When
Kenny heard "Pirate Flag," he knew it was an anthem for his
No Shoes Nation. With its driving beat, the song of eschewing it all struck a chord with the 4 consecutive
Academy of Country Music and 4 time Country Music Association
Entertainer of the Year who's made a career out of coloring outside the
obvious - and his instincts have been
validated by USA Today five days
before "Pirate Flag" even hits the airwaves.
"Every now and then, you come upon a song that says everything you
feel," Chesney admits with a laugh. "For me, when I heard it, I just
went, 'Yeah...' Because it captures the way freedom feels, that pumping
in your blood when you know you've got two days and nobody to answer to. I'm
glad to know USA Today hears what I felt... It's easy to just shrug
stuff off, act like 'Been there, done that.' But sometimes you've got
something, and it won't let go. I guess they sense that hold (this song
has), too."
