Kenny Chesney’s ‘Born’ Gets Classic Vinyl Treatment
Kenny Chesney will release a two-disc vinyl edition of his latest album, Born, on May 24.
The hitmaker reportedly contemplated creating a vinyl pressing of the project, but knew all 15 tracks couldn’t fit on one disc. Chesney didn’t want to exclude any of the tunes, so he developed two discs to provide fans with the needle-on-vinyl experience.
“I’m lucky,” says Chesney. “I have fans who still believe in the actual listening experience, starting an album at the beginning and taking the journey the songs are creating. Experiencing and asking ‘How does this music define a moment or a state of life? How does it color or reflect my mind?’ So much of my own life’s been defined by what I was listening to over the years, and still is. That’s a whole different way of consuming music than just a hit. Knowing that, I decided to go ahead and do vinyl. It’s a limited run, but it’s there for all the people who put on albums and make that kind of listening a destination. For anyone who sinks into the songs, this is for you.”
The Born vinyl will be available for preorder this Thursday (April 18) at 11 p.m. CT. For more information, click here. Additionally, Chesney will kick off the “Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour” at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida this Saturday (April 20).
