Chesney goes to number one
The song is the third straight number one from "Hemingway's Whiskey' (BNA).
Chesney revealed more good news - his 2011 Corona Presents Kenny Chesney's "Goin' Coastal" Tour sold out his third night at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in 10 minutes on Friday.
"I'm going to keep reminding people through music that you've got to love life, and you've got to live it, and you can't work all the time," said Chesney. "And I look at myself in the mirror and say that every single day. And I hope to think I'm getting a little better at it. You've got to 'Live A Little.'"
The Red Rocks show marks the first time Chesney will play the Colorado venue, and the first time in five years he's performed at any venue more than twice on a tour.
For the recently-added show on July 8, Chesney invited Grace Potter to join the bill. She duets with him on Me and Tequila on the new CD.

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. 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 ...
