With the deluxe edition of his new album, Lucky Old Sun, in stores now — and the straight-ahead, 11-song version available this coming Tuesday — Kenny Chesney has delivered one of his most personal albums…and he hopes that in these songs, fans will find the same kind of connection that’s happened in other music he’s recorded. Kenny says he’s always blown away to hear from people who talk about how much a song has meant to them. “And I’ve never met ’em, but I can tell that they get what I was writing about, and they’re livin’ the same thing…and that I’ve touched them in some way.” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• Be sure to tune-in to see Kenny perform this Friday, October 17th, on the syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show! Check your local listings or visit ellentv.com to find airtimes in your area!

  Kenny Chesney finds a real sense of satisfaction in the feedback from fans when a song has touched their life. (:24)
“It’s amazing to get letters that I get in, and to read e-mails that we get in, and to see how much a piece of music that I’ve recorded has meant somethin’ to somebody’s life. And I’ve never met ’em, but I can tell that they get what I was writing about, and they’re livin’ the same thing, and I can tell that they relate to it, and that I’ve touched them in some way.”
