Reviews
Kenny Chesney is a very talented artist, who is sometimes overlooked and underrated in country music. His Country musics are great. His single, You Had Me From Hello is got to be one of the most enjoyable country songs I have heard. Kenny is such an awesome singer. He is flawless whether it be an uptempo song or ballad he can deliver the goods. I really enjoy his uptempo tunes especially one of his single, Ain't That Love it's such a feel good track with fun inspiring lyrics. -- Autolady006 05:11, 24 February 2007 (PST)
