Country superstar Kenny Chesney (music) has settled on "Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates" as the title of his next album, and has dished out the set's first single, "Never Wanted Nothing More."
"I tried on so many titles," Chesney said in a press release. "But, in the end, it was the simplest name that fit this record the best. 'Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates' pretty much says it all ... At the end of the day, you strip it all off, and that's what it comes down to: great songs that are about the smallest things and people who're living just beyond the rules.
"I mean, a lot of my friends in the islands, they're living the pirate life," he continued, "and you could say that anyone living on the road, always waking up somewhere else, they're living the pirate life, too. But I think a lot of my fans, they're really the pirates. You know, they show up at the office, but their souls never leave the ocean or the lake or wherever they get away to. Their spirit is free, even though they look like one more 9-to-5'er or shiftworker."
"Never Wanted Nothing More" hit radio stations Monday (6/4), according to a press release. The forthcoming album, meanwhile, does not yet have a firm release date, nor a finalized tracklisting.
Chesney is working on the album while mounting a tour that will keep him on the road through early September.
