FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Kenny Chesney’s “American Kids” Goes To Number-1 in 2014

Flashback to the September 2014, when Kenny Chesneys song “American Kids,” from his album The Big Revival, topped the songs charts!

“American Kids” was the first single from Kenny’s new album The Big Revival, and while it had a different sound than anything else he had recorded up to that time, he knew there was something special about the song, “You know, I knew within the first 30 seconds of listening to ‘American Kids’ that it was something pretty different for me. The cadence and the phrasing of the lyrics and the way the melody wraps itself around those lyrics in the song… it just felt so unique, and I knew as soon as I heard it that it was a song that had the potential to be pretty special for those reasons.” If you want to rewind to the music video for Kenny Chesney’s “American Kids” you can click HERE
