Kenny Chesney Joins BMI
It’s official: Kenny Chesney has joined the BMI family of songwriters. Equally potent writing his own work or recording gems penned by others, he has spent the last decade and a half delivering some of country music’s most finely crafted smashes. Whether infectiously carefree or startlingly—and perhaps painfully—perceptive, a Kenny Chesney hit is timeless. The long list includes “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems,” “The Good Stuff,” “I Go Back,” “Don’t Blink,” “There Goes My Life,” “She’s Got It All,” “I’m Alive,” “Old Blue Chair,” “Beer in Mexico,” “You Had Me From Hello,” “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” “Never Wanted Nothing More,” “Take Me There,” “Living in Fast Forward,” “Young,” “That’s Why I’m Here,” “Back Where I Come From,” “Me and You,” “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven,” and “Somewhere with You,” which became his twenty-first #1 single earlier this year.
