Kenny Chesney<\/strong><\/a> not only released his latest single, \u201cPirate Flag,\u201d on Thursday, he also announced the title of his new album. Life On a Rock<\/em> will hit stores April 30. Co-produced by Kenny and his longtime producer Buddy Cannon, the 10-track project was recorded in Los Angeles, Hawaii, Jamaica, Key West, London and Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all depends on what kind of rock you\u2019re looking at,\u201d Kenny said of the title. \u201cJust living here on this planet, we\u2019re all living life on a rock; but for me, and for this record, it\u2019s about the way life is when you live on an island. Everywhere you go, there\u2019s everyone you know; you know everything about them, and they know everything about you\u2026 and well, that\u2019s just a whole other way to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd coming from Luttrell, Tennessee, I can tell you, \u2018life on a rock\u2019 isn\u2019t all that different from life in a real small town,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s slower, it\u2019s easier, it\u2019s more invested and it\u2019s also more about really enjoying the moments as they are, when they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPirate Flag\u201d has already been named \u2018Song of the Week\u2019 by USA Today<\/em> in their Listen Up! column. Life On A Rock<\/em> runs the spectrum, including introspective ballads, a duet with Willie Nelson<\/strong><\/a> and even a bit of reggae. It also celebrates the life most people live without realizing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, what defines life for most people, certainly for me, are the people you share it with,\u201d Kenny said. \u201cWhen you live in close proximity, you share the highs and lows of everyday life and become close in ways you can\u2019t even explain. Years go by\u2026 People move on\u2026 But that time, those friends remain with you no matter where you go. That\u2019s where the treasures of being alive are found.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first went to the islands, I met a lot of people who were making a life beyond anything any of them knew,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey were boatmen, bartenders, waitresses, real estate folks. They were all loving life, living a dream and coloring outside the lines with this real sense of freedom; they took a country singer from East Tennessee into their tribe at a time when having friends outside everything I knew was important. Time passes, life moves on, but those friends lasted, and this album in a lot of ways is about the power of that kind of friendship to endure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenny will kick off his No Shoes Nation Tour on March 16 in Tampa.<\/p>\n
