According to his Web site (kennychesney), the album
will feature "largely self-penned" material and was inspired by
a recording session on the title track with Willie Nelson a
couple of years ago.
"I've come to a place in my life where there are songs that
want to be written," Chesney said, "and that I really want to
sing. We didn't think the record would be ready until next
year, but the music we've been making is so inspiring. We've
been on a real creative jag."
The new album follows 2007's "Just Who I Am: Poets &
Pirates," which has sold 1.4 million copies in the United
States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The single "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" debuted
Thursday (August 21) at a career-best No. 41 on the Billboard
Hot 100.
Chesney is on tour through September 13 and will play the
Farm Aid benefit concert outside Boston on September 20.
