Kenny Chesney Releasing New Album 'The Big Revival' in September
. Fans got their first taste when Chesney released lead single "American Kids" just two weeks ago, and today he unveiled a new music video for the song. That's big news, but it doesn't stop there. The country superstar also chose Monday (June 30) to unveil the title of his new album, The Big Revival, and to announce that the collection will drop on Sept. 23. "The whole point of taking the time to get to a really creative place was to have the room to look at not what we'd done, but where we wanted to go," Chesney said in a press release about the album. "After all this time, if I can't push myself and give the fans something that inspires them, that gets them pumped up, there's no reason to just make a record to make a record." The Big Revival is coproduced by Chesney and his longtime producer Buddy Cannon. Willie Nelson fans will also recognize Cannon's name, as he produced Nelson's recently released Band of Brothers and cowrote nine of the album's songs with Nelson. Chesney's 11-song album The Big Revival promises to feature uptempo rockers as well as ballads and also includes guest appearances by Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski and Grace Potter (who previously sang a duet with Chesney, "You and Tequila"). "I think in anyone's life, there are times when you just need to shake things up, really push yourself and find the thrill of what you do again," Chesney continued. "I went to dirt floor church revivals with my grandma as a little kid, and that power is electric. Scared me to death, but it shows you what it means to be alive. I think bringing that sort of passion to how you live your life is everything - and it's so easy to lose touch with." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
