USA TODAY profiles St. John/Peter Bay resident Kenny Chesney, reporting the singer has two homes in the islands. (Interestingly, the piece mentions only the Caribbean, never St. John. Same anonymity in a Washington Post pan of the new album this morning. Suggests Chesney's baked in the sun too long and lost his drive. Must be the islands, 'mon :).
His new album released this week, with lyrics like,
"I've watched boats sail in and out of Cinnamon Bay" and a mention of the Quiet Mon Pub,on the second floor above La Tapa.
The new CD's title is "Be As You Are". You can audition tracks here.
Country Music Television is also playing an hour-long show this week featuring Chesney. "Fans will be treated to intimate, acoustic performances of his new songs, video footage of his favorite island getaway and reflections on what the islands mean to him," the cable channel's program puff says. Here's the broadcast schedule.
