Kenny Chesney To Release New Album “Life On A Rock” on April 30
For Kenny Chesney, It’s All About “Life On A Rock”
With “Pirate Flag” beaming out at the stroke of midnight, Kenny Chesney figured the time was right to release the title of his much anticipated April 30 Blue Chair/Columbia release. Life On A Rock, co-produced with longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon, captures the thematic core of the 10 song set that’s been recorded and mixed in Los Angeles, Hawaii, Jamaica, Key West, London and Nashville, Tennessee.
“It all depends on what kind of rock you’re looking at,” Chesney says of the title. “Just living here on this planet, we’re all living life on a rock; but for me, and for this record, it’s about the way life is when you live on an island. Everywhere you go, there’s everyone you know; you know everything about them, and they know everything about you… and well, that’s just a whole other way to be.

Emerson Drive’s New Single is “CRAZY!”
A tour. An album. And now the official release of a new single to American radio.
Emerson Drive announces the release of a brand new single, “She’s My Kind of Crazy,” the lead single from Roll, the band’s much anticipated new studio album. The song has had over 20,000 iTunes downloads, in just under three months, and sees over 40 spins per week on Sirius XM’s “The Highway.” The flurry of activity forced an earlier release date of Roll to January 22nd.
“Our fans have been wonderfully loud in asking us for new music here in the U.S.,” said lead singer Brad Mates. “We knew ‘Crazy’ needed to be heard and we’ve worked hard the last few months to make it available digitally and now to ask our friends at radio to give us a shot.”
On YouTube, the video (directed Emerson Drive’s David Pichette) is closing in on half a million views! Watch the new clip below!

Kenny Chesney Announces New Single, “Pirate Flag”
Maybe it’s the time of the year, the sluggish economy, the boring job or the brutal cold, but sometimes, as members of the No Shoes Nation know, you just have to let your freak flag fly. No one understands better than Kenny Chesney that need to jettison the mundane and push back against the inertia of life.
And so now in the dead of winter, the 4-time Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year rolls out an anthem of everyday insurrection and rebellion on one’s own terms. With “Pirate Flag,” written by David Lee Murphy (“Livin’ In Fast Forward,” “Dust on the Bottle”) and new-to-town Ross Cooperman, Chesney offers an anthem for everyman that says, “Where I am may be great, but don’t think I’ll ever surrender to the 9-to-5.”
“No matter where you are, no matter how you live,” says Chesney, “there is that part of you that yearns to be free, to say, ‘What the hell…’ and just do what you want to do! That’s what this song is all about. The freedom and the idea that you can just say, “Enough,’ even if it’s only in your mind, while you’re watching your boss’s mouth move and are dreaming of whatever gets you off.
