Chesney: "thrilled" with Grammy nominations
It all worked out because the song received two Grammy nominations - Best Country Dou/Group Performance and Best Country Song. The music video for the gold-certified single won for Video Of The Year last month at the CMA Awards.
"Thrilled," said Chesney about the nominations. "As a songwriter, I'm always happy to see great songs get their due, and I'm happy for Matraca and Deana that this song is getting the respect it deserves. I'm also thrilled to have recorded this song with Grace Potter who is so talented and be a part of her first Grammy nomination."
Chesney will hit the road with Tim McGraw this summer for the Brothers of the Sun Tour, which will feature stadium shows at venues across the country including Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, Dallas' Cowboys Stadium, Detroit's Ford Field and New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. Special guests will be Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and Jake Owen.
Tickets for the Dallas, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, East Rutherford, Detroit and Foxboro, Mass. shows will go on sale Saturday, Dec. 3 through Ticketmaster. On-sale info for the remaining dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

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 ...
