Kenny Chesney has the number-one country airplay single in the nation with his smash, “American Kids” — and Kenny says that he’s thrilled to have released this song when he did because he feels like “American Kids” does a great job of setting the stage for the rest of the songs on his new album, the September 23rd release, The Big Revival.

  – About The Big Revival ZinePak, Kenny says, “Working on this…. and writing directly to the No Shoes Nation was an awesome opportunity. Going through all the pictures, thinking about all the places we’ve been and the people who’ve made our music come alive took me back. This has been an amazing ride, and to be able share some of it in a new way is pretty cool. This is a place where I was able to talk about what the songwriting means, why the fans mean so much to me. It’s very personal, and there’s no filter between myself and the readers.”

“I felt that it was the perfect choice to be the first single off The Big Revival, to be the first song that represented this record, and hopefully sets the table for everything that’s gonna come after ‘American Kids,’ which is a lot of fun — it’s gonna be really high energy, but it’s also gonna make ya think, and it’s also gonna make ya want, and it’s gonna make ya be better than you are. And to me, that’s what The Big Revival is all about. And ‘American Kids’ was the absolute perfect first single for this album and one of my favorite lead singles for a record that I think that I’ve had since ‘Young.'”
