BONUS KENNY

If you buy a copy of Kenny Chesney’s new album, When The Sun Goes Down, at Target, you’ll also get a special bonus CD, Kenny Chesney Uncovered. Included on the bonus disc are Kenny’s stripped down versions of Keith Whitley's "I Wonder Do You Think of Me,” George Strait's "Marina Del Rey," George Jones' "I Always Get Lucky With You," Jimmy Buffett's "Come Monday" and Bruce Springsteen's “I'm On Fire.” “When we were up in Minneapolis for the Mall of America event for ‘All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan,’” says Kenny, “we got to talking about records we all liked, and the idea grew out of that. It seemed like such a cool thing – the opportunity to record some of the songs I really love. So I figured, ‘Why not?’” Word is that Jimmy Buffett’s already heard Kenny’s version of “Come Monday” - and placed his stamp of approval on it.
