New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Kenny Chesney's 'Hemingway's Whiskey' will be released
September 28th on BNA Records. Its debut single, "The Boys of Fall," is already Top 15 at country radio, ranking among the fastest-rising singles of Chesney's career. Co-produced by Chesney, the touching full-length eight-minute video for the song featuring football superstars including Peyton Manning and
Brett Favre can now be seen on video outlets, including VEVO, CMT and GAC.
The country superstar, who has sold more than 30 million albums to date, says of the anthemic song: "I learned how to work hard on the football field. I learned how to trust people on the football field. I learned humility on the football field. I learned teamwork on the football field. And all those things apply to what you do in your life. If you learn that early on, you have a chance to be really great at something - the ability to be a great friend, a great father and a great husband."
Other standout tracks on the album include the haunting "Somewhere With You," a song about getting over a relationship, which Chesney says "is really tough - there's always something to remind you of a time, a place, a memory, a feeling." "You and Tequila," written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, is a duet with big-voiced rocker Grace Potter (says Chesney, "I just fell in love with her voice"); and "Coastal" is a celebration of low-key vacationing.
Then there's the title tune, co-written by Guy Clark, Ray Stephenson and Joe Leathers, which makes Chesney think of one of his favorite books, 'The Old Man and the Sea,' and about the idea of sitting down with its adventurous author for a drink. "I'd like to sit with him and talk about life, because he got through a lot in his life with some regret, but with a lot of grace too. And there's a lesson in there for everybody."
