Kenny Chesney has covered a lot of ground - and he believes he's got a lot more ground to go.
The platinum plus Just Who I am, has already yielded two number one singles with "Never Wanted Nothing More," and "Don't Blink." The current single, "Shiftwork," is a duet with pal George Strait and is Top 5 and climbing. Chesney, the triple and reigning Academy of Country Music and three time and current Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year sold more tickets in North America than anyone last year, played football stadiums and sang the songs that capture the way people live their lives, dream their dreams and feel the moments that define them.

"I've been through a lot ..." says the Luttrell, Tennessean with the philosophical calm of a pilgrim who knows the very best music comes from the accrual of one's experiences. "I've lived a lot, tasted a lot. I've laughed a lot, hurt a lot, looked for answers, found more questions, had some moments to remember - and I think all that comes through when I open my mouth and sing.

"And as a singer, I don't push a lot, I just let it come," he continues, trying to define the way he inhabits a song from the places most people miss. "It weeds the songs a lot quicker: I have to make 'em believable. I know as soon as I start singing, if it feels true to me, if I can bring it home
- literally and figuratively. If it doesn't feel honest or true, then, well ... I've let some pretty good songs go."

Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates is in many ways Chesney's most intimate album to date. Still marked by the high jinks and good-time revelry he's known for - the tropical feeling morning-after introduction of "Got a Little Crazy," the shimmering, wide-open embrace of being young and free of "Just Not Today" - but the musical synthesis and emotional openness could've only come from a life lived in, around, making and loving music.
