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’ve been on a bigger-than-normal Kenny Chesney kick lately. With his new album, “Songs for the Saints,” just coming out and the first single, “Get Along,” on constant rotation on the airwaves and around our pool (listen to my playlist), it’s hard to ignore him.

There are few crooners that represent the beach bar bum lifestyle more than Mr. Chesney and whether or not you’re a fan of country music doesn’t really matter when he’s singing about warm sand, cold drinks and his favorite beach...

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. The article was one of my most popular posts and as it is with any subject people are passionate about, generated a lot of conversation. 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...
