Me and You (Kenny Chesney album)

Me and You is the third album released by country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released in 1996. Although its lead-off single "Back in My Arms Again" failed to make Top 40, the album's title track and "When I Close My Eyes" both reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in 1996. The title track was reprised from Chesney's previous album. "Back Where I Come From" is a cover of Mac McAnally's 1990 single from his album Simple Life, while "When I Close My Eyes" had been recorded by Restless Heart lead singer Larry Stewart on his 1993 debut album Down the Road, and by Keith Palmer before that. "It's Never Easy To Say Goodbye" had been recorded by singer Wynonna Judd on her eponymous debut album.

Me and You (Egg Hunt song)

The single record "Me and You", also known as Egg Hunt and 2 Songs, is the first and only stand-alone release by the American experimental post-hardcore duoEgg Hunt.

Overview

Egg Hunt's only output, a piece of "experimental, post-hardcore" music, is notable for its flip side, "We All Fall Down", a "post-punk melodic masterpiece", originally written by Ian MacKaye for his earlier band, Embrace, which discarded the song. Although seemingly a small release in comparison to Dischord's significant catalog, this record is still a notable sample of MacKaye and Jeff Nelson's songwriting abilities, as well as their chemistry together as artists.

Background

Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt was a one-off musical experiment of long time friends and musicians Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, former singer and drummer, respectively, of the hardcore punk band Minor Threat, and Dischord Records co-founders. During a 1986 trip to London to discuss possible European distribution of Dischord releases with Southern Studios, its owner, John Loder, invited them to do, just for fun, some recording while they were there. They recorded four songs in three days, and they liked the results so much that they decided to release a two-song single to commemorate the occasion. They dubbed it "Egg Hunt", since they recorded it over Easter weekend.
