| Audio CD Description Though Kenny Chesney had been building a rabid fan base over the years, no one expected his 2002 release, the multi-platinum No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems, to make him a superstar. But the Luttrell, Tenn., native had found a batch of songs that perfectly captured that scary no-man's land between adolescence and adulthood, precisely where the bulk of his followers happened to live. On its sequel, When the Sun Goes Down, the protagonists are older, with kids on the way and hectic jobs that rob them of leisure time. In fantasizing about those college keg parties and hedonism after dark, they search for a sigh of relief. Chesney understands this, and his own changes, too. Emotionally he's more at home in his own skin, and since his voice has gotten deeper and wider, he sounds increasingly confident in the studio, besting guest artist Uncle Kracker on the title song, a warmed-over Jimmy Buffett vibe. He's also matured as a writer. The majority of his four songs, two co-written with others, are no match for "There Goes My Life," the powerful unwed father ballad that served as the album's first single, or even "When I Think About Leavin'," another tune about standing at the crossroads. But his memorable "Being Drunk's a Lot Like Loving You" will burrow deep in your psyche, and prove Chesney a fine guide to confronting pain. Better keep this one handy. --Alanna Nash |

One of the best out there I have liked Kenny Chesney since I first heard his music, but "There Goes My Life" made me a huge fan. That song explains my and my husband's life almost exactly down to the blue-eyed blonde with curls. I bought this CD the day it was released, and when I am having a hard day and tired of being a mom, I put this CD on and am quickly reminded how much I need to enjoy every minute of my little girl's life before she is grown and gone. Kenny has done it again with this one.
Disappointed with When the Sun Goes Down I was really looking foward to the release of this CD as, overall, I am a huge Kenny Chesney fan. I used to faithfully go to his concerts when he was still touring on small, local venues of a few hundred people. (My husband and I even played Kenny Chesney's Me and You as our wedding song.) However, after listening to the CD only three days, I am ready to take it out of the CD player. None of the songs "grabbed" me. It leaves me wondering what happened to the Kenny Chesney that I used to so enjoy.
Same formula brought up a notch Unlike many Nashville stars that have become very cliche and predictable with one love song or leaving song after another, Kenny Chesney may have his own success formula down but the difference is, he brings the same type of songs up a notch and find great songs to throw in the mix... that seem to get better each time. Just as Toby Keith's "attitude" songs brought him to another level, Kenny knows his audience wants feel good beach tunes, reflective songs about life, getting drunk, scoring, and school. "When The Sun Goes Down" delivers all of the above, in some cases, all at once. (Somebody please admit that Kenny borrows Sugar Ray's riff from "Fly" on the title track) To his credit, though, Kenny does pick well-penned songs that are detailed enough to paint a picture, emotional enough to force you to reflect on the experience. "There Goes My Life", "Some People Change" and "When I Think About Leaving" are by far the best songs on the project and prime examples of his maturity. Unlike most Nashville artists who follow the predictable formula of loading up a CD with one love song or leaving after another, Kenny Chesney continues to follow Tim McGraw's path of offering songs that deal with real issues, real life, and are outside the box of standard mushy love songs, at times corny - but believeable and fun ("Keg in the Closet"). Kenny raises the bar on this one ... this is easily the best project to come out this year ...and will be hard to top. |
