Longnecks & Short Stories

Longnecks & Short Stories is the third studio album by American country music artist Mark Chesnutt. It was released in 1992 on MCA Records, and like its predecessor Too Cold at Home, it was certified platinum in the United States for sales of one million copies. Four singles were released from this album, all of which were Top Ten hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Old Flames Have New Names" (#5), "I'll Think of Something" (#1), "Bubba Shot the Jukebox" and "Ol' Country" (both #4).

"I'll Think of Something" was originally a Top Ten country hit in 1974 for Hank Williams, Jr., who recorded it on his album Living Proof. In addition, "It's Not Over (If I'm Not over You)" was originally recorded by Vern Gosdin on his 1982 album Passion. Chesnutt later included the song on his 1997 album Thank God for Believers, releasing it as a single from that album in 1998. "Uptown, Downtown (Misery's All the Same)", was originally recorded by Ray Price, as a 1984 single known as "Better Class of Losers". "Who Will the Next Fool Be?" was originally recorded by its writer, Charlie Rich, as a single released in 1961.
