Kenny Chesney Biography
Contemporary country star Kenny Chesney didn't have the
immediate breakout success that many of his peers enjoyed upon signing
with major labels, but gradually built up a significant following via
hard work, pop-friendly ballads, and a likable, average-guy persona.
Chesney was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in the nearby
small town of Luttrell, better known as the home of Chet Atkins. He
grew up listening to both country and rock & roll, but didn't get
serious about music until college, when he studied marketing at East
Tennessee State University. He received a guitar as a Christmas present
and set about practicing, and was soon performing with the college
bluegrass band. He soon started writing songs as well and played for
tips in local venues -- most often a Mexican restaurant -- every night
he could; additionally, he managed to sell 1,000 copies of a
self-released demo album. After graduation in 1991, he moved to
Nashville and became the resident performer at the Turf, a rougher
honky tonk in the city's historic district. While he gained experience,
it wasn't the sort of place where he'd be discovered, and in 1992, he
moved on to a publishing deal with Acuff-Rose. From there he landed a
record contract with Capricorn and released his debut album, In My
Wildest Dreams, in late 1993.
Unfortunately for Chesney, Capricorn wasn't much of a country label;
not only was the album underpromoted, but the label's country division
shut down completely not long after its release. Still, it sold 100,000
copies and caught the attention of several big-time major labels.
Chesney ended up signing with RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I
Need to Know in 1995. The album gave him his first two Top Ten hits in
the title track and Fall in Love. His follow-up, 1996's Me and You,
became his first album to go gold, thanks to two number two singles in
the title track and When I Close My Eyes. 1997's I Will Stand was
another gold-selling effort that gave Chesney his first-ever number one
hit in She's Got It All, plus another number two with That's Why I'm
Here. His big-time breakthrough, however, came with 1999's Everywhere
We Go, which sold over two million copies and spawned two number one
hits with You Had Me from Hello and How Forever Feels ; it also
featured another Top Ten single in What I Need to Do, and another,
She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy, that just missed. In 2000, Chesney
issued his first Greatest Hits compilation, and two newly recorded
songs -- I Lost It and Don't Happen Twice -- went to number three
and number one, respectively.
Greatest Hits became Chesney's second straight double-platinum release
and topped the country LP charts. He followed it with the all-new No
Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest
commercial performance yet. It, too, hit number one on the country
album charts and spun off four Top Ten singles in Young, the number
one The Good Stuff, the Bill Anderson co-write A Lot of Things
Different, and Big Star. A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003,
and he returned strongly with 2004's When the Sun Goes Down, which won
in the Album of the Year category at the Country Music Awards. He
repeated the win, this time as Entertainer of the Year, with Be as You
Are (Songs from an Old Blue Chair). Chesney found himself the subject
of much tabloid fodder in 2005 with his surprise marriage to actress
Renée Zellweger (he had composed 1999's You Had Me from Hello after
watching Zellweger in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire). The pair split that
same year, citing irreconcilable differences, and Chesney released the
chart-topping The Road and the Radio in November. Live: Live Those
Songs Again followed in 2006. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
