Where has Cody ChesnuTT been? The guitarist who was once primed to be the next great soul artist tells us that he has been saved by the Lord, and swaps the raunchy funk 'n' blues of 2002's The Headphone Masterpiece for redemptive throwback soul. "I used to smoke crack back in the day ... now I'm teaching kids in Sunday school," he sings on "Everybody's Brother." His spiritual growth leads him to regret his past, and he tells his son "Don't Follow Me," while mourning American narcissism on "What Kind of Cool (Will We Think of Next)." Through it all, his honesty is his saving grace.
Cody ChesnuTT "Everybodys Brother" (live): South Park Sessions
Cody ChesnuTT's gospel-tinged soul epic Landing on a Hundred was one of our favorite records of last year; here, in an exclusive performance live from a lovely park near our San Francisco office, he offers a one-man take on "Everybody's Brother," certainly the sweetest tune to ever begin with the line "I used to smoke crack back in the day." Enjoy.
