What happens to his music when a Mississippi singer/songwriter moves to Kentucky? If you're Chet Lott, you create a unique sound that blends blues and country.

We spoke with Chet at his Bourbon County farm as well as join him in the studio in Lexington. Chet works closely with former Exile star JP Pennington. His CD Wild Ride features Chet on guitar and harmonica, JP on guitar, piano, keyboard, mandolin and harmony vocals, Dwight Dunlap on drums and percussion, and Ray Salyer on bass. Chet and JP collaborated on several songs, including the CD's title song, "Wild Ride," as well as "Paint Dem Toenails" and "On My Way to Paris"—that's in Bourbon County, of course.

He hasn't forgotten his Deep South roots. Through sales of his CD Erased It, Chet has donated more than $125,000 to the Southeast Chapter of the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief.
