When the Sun Goes Down by Kenny Chesney

Pros: Strong songwriting hooks delivered in a pleasant manner...
Cons: ...but not enough here to make this a remarkable album. It's a pleasant album.

Mixing equal parts of Garth Brooks and Jimmy Buffett, When The Sun Goes Down was yet another country crossover smash for Kenny Chesney. The good looking Southern frat boy, who sometimes channels the islands but loves using his twang to tell big ...

Pros: Great songs, and insight into Chesney we never really got before.
Cons: The fact that the CD ends.

This is it. This is the peak of Kenny Chesney's career. This is the best CD he has put out to date (although a new one comes out tomorrow, 1/25/05). Nearly every song on this album could hold up on its own as a single, and in fact, about 6 of them have. ...

Pros: Some of Chesney's best lyrics to date, excellent variety, 10 legitimate hit songs.
Cons: Short on tracks, only 11 songs on the CD; Outta Here is purely filler.

I'm a big fan of Kenny Chesney. I really like the stuff he put out as a slightly immature cowboy in the mid-to-late 90's, and I absolutely love the stuff he now puts out as the half-cowboy/half-rocker (I should've included some percentage of him that's ...

Pros: A cd full of feel good music and soothing ballads.
Cons: Why can't Kenny make albums quicker, because he hasn't had a bad one!

Kenny's last album, No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems sold over three million copies, and for good reason. No one even imagined that he could do it again, but he DID! This album is full of songs that talk about real experiences from the ole Tennessee boy. Kenny heats it up with upbeat songs like the title track, When The Sun Goes Down, and then he can cool things off with great ballads like There Goes My Life. Chesney has the ability to write a song/story about anything that is going on in his "Jimmy Buffett-style" life and pulls that off through this entire album. Just to know that Kenny was sitting with his six-string, in the Virgin Islands somewhere, making up hit after hit is amazing. I can put this album on anytime and bring a smile to my face! All I can say is keep bringing the hits Kenny!
