The excitement continues to build ahead of Kenny Chesney's first ever book, HEART*LIFE*MUSIC, with the ‘Take Her Home’ chart-topper sharing a new snippet from his insightful conversation with his co-author, Holly Gleason, for TalkShopLive.
HEART*LIFE*MUSIC arrives on November 4th 2025, with the book serving as a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look into all the eclectic, entertaining and globe-trotting experiences Chesney has had over the course of his storied career so far.
As well as offering members of his loyal No Shoes Nation fanbase a closer look at some of the key moments in Kenny Chesney's evolution into one of country music's all-time greats, HEART*LIFE*MUSIC will also serve as a transformative blueprint for how readers can embrace and adopt Chesney's sunny, glass-half-full mentality.
In the newly shared clip, the country legend reflects on how, when he was aspiring to become a leading artist in the genre, it felt like it was nothing more than a moonshot.
The Knoxville native muses, “When I was growing up, like I said, lying on the ground in my grandmother's backyard, I couldn't have been further away from this moment”.
He concludes with a motivational message, “If you're out there and you're lying in your backyard, staring up at the stars in the sky with a dream, I'm telling you, it can happen. It's not for free, but this book is proof - I am proof - that the journey is worth it”.
In the caption, Chesney echoes these sentiments by outlining his vision for how he hopes HEART*LIFE*MUSIC will be used as dream-fuel for readers, “It’s not for free...But to any kid, staring at the sky, dreaming - here’s the map to making it happen”.
Kenny Chesney's releases over the years have always been permeated by a refreshingly optimistic, hopeful sense of joie-de-vivre, with the ‘Everything's Gonna Be Alright’ crooner's catalogue blossoming into far more than mere music. Chesney's discography has become synonymous with his island-inspired, freedom-oriented lifestyle, with listeners utilising his songs as little drops of galvanising, perspective-shifting nuggets of wisdom. Chesney and Gleason's eagerly awaited HEART*LIFE*MUSIC will be a refreshing, illuminating extension of this.
