Kenny Chesney’s “Better Boat,” the second single from his latest album, “Songs for the Saints,” has been one of my favorite tunes from the album since I first heard it on No Shoes Radio. After digging around the internet for a while, I discovered a reviewer on iTunes who mentioned that the singer/songwriter behind the song was Travis Meadows. Searching through YouTube videos, I came across a video of Meadows performing the song in...

I’m always on the lookout for great tunes to add to my beach bar playlist. After all, there are only so many Chesney, Buffett and Marley songs you can play. So when I came across “Rum is the Reason” by Toby Keith, from his newest album, “35 mph Town,” and heard the sweet sounds of steelpan coming at me, I knew I had another spot on my playlist filled. The tune has that lilting rhythmic island swing to it that gently lulls you into a...

Last summer I created a list of ten Kenny Chesney songs I would want on my beach bar playlist and even had the audacity to rank them from 10 to 1.

Overall, though, I think people were generally acceptable of the list or just didn’t want to waste their breath telling me how much of an idiot I...

Kenny Chesney’s latest song, “Flora-Bama,” isn’t unique in the fact that it is about a beach bar. Most of his songs, however, are about his love for his favorite Caribbean beach bars. This one takes place in the good ol’ US of A at the famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) Flora-Bama, located on the state line that separates, yes, Florida and Alabama. For bragging rights, though, it’s...
Tuesday Tunes: Brad Paisley, “River Bank”

Brad Paisley’s performance of his new single, “River Bank,” was a reminder of why I love watching the ACMs (Academy of Country Music). I don’t usually watch entertainment industry awards shows on TV. I can normally find better things to do than watch a bunch of insanely wealthy people glad handing each other in celebration of their “art” for three plus hours. However, if I come across the CMA...
