There's not a dull moment on the whole album. I'll be buying more Kenny Chesney albums, that's for sure.
In true country style,it comes a bit close at times to being sentimental rather than emotional,but does not quite tip over the edge.The songs are intelligent,amusing,thought-provoking,evocative ,well played, and well sung.
If you thought country was not for you,give this a try.
The CD begins with "Young" about way back when and how much fun it was being "rebels without a clue", typical cross-over country-rock fare. Yet Chesney has much more to offer when he wistfully walks down memory lane, remembers and regrets lost loves, wrong choices, and fateful hesitations in beautiful sad songs like "I Remember", "On the Coast of somewhere beautiful", "Never Gonna feel that way again", "A Lot of Things Different", "One Step Up", and "I Can't Go There", Youthful carefreeness and craziness replaced with a longing for persons and places lingering in one's memory never to be lived with and in again.
"Big Star" is the one throwaway song in the CD, although "Dreams" and "Live Those Songs" could also have been left out or less formula written.
The highlight of the CD is "The Good stuff", a paen to memories of a wonderful woman and a wonderful marriage, a song that will be of comfort to those who have lost a dear one to cancer and from life. A song that will live a long time.
The general tenor of the CD is nostalgic with songs reminiscing of a life filled with regret that has one wanting to get way and wishing to waste carefree laid-back days on a boat off the coast of Mexico, to sip margaritas, listen to Jimmy Buffet with "No Shoes, No Shirt, No problems".
