Kenny Chesney had his eye on 2010 as a bit of a break…kind of a year off, when he wasn’t going to be touring hot and heavy like he has in years past…but when you look at what Kenny’s been doing — from the making of his new album to his Summer in 3D and the work that he put into creating his Boys of Fall documentary about high school football — it sure doesn’t seem like he’s been on a break. So we couldn’t help but smile as we asked Kenny about how that “year off” has been going. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• If you haven’t seen Kenny’s Boys of Fall documentary, you can catch a re-airing this coming Monday, September 27th, at 7pm, ET, on ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD.
• And Kenny’s new album is right around the corner! Hemingway’s Whiskey is the title, and it’ll be in your favorite music store on September 28th! It features Kenny’s current smash single, “The Boys of Fall.”

  Kenny Chesney says that taking a break is sometimes just about where you focus your energy. (:14)
“Yeah, I haven’t really mentally taken that break yet. But you know what? In a weird kind of way, making this football documentary has been really a lot of work, but it’s been a mental break from something else. You know? And so in a weird kind of way, it’s goin’ great…that year off.”
