Kenny Chesney is dipping into the vault for his latest project, Live In No Shoes Nation. The project includes 29 performances from the last decade including some hits, some surprises, some obscure jewels, and some special guests, including a medley with Dave Matthews captured at the end of Chesney’s 2007 Flip Flop Summer Tour.
“When you’re on stage, in the rush of it all, it hits you so hard and so fast. You take it in, but you never really digest it,” explains Chesney. “Once the noise in my head died down, I went in to relive some of those amazing nights I’d had with everyone in No Shoes Nation, and the more I listened, the more I wanted to hear. And the more I heard, the more I knew I needed to share these moments with all the citizens of what we call No Shoes Nation, so they could hear how freaking awesome they sound.”
The superstar combed through 10 years of stadium shows, pop-up bar gigs, amphitheaters and the occasional beach takeover, listening to over a thousand hours of concerts in search of the definitive performances that capture the spirit of his audience and document some of the most special moments in his touring life.
The track listing is still being finalized for the new project, which arrives Oct. 27.
