    Hemingway's Whiskey, Kenny Chesney's first album in two years finds him slinging his usual mix of country beachcomber anthems and sensitive reminiscence.

    Mr. Chesney is playing with a different sort of relaxation here - not sun-bleached and fatigued, but genuinely troubled, and maybe narcotized. This is a Chesney that's only rarely appeared before.

    While there's little here that's new, Hemingway's Whiskey is another well-wrought articulation of Chesney's musical world that will doubtless make its presence felt when he returns to selling out stadiums next summer.

This album is funny, sad, sobering, hyper...Everything that is Kenny Chesney.… Full Review »
