Cody ChesnuTT - The Headphone Masterpiece (2002)

Cody ChesnuTT (who emphasizes on having the 2 T's at the end of his name capitalized) is definitely one of the best new (general) acoustic acts out there. I originally heard and fell in love with him and his voice when I heard his song with The Roots, "The Seed (2.0)" from their album Phrenology. "The Seed (2.0)" is a remake of the original Cody ChesnuTT song "The Seed" (on this album), with him singing on it, with the 2.0 to distinguish it from the original version. His debut double LP (and only full-length) album, The Headphone Masterpiece, introduces Cody's very earthy and smooth sounding sound, blending elements of 60's/70's rock, funk, soul, hip-hop, R&B, and blues. If you're in the mood for some new, inspiring, earthy music, you will love his album. I also put "The Seed (2.0)" down there for download, if you want it. Just chill out and listen to some Cody ChesnuTT!
