Kenny Chesney to release new cd Nov 8th

Post by a1aara »

July 6, 2005: Kenny Chesney may have released an album in January and tied the knot as well, but the country superstar can't be accused of slowing down.
Come Nov. 8, Chesney will have a new album out, "The Road & The Radio."
Final tracking on the disc was just finished by Chesney and co-producer Buddy Cannon.
In January, Chesney released the introspective "Be As You Are: Songs From An Old Blue Chair." Last year, Chesney put out "When the Sun Goes Down," the quadruple platinum Country Music Association Album of the Year featuring three multiple week number one songs "There Goes My Life," the Uncle Kracker duet title track and "Anything But Mine."
"We've been keeping plenty busy," Chesney said in a press release. "But I think by now everybody knows, not a day goes by that I'm not thinking about the music. And it seemed like we started looking for songs almost as soon as Sun dropped...and we got to hear some pretty great stuff, too."
The title track - about seeking one's truth behind the wheel with the radio as one's truest companion - was written by Chesney.
"You know," said Chesney, "when I looked at what my life was and how it is, there are a few things that have remained constant. You can find your answers out on the road -- or listening to the radio, and it's certainly the way I've always lived my life. Touring around and listening to the story people tell me about the songs I've cut, I realize a lot of other people live their life between the white lines and the grooves in the road, too."
Chesney wrote three songs for his new project.
"After Be As You Are, it made me realize how much of yourself you can invest in a record," said Chesney. "You don't realize how specific in your life can be exactly the specific stuff in other people's lives... and in that, it made me challenge myself to go deeper. I wrote some of the songs that ended up on 'When The Sun Goes Down' because I needed to say certain things... Everything about 'The Road & The Radio' is about that, which made the process harder, but also more fulfilling in a strange way
