"Lucky Old Sun" starts rising today for Kenny Chesney

Tuesday, September 23, 2008 – With the release of Kenny Chesney's "Lucky Old Sun" nearly a month away, eager fans can get a head start on Sept. 23 with iTunes' "Countdown To Kenny Chesney's Lucky Old Sun" when one track from the new album will be made available every week leading up to release.

Nowhere To Go, Nowhere To Be will be out today followed by Key's In The Conch Shell on Sept. 30 and Spirit Of A Storm on Oct. 7. The purchase of each track will count toward the cost of the album purchased on iTunes through its Complete My Album feature.

With the single Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, sitting at number 2, "Lucky Old Sun" rises on Oct. 14 and its deluxe package will give fans access to downloads of the animated opening from this year's Corona Extra Poets & Pirates Tour as well as the Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven video featuring The Wailers. The deluxe package features extra songs including Boston, a song Chesney wrote with his tour production assistant Mark Tamburino and Got A Little Crazy from the Gillette Stadium show in Foxboro, Mass., and Soul Of A Sailor and Guitars And Tiki Bars from Margaritaville in Key West. The music only edition will be available Oct. 21.

Now, life's purpose is described as much more internal than external. Call it trading that pirate flag for a little more mindfulness. ...
CD review - Songs for the Saints Kenny Chesney's "Song for the Saints" is a step in the right direction for the popular country star.
