BIO OF THE WEEK

Kenny Chesney Source: http://www.kennychesney.com     "I grew up in a very small town, went to a small elementary, then high school - and got to play football as a starter. I skinny dipped and fished in a lake, had my heart broken by my high school girlfriend. I`ve lived like a lot of guys listening to my music live? And I think that`s why people buy my records, because they can relate to the guy singing those songs: They feel like the songs are about their lives, because they`re about my life - and I`m not all that different from them, even now." Kenny Chesney, the pride of Luttrell, Tennessee, is actually quite a bit different. With back-to-back double platinum records for Everywhere We Go and Greatest Hits, multiple week chart-toppers and career definers with "I Lost It," "How Forever Feels," "Don`t Happen Twice," "She Thinks My Tractor`s Sexy" and "Fall In Love," the launch of his first true major headlining tour, he`s the Everyguy who proves that dreams can come true. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems finds Kenny Chesney again holding a mirror up to himself -- and all the folks back where he comes from. If the 12 songs contained herein are a little older, a little wiser, a little more aware, they still capture the unbridled joy being young, life lived for the pure feeling of it and the unburnished emotions of people who prefer to experience rather than analyze what`s happening to them. From the opening notes of "Young," a song that celebrates the thrill of all the things you can do before you know what you can`t -- tempered by the acceptance that comes with the wisdom of being grown, No Shoes is a record that looks at the phases of youth coming into their own. Whether it`s the haunted yearning of the Conway-esque "I Remember," the tortured understanding of Bruce Springsteen`s conflict of faithlessness and jagged hearts "One Step Up," the make-it-happen-in-spite-of-those-who-say-you-can`t feel-good anthem "Big Star" or the tropicali attitude adjustment that informs the title track, Chesney understands the phases and stages of growing up, the thrill of football and falling in love, the pain of loss and regrets. "I think I was strong enough to put more of myself in these songs. . . because it`s scary to put yourself out there like this," the man deemed "Country`s Hottest Bachelor" by Country Weekly confesses. "To show people your doubts, your hurts, and even your mistakes, to be willing to show people that part of yourself, the part that`s so human and raw and aching - well, it`s the hardest thing about this. "But if you truly have the audience I believe I do, then you owe them that. After all, I can`t imagine giving them less than the truth -- and since the last album, I lived a lot of life and learned a lot of lessons. It`s all here, if you listen." "Regrets are the one thing I believe most people live with in one way or another," Chesney allows. "Everybody lives with it, because we all have times in our life when we didn`t take the extra step, didn`t go out on that limb -- whether it was asking that one girl out or standing up for something we believed in. Whatever it is? so, you wonder what if? And you wonder what it would have felt like. "To me, we should live our lives to experience it all, to seek happiness, to be the things we believe in. But it`s scary, that sense of getting hurt? so what did we pass up? And that is the real tragedy, far worse than the longing for what wasn`t. It`s what drew me to `A Lot of Things Different` from the first line. "You know, `I`d`ve spent a lot more time in the pouring rain without an umbrella, covering my head?` is almost like what it feels like to be chasing your dreams. Being out on the road sometimes, you feel like an astronaut, rolling in your own little world, going to another town -- totally disconnected from anything resembling a normal life. You hit that stage, though, and you see those people, hear them connecting with your life, seeing their lives in these songs -- and you remember why. "I think people realize that. I`m not so different from them, they hear it in the songs -- and I`m like their buddy. You know, it`s not a bad way to make friends." For Kenny Chesney, of the nearly 8 million albums sold, the soon-to-be arena-sized headliner, the inevitable chart-climber, that`s all cake. For him, it`s about the guy in the baseball hat and the girl that guy thinks is pretty. Real life the double platinum boy, who finds his solace in the ocean, realizes doesn`t always show up with the gilded edges and profound pronouncements -- you gotta find the truth as it rolls by with tan lines, an easy smile and a twinkle in its eye. And you know, so far, that`s worked just fine.
