Kenny Chesney Builds On ‘Here And Now’ Success With New Deluxe Version
Kenny Chesney is expanding upon his album Here And Now with a new deluxe edition, available for preorder beginning March 26 and set for release May 7.
Here And Now Deluxe includes four diverse new tracks: “Wind On” (David Lee Murphy and Rodney Clawson), “Fields of Glory” (Josh Osborne, Ashley Gorley and Ross Copperman), “My Anthem” (Osborne, Shane McAnally and Jason Gantt) ,and “Streets,” (co-written with Tom Douglas).
“Being home, writing with friends, recording with people who inspire you,” Chesney says, “this time has taught me to really be in the moment, to share more music. Some of these songs will spark an immediate hunger for things we all love; some of them I think people will think about for days and days after they hear them. With so much still unsettled, I didn’t want to wait any more to share them.”
Chesney’s new single, “Knowing You,” was just released and has pressed the album back up the charts. “This isn’t about death, or losing someone to the other side,” Chesney explains about the new track. “It can be a lover who’s left or group of friends who came together, dreamed together, then went off to chase those things. You may never be together again, but that moment—no matter where you are—you can close your eyes and remember everything about the people, the places, the joy comes right back. Those people, those experiences change you. You’re better for them if you’ll see them for what they were and how they made you better. So I’m really happy to know that what I heard when I first heard the demo is how other people are feeling whether they see the video, stream it somewhere or hear it on radio. And because of that, too, I’m glad we’re making this Deluxe available now. If you love ‘Knowing You’ and this album, we’re making it even a little bit more special.”
Chesney recently announced he is pushing his 2021 stadium tour to next year due to current pandemic capacity restrictions.
