Another superb album from Kenny Chesney I’m a big Kenny fan having got all his albums and unlike some reviewers I have to buy them. I can’t think of a single song of Kenny’s that doesn’t touch me in some way and this album is no different a collection of songs that actually sum up Kenny’s thoughts and feelings, you know as soon as you see the name Kenny Chesney that the listeners have got an album full of songs to get it on with. Strangely the dancers don’t seem to have caught on to Kenny’s albums in the same way or maybe they start listening and can’t
concentrate on writing dances.
I’m not giving a song by song review of this album buy it listen and make your own mind up about what each tracks about that the magic of Kenny Chesney. ENJOY!

The album is mainly a collection of love songs (non romantics switch off now.)
The Album starts with the slow moving Back There Again a love song about leaving a girl and promising not to go back, so as to save his love from a wasted life with him. a
beautifully crafted song with a tempo that would suit some dances.
Track two is a song called can’t be good and the first line tells you all you need to know about the style
(speakers cranking out a lot of hank) and we’re talking about Hank Jr not his Pa. Some great rhythms. A dance track if I ever heard one.
We move onto Don’t Make Me another lovely love song about a guy who realizes she no longer cares about him and he’s begging her Don’t Make Me let you go.
I Don’t Care is about seeing his old love with someone new and his
realizing that he perhaps shouldn’t have dumped her until he reminds himself that it was him who said I don’t care then finally -- well I’ll let you sort out the ending.
I Have Been Lonely great mid tempo song about counting the days since they broke up and the pain that goes with it. Another Dance Track
It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Me a clever little number about mistakes made and the kind of place you’d be a place you can only find with wrong turns. a toe heel stomper of a track.
The Last Country Song (we hope it won’t be.) a song waiting for a dance. This song is all about the encroachment of other ways of life on the country side. With guest vocals from George Jones. The more you hear this the better it sounds.
The More I Drink could have been written about me. I think I’m the world’s greatest dancer after a few and well you get the drift. Blake does this kind of song so well.
She Can’t Get That, a cheating song with a great rhythm.
She Don’t Love Me this song is about the worse thing a woman can do to a man not only does she not love him she doesn’t hate him either, ouch.
What I Wouldn’t Give - a what should have been song about how he should have given her everything.
