Kenny Chesney Be As You Are Country Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Country artist Kenny Chesney has
released him CD entitled Be As You Are. I am very confident and
happy to announce that I believe Kenny Chesney fans, and Country
fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Be
As You Are Kenny Chesney's artistic excellence is on full
display as Chesney has once again delivered a brilliant
collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to
date.

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a
CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen
to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I
just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with
Be As You Are. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for
me to listen to from start to finish.

Kenny Chesney possesses the characteristic of being able to win
you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I really
enjoy listening to.

I'm of the opinion that Be As You Are is certainly Kenny
Chesney's best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and
an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it
two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual
Country fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout
tunes are track 2 - Be As You Are, track 3 - Guitars And Tiki
Bars, and track 7 - Something Sexy About The Rain.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On
REpeat"] is track 10 - Sherry's Living In Paradise. Wow!
