Country superstar Kenny Chesney‘s album title track “Song for the Saints” provides fans with a message of strength, courage, and resilience all rolled into one. While the Tennessee native was creating his upcoming album, he was also in the middle of helping his friends in the Caribbean after two life-altering hurricanes.
“There’s so much to say, and so much music on this record,” Kenny explains. “Knowing where to start was hard and easy, because this is the song that really holds everything together. It’s a tribute to those islands and their unstoppable spirit. Even as people were coming off the islands — some just to not tax the limited resources — so many of my friends were digging in, trying to figure out what needed to be done and getting on to the work of clearing debris, creating habitable space for those staying and reminding all of us how island strong they all are.”

Songs for the Saints will be released on July 27th and the star is currently in his Trip Around The Sun Tour.
“When I arrived on St. John, on a day off after taking a ferry all by myself, I walked down a street in a very special place and heard George Jones floating out a door of a bar,” Kenny recalls about falling in love with the islands. “I walked in, sat on a barstool and found people from all over the country who had hearts like mine: dreamers who were free spirits, living a way that made sense to them.”
“I left that day, went back out on tour, but kept going back, because it was a place I not only fit, but felt like I could disappear. I was a young adult, and I made some of the best friends of my life on those islands – and this is my way of giving back.”
