Chesney reaches Crossroads with Steve Miller

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 – Steve Miller will celebrate the release of his new album "BINGO!" by sharing the stage with longtime friend Kenny Chesney on CMT's hit show Crossroads. Performing each others' songs and sharing stories on the popular series, the two icons filmed the show in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium.

The show will air Friday, July 9 at 10 p.m. Eastern. Songs featured in the hour-long episode will include Miller's classics such as The Joker and Abracadabra, along with You Got Me Dizzy from the new CD. The performance will also include Chesney hits Living In Fast Forward and I Go Back.

"From the first time Kenny invited me to play with him in San Francisco at AT&T Park, until this minute he has been a refreshing and wonderful friend," Miller said. "I love the way he conducts himself, treats his band, crew, fans, and friends. Artists this busy barely have time for saying hello, yet Kenny takes the time to get to know you and shares himself. That is a very rare and endearing quality. He is a great performer, a great writer, and a great guy to roll with. He's the real deal."

CD review - Here and Now For many years now, Kenny Chesney has been the number one yacht country artist; one never spotted far from an ocean or without an adult beverage in his hand. However, this album's title track expresses a much deeper perspective on life. "I must've sat on a dozen islands/Watched the sun sink into the sea." Previously, island living was the reason for life. 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. Inspired by the Hurricane Irma disaster, which hit Chesney personally as it destroyed a house he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, these songs are more serious and heartfelt than typical Chesney music. Best of all is "Love for Love City," a reggae duet with Ziggy Marley incorporating steel drums into an inviting island mix. It's followed by a cover of Lord ...
