While “All The Pretty Girls,” the latest single from his album Cosmic Hallelujah, continues to climbs the charts–the official music video for it premieres this weekend on CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown, Kenny Chesney is starting to share details about his next album–Live in No Shoes Nation. The new collection of live songs, which will be available on October 27th, features 29 performances captured from Kenny’s tours over the last 10 years. When he started to go through the recorded shows, Kenny knew the album would need to be supersized, “The longer I worked on this record, I realized there was going to be a lot of songs on this project. Because there was so many great moments, and the band sounded so good, and the audience sounded so good, that I couldn’t throw away those moments. I could not have those moments not be a part of this project and this live record.”Of course if you have ever been to a Kenny Chesney concert, you know there’s tons of great moments in just one shows, know multiple that by a tour’s worth of shows, and a decade’s worth of tour, Kenny says “The list started to grow, and you just can’t take all those memories, all those nights of everybody’s summer and start to prioritize them…I just wanted to relive all of them, and I wanted the fans to relive all of them. Trust me, they’re not reliving all of them cause we’d have a hundred tracks on here. But I’m very proud of these songs that we have on this live record because they represent a lot.” Fans will be able to remember and relive all those moments this Fall, when the Live in No Shoes Nation album comes out on October 27th.
