted that Chesnutt was able to have success with both ballads and uptempo material such as “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” and “Old Flames Have New Names”, as well as the strong presence of cover songs from the 1950s and 1960s. Some of his songs, such as “It Sure Is Monday” and “Gonna Get a Life”, have featured influences of Cajun music through prominent use of fiddle and accordion.

Chesnutt’s second album, 1992’s Longnecks & Short Stories, also earned a platinum certification. In order of release, its singles were “Old Flames Have New Names”, “I’ll Think of Something”, “Bubba Shot the Jukebox”, and “Ol’ Country” (also written by Harden). “I’ll Think of Something”, previously a single for Hank Williams Jr. in 1974, became Chesnutt’s second number-one single on Billboard in 1992. The album included many of the same session musicians as its predecessor, along with guest vocals from George Jones on “Talkin’ to Hank”, and both Alison Krauss and Vince Gill on “It’s Not Over”. The latter was originally recorded by Reba McEntire, while the closing track “Who Will the Next Fool Be?” was originally recorded by Charlie Rich. Chesnutt noted in a 1992 news article in The Tennessean that “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” (written by Dennis Linde) had been released as a single due to high demand from fans, and that he was pleased to have recorded a duet with Jones, whom he considered a musical idol. He also noted that “Bubba Shot the Jukebox” had been serviced “as a joke” by Nashville song promoters and was not taken seriously by other artists, but he felt that the song had potential. Mansfield wrote in AllMusic that the album “heralded the emergence of a Texas voice that contained both the knack for humor… and the depth for heartache”. Nash praised the song variety, highlighting the singles and “It’s Not Over” in particular, but felt that Chesnutt’s voice was “a little too laid back”.
