Showtime for Chesney tour

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 – Making changes up until the last note was played on Monday, Kenny Chesney closed out his final Nashville rehearsal for the Brother's of the Sun Tour, with Chesney and Tim McGraw.

Kicking off in Tampa on June 2, Chesney shares the stage with longtime friend McGraw. "We hadn't even finished last year's tour when we started working on this year, and what we visualized nine months ago is a reality today," Chesney said.

In front of a small crowd of friends and members of the music industry, Chesney put final touches on his show, tweaking everything from the timing of video clips and color saturation to sound mix and instrumentation. Chesney also chatted informally with the crowd, sharing stories behind the songs and past tours.

"It's the fans that make this all happen and we're ready to let this show loose on you," said Chesney. "We're rehearsed and our bags are packed, so get your tailgating ready and we'll see you in the parking lots and in the stadiums all summer long."

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 ...
