Songs For The Saints:
Wikipedia:
Songs for the Saints is the seventeenth studio album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released on July 27, 2018 via Warner Bros. Records Nashville and Blue Chair Records. The album's content was inspired by Hurricane Irma.
The album is Chesney's first release for Warner Bros. Records Nashville, to which he signed in early 2018. Chesney produced it with longtime producer Buddy Cannon. "Get Along" was released on April 6, 2018 as the first single. Chesney co-wrote five of the twelve songs on the album. Ziggy Marley performs duet vocals on "Love for Love City", Jimmy Buffett appears on a cover of his own "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season", and Mindy Smith provides backing vocals on "Better Boat". Lord Huron's "Ends of the Earth" is also covered on the album.
According to Chesney, the album was inspired by "the rebuilding process" after Hurricane Irma, which destroyed a house that he owned in Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands. Proceeds from the album will be donated to Hurricane Irma disaster relief funds.
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:
A boat graces the cover of Songs for the Saints, a visual that usually suggests sunny good times from Kenny Chesney. Beaches are one of his specialties, so it would follow that this 2018 album -- his first record for Warner, after departing his longtime home of Sony -- is a breezy affair. That's true to an extent: superficially, it's a relaxed, tuneful collection, one that creates and sustains a mellow mood. Still, there's a reason why this is called Songs for the Saints, and it's not related to religion. Chesney assembled the album in the wake of 2017's Hurricane Irma, a storm that devastated the Caribbean. Among its victims was a house of Chesney's in St. John. Recognizing his own loss was minor, the singer took stock of how Irma changed the lives of so many in the path of the storm, and decided to craft Songs for the Saints as something of a tribute to what these islands mean. Songs for the Saints does have an undercurrent of melancholy running through a few of its tunes, yet its tone isn't sorrowful. Chesney celebrates the very feel of island culture, drawing upon the scenery, legends, weather, and friendship that come with the sand, sun, and sea. This focus on a warm, hazy vibe separates Songs for the Saints from such introspective Chesney albums as Hemingway's Whiskey, which are studied in their sobriety. Here, he winds up finding depth within his signature mellow good times, and the result is one of Chesney's best records: it goes down smooth yet lingers in the memory long after its gone.
