His newish album shows his free spirited personality. He really hit the jackpot on this one because his songs are still on the top 20\u2019s chart and the album was released back in September of 2014. I\u2019ve compiled a few songs I think everyone should hear on the Big Revival album and given them my two cents.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Kenny Chesney with Grace Potter - Wild Child (Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0WuZnfIf8-o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Wild Child\u2019 has been named one of his signature songs for the Big Revival album, which in my opinion matches him perfectly. Girls listen up because, <a href=\"http:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/kenny-chesney-wild-child\/\">\u201cChesney admits the song kind of describes every girl he\u2019s ever been attracted to.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0He opens up to the world revealing a life of chasing and running. He chases girls that are free spirited while he is the same, unable to be tamed. Maybe he\u2019s calling out to tell all the girls how to treat him?<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Kenny Chesney - American Kids (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/de1aPKXBdAE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another song in his album that I feel truly captures the essence of Kenny is \u2018American Kids.\u2019 Barefooted for this entire video, Kenny invites his audience to come and celebrate life with him. I think almost everyone can relate to this song from riding school busses to making out on your living room couch. I know I can. It brings back memories that make me want to sway with the music and clap along.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Kenny Chesney - Til It&#039;s Gone (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nj2V2BUUpYc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Til It\u2019s Gone\u2019 adds on to Chesney\u2019s emphasis on living life to the fullest. \u201cOne life, one chance\u2026 You and me still holding on right down to the last song.\u201d He\u2019s not going to quit living early. Instead he is going to hold on till the very end and enjoy every bit of it. I always feel like life passes by so quickly, moving from semester to semester not stopping or slowing down.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Kenny Chesney - Beer Can Chicken (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IxoCJkVOVqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the little things that make life worth livin\u201d sings Chesney in \u2018Beer Can Chicken.\u2019 Bringing it back to the roots, Chesney reminds me of the times I would spend in the back yard giggling when my dad would pour some of his beer on the chicken. These memories remind me that it\u2019s not always about the big things in life. Something as simple as BBQ chicken can make your life worth living.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Kenny Chesney - Save It for a Rainy Day (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XT1GESit3SU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I find \u2018Save It For A Rainy Day\u2019 empowering. I wont let anything or anybody hold me down. There will be days that I can think about the people that hurt me, but for now I am going to enjoy my life and these perfect sunny, spring days. This song picks up its listeners with a big smile and a pat, sayin&#8217; chin up kid and keep on kickin\u2019 butt.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this album is refreshing and makes me want take my life and live it to the fullest every day so I don\u2019t miss a beat. I hope everyone finds it as uplifting as I do. P.S. to all my southern girls who ever need an uplifting Chesney says, \u201cSouthern girls are God\u2019s gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no woman finer than one raised below the Mason-Dixon line and once you go southern may the good Lord help you-you may never go back.\u201d Kenny loves us, what more could we ask for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a long time country music lover I feel the need to introduce ya\u2019ll to my all time favorite Kenny Chesney.
