It's been 17 months since the release of When The Sun Goes Down, Kenny Chesney's last full-on studio release, but the time between has been well-invested in writing, listening and making music. "We've been keeping plenty busy," Chesney says with a laugh. "But I think by now everybody knows, not a day goes by that I'm not thinking about the music. And it seemed like we started looking for songs almost as soon as Sun dropped... and we got to hear some pretty great stuff, too."

The title track -The Road & The Radio - about seeking one's truth behind the wheel with the radio as one's truest companion -- was written by Chesney. "You know," says the reigning CMA and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, "when I looked at what my life was and how it is, there are a few things that have remained constant. You can find your answers out on the road -- or listening to the radio, and it's certainly they way I've always lived my life. Touring around and listening to the story people tell me about the songs I've cut, I realize a lot of other people live their life between the white lines and the grooves in the road, too." Look for Chesney's next album Nov. 8th.
