"Everywhere We Go"
Modern country offers songs about adult
issues--relationships, employment, religion, and children--couched
in the modern production values familiar to more recent generations.Unfortunately,
too much of Everywhere We Go, Kenny Chesney's fifth record, is
second-rate material and paint-by-numbers arrangements sung with
an emotional sameness that seems to make little distinction between
the humor of "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and the
romance of "You Had Me from Hello." For a moment, during
"Baptism"--a duet with Randy Travis--Kenny Chesney
invests some real emotion, and the restrained instruments seem
in tune with the joyful yet serious subject matter. Then Travis
comes in and demonstrates the vocal power and range that it takes
to be the kind of artist that Chesney merely aspires to be. --Michael

Customer review from Amazon
Reviewer: Patrick Z. from Boston, MA
I've been listening to country music
for less than a year, but I'll never forget the first time I
heard How Forever Feels on the radio as I was driving to the
casino. It's one of those songs you have to roll down your windows
for! My new favorite at this point is She Thinks My Tractor's
Sexy. It's a fun, upbeat song that just makes you feel good.
I read someone else's review who said the song is a little redundant.
I see how one might say that but it's still a great tune. I'm
buying the CD right now so I can't comment on every single song
yet but I've heard enough to know what a great CD this is. I
think Kenny Chesney is an excellent singer because he has a smooth
voice, and his music is definitely country, but not with that
backwoods twang. On the other hand it's not as pop-y as say the
Dixie Chicks. None of my friends or co-workers listen to country
music but when I play Chesney over the internet at work or subject
my friends to his songs in the car, I never get any complaints.
I will be buying more of his CDs. |
