THE BATTALION Wednesday, October Hi
Country singer Kenny Chesney
visits Aggieland Thursday
Me
By Lizette Resendez
THE BATTALION
Kenny Chesney said he is looking to deliver a
high-energy performance to a high-energy
crowd Thursday night.
“This isn't a show where people come in and
sit down and listen to the music,” he said.
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. Chesney has had mores
10 of his songs become Billboard Top
Singles including “Fall in Love," “Meandl
“.She's Got It All” and “What 1 Need to Do
latest song, “It Don't Happen Twice"
already hit No. 1.
Chesney said his favorite part of mala
CD is watching a demo become a songoa
album and, eventually a hit.
While Chesney seems to have been si
steady rise to fame since 1996, many fans
remember the “police horse incident” in

with police when Chesney rodeoffuia
policeman’s horse. After a two-hour j:
deliberation, McGraw and Chesney»
acquitted in May 2001.
“It was something that got blown wayoai
proportion.” Chesney said. “I'm just glad
judge saw that we didn't do anything wrong
Chesney said despite his success, he is
able to keep in touch with his family
friends, including McGraw.
