Another Winner From Chesney!

"This is one of KC's best albums to date; in fact, the only songs I really don't like are "Everbody Wants To Go To Heaven" and "Ten With a Two." Other than these two songs, this album is great!
Once again, KC does not do traditional country music here; yet, this album does not have the same rock-and-roll sound of his previous hits such as "Young" and "Big Star." The first few songs on here are more soul bearing and refelctive, haunting and telling; think songs like "Road and the Radio" and "There Goes My Life." The second part of the album is KC's trademark "island country" music that has come to define his recent cds; think slower-versions of songs like "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem" and "When the Sun Goes Down."
Overall, most of the songs on "Lucky Old Sun" have a slower feel than many of KC's past albums - as if KC wanted this album to be about storytelling instead of simply producing "good time" music. My favorite songs are "I'm Alive", "Way Down Here" and "Nowhere To Go, Nowhere To Be." I highly recommend this album!"

"I love Kenny Chesney, but this one is a little melancholy on the one hand and recklessly beer soaked on the other...not my fave"
