''Hemingway's Whiskey'' is the thirteenth studio album by American country music artist Kenny Chesney, released on September 28, 2010, by BNA Records. This album received generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at #1 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling approximately 183,000 units in its first week, and has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA. It produced five singles on ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs chart between 2010-2011. Four of those five singles "The Boys of Fall", "Somewhere with You", "Live a Little", and "Reality" have all number 1. ==Background== In an interview with ''The Boot'', Chesney explained the reasoning behind the title of his new release, citing the influence of Guy Clark, saying "I was sitting in my truck and a friend had given me Guy's album, which had just come out. It's a song that talks about living life to its fullest, being a man about your responsibilities and not compromising. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to cut it -- and call the album that -- because it says everything about the way you live your life, and what life can be if you refuse to buy into limits, which, as someone who's read all his books, is everything Hemingway's novels revolved around." In a ''CMT'' blog, Chesney also commented saying that he wanted the album to be "something more " than its predecessor, ''Lucky Old Sun'': "I came to town to write songs, to make records, to create something that spoke about how I lived, and the people who I knew who were just like me and my friends lived." "Small Y'all", a duet with George Jones, was previously recorded by Jones on his 1998 album ''It Don't Get Any Better Than This'', and before that by Randy Travis on his 1994 album ''This Is Me''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hemingway's Whiskey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
