Kenny Chesney’s new album will be called Life On A Rock.  He recorded it in Los Angeles, Hawaii, Jamaica, Key West, London and Nashville.  One thing is for sure though…no matter where Kenny takes his music, you always know he puts his heart and soul into every song.  Kenny says his music got better when he started putting as much of his personal life as possible into his songs.
