Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m., the first show of Chesney’.s tour will begin with special guests Sara Evans and Gary Allen. Chesney first played in College Station at Hurricane Harry’s in 1996 to a very enthusiastic crowd. This Thursday, he will meet his fans at a much bigger venue — Reed Arena. Chesney said he hopes his fans know he is just one of the guys. “I want them to know I'm just a regular guy,” Chesney said. “When I put on my hat and go on stage, I become an artist.” Chesney, a Tennessee native, counts George Strait, the Eagles and Lynard Skynard as some of his influences. Chesney got his start as a song* However, now that he has risen to fame,he he no longer has time to compose songsas as he would like. He must rely on other writers and his gift for picking great song: Chesney said the hardest part of albums is choosing which songs arejustrigl “I think my least favorite part, and if most important part, of making an choosing the songs,” Chesney said. Chesney and his band record more than tracks and must choose only 12. The trad chosen for the album go to “never, never Chesney said. “I think we’ve been able to get our hand: some really great songs,” Chesney said. Apparently so.
