Well, why don’t y'all just sit-a-spell and soak in the captivating charm of Kenny Chesney’s "The Big Revival." Released back in 2014, this album marks a moment of vibrant rejuvenation and proud evolution in Chesney's storied career—and honey, he's still hambone deep in what makes him such a timeless talent in the world of country music!
Under the guiding hands of Chesney and his trusty cohort, Buddy Cannon, "The Big Revival" puts forth a delightful selection of tunes. Among 'em, you’ve got good-time, foot-tapping winners like "American Kids," tightly knit with reflective melodies like "Save It for a Rainy Day." With hits such as "Til It's Gone" and the touching duet "Wild Child" featuring Grace Potter, Kenny hangs his songs like heirloom quilts on a country line—each song resonating with warmth and wide reaching appeal. Shoot, ain't it something that all four singles from this album landed first place on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart!
Critics were quick to tip their hats to Chesney; they couldn’t help but heap praise on the alacrity and depth woven into "The Big Revival." They certainly took a shine to the authentic blend of polished production and soul-stirring storytelling, all dotted with vivacious emotions. It was no surprise that the album was plumbed up the sales charts, kickin' off at number one on the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart with gold certification to boot. Kenny is back, as sure as eggs is eggs—a southern star lighting up the country music skies. - Savannah
