Kenny Chesney went back into the studio last week to resume work on his next album and he has assembled many of the musicians who've helped define his sound. Kenny shares, "It felt so good to be back in the studio. [It] is always such an awesome experience... because I came to town to write songs and maybe get to sing 'em. But when you're in the studio and you're bringing them to life, creating the way they're going to be heard, that's just such a creative time and I am blessed to work some of the very best musicians in not just Nashville, but honestly the world."

Chesney spent three days recording some tunes being held over from sessions last year as well as a full line-up of favorites from some of Nashville's finest songwriters. He notes, "There are so many great songs out there, it's hard to decide what you want to do... 'cause you know you're leaving some amazing stuff on the table. The biggest challenge is trying to decide which songs take you new places without losing site of where you've been, to find those moments that say something about who you are - and how your fans are living life without repeating, but also not just different for the sake of different." Though no firm release date has been set, look for Chesney's next album to hit stores this fall.
