BEVERLY HILLS — Kenny Chesney is one of country music’s biggest stars. And now, he’s conquering the publishing world. HIs new book, “Heart Life Music,” has already topped two “New York Times” best seller lists. He’s sharing some of his life with his fans through pages instead of stages.
” I didn’t see this coming, you know, me being an author. And I wrote this book, ‘Heart Life Music,’ with my friend, Holly Gleason. And I’m very proud of it,” said Chesney.”
“Heart Life Music” is filled with stories from Kenny Chesney’s life. He called his recent book tour more fun than he’s had in a long time…and completely unlike anything he’s ever done. He joined fans at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills to talk about his work.
In his new book, Kenny has plenty of stories to share from his 30+ years on the road.
“When people crack the book open, they’re gonna be on the road with me,” said Chesney. “They’re gonna be when I was a child in my grandmother’s kitchen when I first heard this music and it was like God tapping me on the shoulder in a way.”
Kenny has a career full of hit songs… very successful concert tours… plenty of awards… and a love for music. In the book, he writes about his musical heroes.
“The first time I saw Bruce Springsteen, it blew my mind,” said Chesney. “But see, I didn’t know the genius of Bruce until I got into college. Or Jimmy Buffett. Or Bob Marley and the Whalers. Or a lot of these people who have become a big part of my life. I knew who Steve Miller was cuz I had his greatest hits in my car ever day.
Kenny’s recent hit, “You Had To Be There,” is with Megan Moroney.
“Last summer, Megan was out with us and after the second show, I mean, she walked on stage like she built it. And it was unbelievable to see,” said Chesney. “There was magic in the air. You had to be there. You had to be there.”
The duo will be at “The CMA Awards” next week. He’s a nominee and a performer. Chesney says expect something fun. “Well, it’s gonna be upbeat. It’s gonna be positive. It’s gonna be fun. And it’s gonna be live!”
