Of the Deluxe Edition Chesney said, Adding a few songs is kind of the same approach we take to our shows. Every record is different, every night is different. You start feeling good and you want to do 10 extra minutes, 20 extra minutes, extra 3 hours -- whatever it is. This is exactly the same. We put two extra songs and conversation on the record because there are fans that have been a part of my life for a long time and really love our music and have really invested a lot emotionally. You can call it 'going the extra mile' or whatever. I wanted to give them something special. With 30 minutes of content, the DVD includes a personal thank you from Kenny to the fans and a video cut by cut on each of the 13 tracks on the Deluxe Edition. It also includes an in-studio look at the recording of You & Tequila, the duet with blues rocker Grace Potter.

By now his decidedly laid-back, beach bum, everyman persona has so cemented itself into public consciousness that it's sometimes difficult to figure out whether he's intentionally singing songs that cater to that image or vice/versa. Fortunately, that matters little when the song selections are generally solid and Chesney in fine voice, displaying great, fun-loving enthusiasm and charismatically pumping life into material that would sound mediocre in the hands of a lesser talent. He sounds recharged after taking time off the road, even though he only contributes one tune - the fun but unremarkable "Reality," a slightly overproduced but otherwise fine swashbuckler. A great addition to the record is a larger than usual helping of slower, more thoughtful tunes. "Where I Grew Up," for one, is a coming-of-age tale that asks the perennial question - where did all the...Read more 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Hemingway's Whiskey (Deluxe Edition CD/DVD) (Audio CD) I bought the deluxe edition today at Target after school. It's really hard for me to choose which is my favorite song because they're all amazing. This is his more "mature" album in my opinion, some of them hit close to home.
"Coastal" is a really great and catchy, up-beat song. "You and Tequila" is one of my favorites, the rhythym of the song is so soothing, and the duet with Grace Potter is amazing. "Hemingway's Whiskey" is another smooth song, it kind of reminds me of "Something Sexy About The Rain." "I Didn't Get Here Alone" brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. I've been a fan of Kenny's since I was 12 years old, and I will be turning 18 this Saturday. It really hit me, and it just made me that much more grateful for Kenny and his music. I chose to buy Kenny's album over a WWE movie... now that's saying alot. Hope you all enjoy the album as much as I am. :) 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Hemingway's Whiskey (Audio CD) I have never listened to Kenny Chesney before as his music is not generally played on the stations I listen to. One day, however, I happened to catch Somewhere with You on the radio and I really liked it; in fact so much that I ordered the CD. Much to my delight, I'm enjoying all the songs on the CD and Kenny has a new fan! |
