Country music continues to demonstrate its mass appeal by increasing album sales and dominating radio. Now, country artists have also proven they can sell out concert venues just as well as artists of other genres.
Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney made the Top 10 list of 2009’s highest-grossing tours, based on ticket sales. U2 came in at No.1, followed by Bruce Springsteen, Phish, Taylor and Britney Spears. Kenny landed at No.9, beating out Metallica, who rounded out the list.
By all appearances, Taylor, who is Billboard’s Artist of the Year is already in the running for 2010, after recently announcing she’s extending her ‘Fearless’ tour into next year. Meanwhile, Kenny’s slot will be available for another artist, while he enjoys an extended time off from the road.
The collaboration between old friends Kenny Chesney and Mac McAnally on Down the Road earned the pair a Grammy nomination for Best Country Vocal Collaboration for the 2010 Grammy Awards.
“Once I knew I’d found a place to do ‘Down The Road,’ I knew I wanted to capture the essence of what Mac was writing about… because it’s a quiet song about the way love grows in small towns,” Chesney said. “It was less is more; but when you’ve got Mac McAnally singing with you, what else do you really need? And Mac was gracious enough to come in and be a part of this song on my record.”
Basically one acoustic guitar and the two men’s voices, Down the Road topped the charts for two weeks. The song – originally written on a Christmas morning as McAnally was waiting for his children to wake up and open their presents – earned them a Country Music Association nomination for Vocal Event of the Year and serving as one of the centerpieces of Chesney’s special one hour edition of PBS’ acclaimed series “Austin City Limits.”
“Some things are just magic and you know,” said Chesney. “I knew the first time I heard Mac sing this on his Simple Life record… the same place I heard ‘Back Where I Come From.’ It gets inside and lets you understood everything about life you don’t even realize.”
“So it makes sense the Grammy people – who’re from all musical genres – would recognize this song and the heart Mac brings. For a little record like this – as big as country radio can be – to spend a couple weeks at the top of the charts, it touched people. So I’m honored to share this with my friend.”
The song was the final single from” Lucky Old Sun,” a more personal project from Chesney.
“I’m blessed by the wonderful friends I’ve found through music and how generously they’ve shared their talent, songs and lives with me,” Chesney said. “When something like a Grammy nomination happens for something that was just an honor, I can only feel humbled – and grateful.”

Bon Jovi [ tickets ], Kenny Chesney [ tickets ] and the Dave Matthews Band [ tickets ] top the list of performers confirmed for a new multi-day outdoor festival set for next July at Churchill Downs, legendary home of the Kentucky Derby.
The HullabaLOU Music Festival will feature more than 65 bands spread across three days (July 23-25) at the Louisville, KY, racetrack, according to a press release.
Performers representing “classic rock, country, adult contemporary and Bluegrass” will perform on five stages during the event, which is “designed to be an annual event,” according to organizers.
Other acts and performers scheduled to appear include Jason Aldean, Colbie Caillat, Loretta Lynn, The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, Joan Osborne, Michael McDonald, Dwight Yoakam and many others. A complete listing of confirmed talent can be found at the event’s website.
“The performers scheduled to appear at HullabaLOU will instantly put the event on the map of major music festivals in the country, and be one of the top festival entertainment options in 2010,” said consulting producer Quint Davis, who also serves as producer and director of the New Orleans Jazz Fest.
Ticket prices will range from $60 for a one-day general admission pass to $975 for a three-day VIP admission, according to a press release. Tickets go on sale Dec. 4 at noon local time.
Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that my dream Christmas holiday would be spent on a tropical island with twinkling lights hanging in palm trees. On this blistery, cold day in Nashville, I find myself transporting my mind and soul south of the border with the help of Kenny Chesney’s All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan. Filled with classic favorites like “Silent Night” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” his 2003 album also has duets from Randy Owen and Willie Nelson, along with an island-themed “Jingle Bells.” If you’re feeling the winter blues like me, try the new DVD version, All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan (Christmas Classics — the Yule Edition). It plays the full album with holiday-themed backgrounds so I can curl up on the couch and let my mind drift to an island getaway.
Kenny Chesney supports his friends who have entered the world of reality TV — including Trace Adkins, Julianne Hough, Sara Evans and Tanya Tucker — but he insists he will never join them.
“Never! No, my life’s real enough,” he told Canadian radio station CJDC when asked if he’d ever star in a reality TV show. “I would rather concentrate on trying to connect with fans in the audience and trying to write a great song and cut great music, and that takes up a lot of time, to be honest with you. I don’t think you’ll ever see me do that.”
Kenny will be seen on the big screen this summer, when his tour movie, ‘Summer in 3-D’ comes out, but he has no aspirations to become a movie star like his buddy Tim McGraw. “I’ve even had a lot of people ask me if I want to act. I’m never saying never, but it’s not something I wake up everyday wanting to do, and so I don’t think I’d ever take a year off to go do a movie or something. I wouldn’t be that good at it anyway. I think I realized doing the ‘You Save Me’ video where it took us three days to shoot three minutes of an opening of a video. I realized right then I wanted my day job back — that I was never gonna have the patience to act .”
After making his Sun City Carnival trek the top tour of 2009, Kenny plans on taking a break from the road next year, but not from music entirely. He is already back in the studio working on his next album.
I just added the trailer for Kenny Cheney’s new 3D movie to KennyTV, as well as captures of the trailer. Both the trailer and the captures are HD. Enjoy!
