Get Your Copy of 'The Road and the Radio' Today!

Today is the day! Get your copy of Kenny Chesney's 'The Road and the Radio'! I'll be looking for my copy after work today.

After veering off on a more personal, acoustic-based album, country‘s reigning superstar returns to mainstream form on this set, whose title cut reflects two places this guy dominates. That song in particular is a big, broad ballad of the type Chesney owns, as is the deeply sad leadoff single "Who You‘d Be Today." Similarly, "Summertime" and "Tequila Loves Me" are the sort of laid-back mood pieces likely to melt snow this winter, and Chesney sings the hell out of the romantic power ballad "Save Me" and the well-drawn "Freedom." He rocks a little harder than usual on the Stones-ish "Living in Fast Forward" and brings horns and bombast to "Beer in Mexico." Bottom line: This is Chesney doing what he does so very well, and his legions of fans will eat it up.
