Contemporary rural area lead Kenny Chesney didn't let the immediate prisonbreak success that many of his peers enjoyed upon sign language with major labels, only step by step reinforced up a significant following via hard process, pop-friendly ballads, and a likeable, average-guy part. Chesney was born in Knoxville, TN, in 1968 and raised in the nearby pocket-size town of Luttrell, better known as the nursing home of Chet Atkins. He grew up hearing to both state and rock & seethe, but didn't catch serious about medicine until college, when he studied marketing at East Tennessee State University. He received a guitar as a Christmas present and arrange about practicing, and was shortly acting with the college bluegrass band. He shortly started composition songs as well and played for tips in local venues -- most much a Mexican eating house -- every night he could; to boot, he managed to betray 1,000 copies of a self-released demonstration album. After graduation in 1991, he stirred to Nashville and became the resident performer at the Turf, a rougher honky tonk in the city's historic territorial dominion. While he gained experience, it wasn't the sort of place where he'd be discovered, and in 1992, he moved on to a publication deal with Acuff-Rose. From at that place he landed a record constrict with Capricorn and released his debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, in late 1993.
Regrettably for Chesney, Capricorn wasn't practically of a nation label; non only was the album underpromoted, but the label's country division shut depressed completely non long subsequently its release. Still, it sold 100,000 copies and caught the attention of several big time major labels. Chesney concluded up sign language with RCA subsidiary BNA, which released All I Need to Know in 1995. The album gave him his number 1 deuce Top Ten hits in the title track and "Fall in Love." His followup, 1996's Me and You, became his first album to go amber, thanks to deuce bit two singles in the title rail and "When I Close My Eyes." 1997's I Will Stand was some other gold-selling crusade that gave Chesney his first-ever number one hit in "She's Got It All," asset some other routine two with "That's Why I'm Here." His big time breakthrough, however, came with 1999's All over We Go, which sold over iI million copies and spawned iI number unrivalled hits with "You Had Me from Hello" and "How Forever Feels"; it too featured another Top Ten unmarried in "What I Need to Do," and another, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy," that hardly missed. In 2000, Chesney issued his first Greatest Hits compilation, and two fresh recorded songs -- "I Lost It" and "Don't Happen Twice" -- went to number three and routine one, respectively.
Sterling Hits became Chesney's s square double-platinum release and topped the area LP charts. He followed it with the all-new No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem in early 2002, which gave him his strongest commercial-grade operation still. It, to a fault, hit routine one on the area album charts and spun off little Joe Top Ten singles in "Youth," the routine one "The Good Stuff," the Bill Anderson co-write "A Lot of Things Different," and "Magnanimous Star." A Christmas album plugged the gap for 2003, and he returned strongly with 2004's When the Sun Goes Down, which south Korean won in the Album of the Year family at the Country Music Awards. He repeated the acquire, 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 tab fresh fish in 2005 with his surprise man and wife to actress Renée Zellweger (he had composed 1999's "You Had Me from Hello" afterwards observation Zellweger in the 1996 motion-picture show Boche Maguire). The partner off split that like year, citing irreconcilable differences, and Chesney released the chart-topping The Road and the Radio in November. In the years that followed, Chesney unbroken fussy, cathartic Alive: Live Those Songs Again in 2006 and Hardly Who I Am: Poets & Pirates in 2007.
