Kenny Chesney

Chesney releases his single The Boys of Fall from his album, Hemingway’s Whiskey. Songwriter Casey Beathard tells what inspired him to write the song:

Football is my biggest passion other than songwriting and the family stuff I do. If I’m not with my family or writing, I’m at home just watching football. That’s my background. My dad and brothers were in football, and I have a big passion for it. I’m coaching my kids all through it.

Chesney releases the single, Out Last Night, from his album, Greatest Hits Volume 2. Chesney:

I think people have so much heavy stuff to deal with. You can get so lost in all of that, that you miss the little things that make life worth living. And I believe we have a choice: we can drown in the bad stuff, or we can figure out how to laugh a little bit. Sometimes it’s as simple as just hanging out with your buddies somewhere. That’s what the song is about. Not anything more than just that… and yet, when things are bad, talking about sports, flirting with the girls, not doing much of anything can sure make you feel a whole lot better for a little while – and that can make everything a whole easier to shoulder.

 Chesney releases his single, Don’t Blink, from his album, Just who I Am: Pirates and Poets. Song writer, Chris Wallin shares his inspiration behind the song:

I’d had the idea for that song for about a year. It was one of those things that I felt really personal about because I had lost three major family members within a two-year period. My mother, my grandmother and my brother. When something like that happens — there was a line that I was wanting to put in the song that never made it in the song. ‘We always send flowers to people when they’re gone. We should send them when they’re living.’ You don’t always have that time, anyway.

Chesney releases the single, Summertime, from his album, The Road and the Radio. The song was written by Craig Wiseman and Steve McEwan. Wiseman:

Steve was in town from London. We had about three days to write, so we were really taking advantage of our time. We’d go til 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning… until we dropped!We were writing ‘My Old Friend’ [for Tim McGraw], but we were trying not to write a ballad so we kept trying not to write that particular song. Finally around midnight, we took a break from writing ‘My Old Friend’ and went out on the back steps of my office. It was that first night when it stays warm, and you can smell the grass growing. I walked outside and was like, ‘Man… summertime! Smell that!’ It was that first warm night of summer. It was great.
That next day, I was driving in to write with Steve. For whatever reason, I kept going, ‘Summertime! Summertime!’ It was sticking in my head. We got to the office, and I pulled up a drumbeat and started saying it to the beat. I didn’t want to call it ‘Summertime,’ because you want to come up with a little better of a title than that, but it just kept coming back to ‘Summertime.’
I’m from Mississippi, so I’m a kid from the South. Summertime was always the start of the year for me, and it still is. I look at my year starting not in January, but in June when school is letting out. If I’m going to be associated with a season, I’d rather it be summertime than try to write another Christmas song or something!
