Chesney,Kenny When The Sun Goes Down
When the Sun Goes Down is the sequel to Kenny Chesney's 2002 release, the multi-platinum No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems. For that album Chesney found a batch of songs that perfectly captured the scary no-man's land between adolescence and adulthood, precisely where the bulk of his followers happened to live. On When the Sun Goes Down the protagonists are older, with kids on the way and hectic jobs that rob them of leisure time. In fantasising about those college keg parties and hedonism after dark, they search for a sigh of relief. Chesney understands this, and his own changes, too.

Emotionally he's more at home in his own skin, and since his voice has become deeper and wider, he sounds increasingly confident in the studio, besting guest artist Uncle Kracker on the title song, a warmed-over Jimmy Buffett vibe. He's also matured as a writer. The majority of his four songs, two co-written with others, are no match for "There Goes My Life", the powerful unwed father ballad that served as the album's first single, or even "When I Think About Leavin'", another tune about standing at the crossroads. But his memorable "Being Drunk's a Lot Like Loving You" will burrow deep in your psyche and prove Chesney a fine guide to confronting pain. Better keep this one handy. --Alanna Nash



REVIEW
Dynamite on stage, gnomic and unassuming in the flesh, Tennessee-born Chesney has been slowly and steadily crafting his career for nearly fifteen years. But it wasn't until 2002's triple platinum No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems album that he really hit the big time. Tickets for the accompanying Margaritas 'n' Senoritas tour were snapped up hungrily by those looking for the energetic, glitter cannon-filled entertainment you get from by older showmen such as Brooks & Dunn and Garth Brooks, combined with a style of reassuringly masculine country picked up from Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson.

Eager to maintain momentum, it wasn't long before Chesney was back in the studio working on his next release. If No Shoes... tried a little too hard to achieve that perfect carefree-yet-mature tone, When The Sun Goes Down is more relaxed and consistent, as if, seven albums in, he is only just hitting his stride. Nowadays the protagonists in his songs have no time to wonder if ''She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy'' because they're too busy dealing with unplanned pregnancies (lead-off single ''There Goes My Life''), trying not to repeat the sins of their fathers (''Some People Change'') and sitting in their ''Old Blue Chair''...

Chesney co-produces the album with long-time producer (and Reba McEntire favourite), Buddy Cannon. Apart from the title track, a duet with Detroit rap DJ Uncle Kracker (don't worry, it's more Jimmy Buffett than Kid Rock), it is very much Chesney's show. He even gets a few songwriting credits - you've got to pay for that yacht in the Caribbean somehow - on ''Being Drunk's A Lot Like Loving You'', ''I Go Back'', ''Old Blue Chair'' and ''Keg In The Closet''. That very American brand of nostalgia runs through these songs, which means that back home he'll get undeserved leniency for opening lines like: ''We had a dog named Bocephus in the front yard, he liked sleeping out on top of the car''.

The excitement of his live shows is captured in the three bonus tracks at the end. Two older numbers, ''Live Those Songs'' and ''What I Need To Do'' are followed by ''Please Come To Boston'', originally a hit for Dave Loggins in 1974 and later covered by Reba, Joan Baez and Willie Nelson. The contrasting lack of recognition for this song and the high pitch screams suggest that he's playing to a youthful audience; a positive sign that country music still means something to the Britney generation. --Sue Keogh
