Autumn has officially arrived, and right on cue, Kenny Chesney‘s new album, Hemingway’s Whiskey — featuring his blockbuster hit, “The Boys of Fall” — is set for release Tuesday, September 28th! Available in an 11-track version, as well as a deluxe, limited-edition 13-song package that comes with a bonus DVD, the album is one that Kenny says effectively captures the different sides to his personality, whether it’s the thoughtful balladeer or the high-energy showman who rocks it out on stage. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• The deluxe edition bonus DVD delivers a half-hour of Kenny, including a special thank-you to the fans; an in-studio look at the recording of “You and Tequila,” Kenny’s collaboration with Grace Potter; and Kenny’s song-by-song commentary on the deluxe edition’s 13 tracks.
• In addition to the album collaboration with Grace Potter on “You and Tequila,” it features another very special guest — the legendary George Jones — who duets with Kenny on the song, “Small Y’all.”
• Kenny says that the album title — also one of the songs on the album — was one that he loved not just because of how well it seemed to fit him, but also because it was an intriguing title. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Kenny Chesney talks about his new album, Hemingway’s Whiskey. (:30)
“I think in this record that there are traces of a lot of different sides of me. I think that I’m totally capable of being two different people, you know, (laughs) in my everyday life and especially as an artist, and…because there is a big part of me that really wants to be on stage and never do a ballad, ever. But there’s also a part of me that wants to write a record like Be as You Are and Lucky Old Sun, because that’s how I live a lot of my life, you know? And so, I think with this album, with Hemingway’s Whiskey, I have kind of combined a little bit of those two worlds.”

  Kenny Chesney see some of the songs on his new album as future concert staples. (:09)
“There are some songs on this record — like ‘Live a Little’ and ‘Reality’ — that I know I’m gonna do live, you know, and they’re gonna be a part of our live show forever.”

  Kenny Chesney says that his album title, Hemingway’s Whiskey, (also the name of a song on the album) was a good fit for him, as well as just an intriguing title. (:24)
“I felt like the song described…it did fit me, a lot, and I felt like it was just…that the title in itself was interesting. I felt like that it was…it made people, when they see that and they even hear the phrase, Hemingway’s Whiskey…well, what’s that about? You know, what’s…I think it draws you in.”
