Chesney hangs at ESPN
Monday, September 27, 2010 – Kenny Chesney, whose new album "Hemingway's Whiskey" (BNA Records) is out Sept. 28, will spend today at ESPN's studios in Bristol, Conn. He'll primarily be talking about football, the inspiration for his Boys of Fall documentary about the passion of football and life lessons learned on the field. The "Boys of Fall" documentary debuted on ESPN in August and airs again on ESPN 2 on tonight at 7 p.m. eastern. Chesney's current single is also entitled The Boys of Fall.
At ESPN, Chesney will appear live on SportsCenter, Sports Nation, ESPNU and other shows. He will tape appearances on NFL Live and CFB Live and will do a live chat on ESPN.com. "Growing up in East Tennessee, football was a way of life. In Knoxville, at the University of Tennessee, the whole town just wraps its arms around them," he said.
Chesney, a wide receiver in high school, said, "That's where I first learned how to work really hard - on the football field."

CD reviews for Kenny Chesney
After a storied run including eight Entertainer of the Year awards and two Greatest Hits albums (so far), Kenny Chesney was due for a setback. This one wasn't strictly personal, as the "Chillaxification" Tour got waylaid by a pandemic shutdown that scrapped most everything. The loss really belonged to the fans, as the original "Here and Now" record Chesney was supporting was a beauty – from the stirring "Knowing You" to the snarky "Wasted", ...
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. ...
Kenny Chesney's "Song for the Saints" is a step in the right direction for the popular country star.
