Chanteur Country US né Kenneth A. Chesney, le 26
Mars 1968 à Knoxville (Tennessee).
Contemporary
country star Kenny Chesney didn't have the immediate breakout success that many
of his peers enjoyed upon signing with major labels, but gradually built up a
significant following via hard work, pop-friendly ballads, and a likable,
average-guy persona. Chesney was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in
the nearby small town of Luttrell, better known as the home of
Chet Atkins. He grew up listening to both
country and rock & roll, but didn't get serious about music until college, when
he studied marketing at East Tennessee State University. He received a guitar as
a Christmas present and set about practicing, and was soon performing with the
college bluegrass band. He soon started writing songs as well and played for
tips in local venues — most often a Mexican restaurant — every night he could;
additionally, he managed to sell 1,000 copies of a self-released demo album.
After graduation in 1991, he moved to Nashville and became the resident
performer at the Turf, a rougher honky tonk in the city's historic district.
While he gained experience, it wasn't the sort of place where he'd be discovered,
and in 1992, he moved on to a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose. From there he
landed a record contract with Capricorn and released his debut album, In My
Wildest Dreams, in late 1993.
Unfortunately for Chesney, Capricorn wasn't much of a country label; not only
was the album underpromoted, but the label's country division shut down
completely not long after its release. Still, it sold 100,000 copies and caught
the attention of several big-time major labels. Chesney ended up signing with
RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I Need to Know in 1995. The album
gave him his first two Top Ten hits in the title track and "Fall in Love." His
follow-up, 1996's Me and You, became his first album to go gold, thanks
to two number two singles in the title track and "When I Close My Eyes." 1997's
I Will Stand was another gold-selling effort that gave Chesney his first-ever
number one hit in "She's Got It All," plus another number two with "That's Why
I'm Here." His big-time breakthrough, however, came with 1999's Everywhere We
Go, which sold over two million copies and spawned two number one hits with
"You Had Me from Hello" and "How Forever Feels"; it also featured another Top
Ten single in "What I Need to Do," and another, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy,"
that just missed. In 2000, Chesney issued his first Greatest Hits
compilation, and two newly recorded songs — "I Lost It" and "Don't Happen Twice"
— went to number three and number one, respectively.
Greatest Hits became Chesney's second straight double-platinum release
and topped the country LP charts. He followed it with the all-new No Shirt,
No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest commercial
performance yet. It, too, hit number one on the country album charts and spun
off four Top Ten singles in "Young," the number one "The Good Stuff," the
Bill Anderson co-write "A Lot of Things
Different," and "Big Star." A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003, and he
returned strongly with 2004's When the Sun Goes Down, which won in the
Album of the Year category at the Country Music Awards. He repeated the win,
this time as Entertainer of the Year, with Be as You Are (Songs from an Old
Blue Chair). Chesney found himself the subject of much tabloid fodder in
2005 with his surprise marriage to actress Renée Zellweger (he had composed
1999's "You Had Me from Hello" after watching Zellweger in the 1996 film
Jerry Maguire). The pair split that same year, citing irreconcilable
differences, and Chesney released the chart-topping The Road and the Radio
in November. In the years that followed, Chesney kept busy, releasing Live:
Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates in
2007. In April 2010, Chesney and director Joe Thomas released the 3D concert
film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D. Taken from his 2009 Sun City Carnival
Tour, the film included 23 songs from six stadium shows, shot in 3D,
interspersed with interviews and home movies. A completely new studio album,
Hemingway's Whiskey, named after a Guy
Clark song, also appeared in 2010. 13th studio album, Welcome to the
Fishbowl, arrived in 2012.
Welcome to the Fishbowl performed respectably, debuting at number two on the
Billboard 200 and generating the number one country single "Come Over," along
with the Top 20 hits "Feel Like a Rock Star" and "El Cerrito Place." Following
its release, Chesney's label BNA shuttered and he jumped over to Columbia
Nashville, which released Life on a Rock in April 2013. The album hit number
one, and the single "Pirate Flag" reached the country Top Ten. Chesney quickly
followed Life on a Rock with The Big Revival. A conscious shift toward a
brighter sound, The Big Revival was Chesney's liveliest work of the decade, as
evidenced by its first single, "American Kids," a singalong that peaked at
number two on the country chart.
Upon its September 2014 release, The Big Revival debuted at number two on
Billboard's Top 200 and number one on the country chart, and it spawned three
additional country Top Ten singles: "Til It's Gone," the Grace Potter duet "Wild
Child," and "Save It for a Rainy Day." In the spring of 2016, Chesney returned
with "Noise," the first single from Cosmic Hallelujah, the full-length album
that was originally called Some Town Somewhere and scheduled for July release,
but was retitled and rescheduled for October that same year. Chesney followed Cosmic
Hallelujah in October 2017 with the double-disc Live in No Shoes Nation, his
first live album in a decade.
Ending his contract with Sony Music Nashville, Chesney announced a move to
Warner Bros. in early 2018 and in the spring of that year, issued the optimistic
single "Get Along." It was the first single from Songs for the Saints, an album
written as a tribute to the victims of Hurricane Irma. The album landed at
number two on the Billboard 200 and topped the country chart. In July 2019, Chesney released
the song "Tip of My Tongue," which he co-wrote with Ross Copperman and Ed
Sheeran. The track served as the first single off his 2020 studio album Here and
Now.
