Product description CD: Kenny Chesney,Welcome To The Fishbowl Review The sanitised sound of New Nashville and what has become the soulless swagger of Music Row might rankle country purists, but identikit singers with Teflon stubble have been swelling stadiums stateside for over two decades.Tennessee’s Kenny Chesney might not be a familiar name in the UK – he’s probably best known as the former Mr Renée Zellweger – but back home he’s huge. He released his debut album in 1994 and has since spread his straightforward brand of cowboy hat-wearing back-porch pop over 15 albums, including Welcome to the Fishbowl.This new album’s first single, Feel Like a Rock Star, sees Chesney teaming up with fellow country superstar Tim McGraw for an unapologetic cashing in on Nickelback’s Rockstar, which is a counterfeit copy in everything from melody and lyrics to sentiment. Lacing a rip-off with a vague hillbilly twang, Kenny, does not make it any less shameless.Chesney shouldn’t take all the blame though, as he didn’t write the song. In fact, it’s interesting to note that he actually only co-penned three of this album’s tracks; and even then he was helped out by prolific songwriter Skip Ewing.The massive team behind Welcome to the Fishbowl is proof positive that this record – like the rest of Chesney’s multi-million selling back catalogue – is aimed squarely at the mainstream. These songs are genetically engineered to be both supremely catchy and intensely wet.Tugging on the heartstrings seems to be Chesney’s favoured fallback, with the album’s more buoyant moments and familiar, mountaintop guitar riffs eclipsed by the slushy El Cerrito Place and the god-bothering balladry of Always Gonna Be You.Then there’s the mawkish Sing ‘Em Good My Friend, an uncomplicated musing on mortality that features some more lightweight bible-bashing and bald couplets such as “I’m gonna cry right now and that’s okay / We’re all going die someday”. We don’t imagine that Wordsworth will bother spinning in his grave over that one.Welcome to the Fishbowl is already a chart-topping record in the United States, but one suspects it’ll take more than this to make Chesney a household name on UK shores. --Kate Hutchinson Find more music at the BBC This link will take you off in a new window

Some beautiful and sentimental songs on this album
Some beautiful and sentimental songs on this album. WHILE HE STILL KNOWS WHO I AM will touch the hearts of anyone whose parent is suffering from Altzheimers or Dementia. I'M A SMALL TOWN makes us all aprreciate the place we grew up and YOU AND TEQUILA is a great song about trying to keep your distance from a passionate but toxic relationship.Great delivery time-it arrived in to days!

Welcome To The Fishbowl
Sebbene sia etichettato come "Country", questo album ha davvero poco di country. E questa non è necessariamente una cattiva cosa. In realtà è un album molto più orientato verso il pop, ma che si mantiene sempre molto genuino e naturale.Contiene i singoli "Come Over" (#1 nella classifica Country e #23 nella Hot 100), "Feel like a rockstar" (#11 nella classifica Country) e "El Cerrito Place" (#10 nella classifica Country). Le migliori tracce, oltre alle stesse "El Cerrito Place" e "Come Over", sono "Sing' Em Good My friend", "Makes Me Wonder" e una versione live del singolo "You And Tequila", che raggiunse la posizione #3 della classifica country nel 2011.Ottimo album, molto piacevole d'ascoltare soprattutto d'estate.

Ottima musica
Kenny ha davvero composto un bellissimo album, con brani molto coinvolgenti come El Cerrito Place ,While He still knows Who I am ,tanto per citarne alcuni .Ma tutto il lavoro è decisamente bello e vale sicuramente l'acquisto, soprattutto perchè con l'autorip vi trovate subito scaricati gli MP3 di queste bellissime composizioni. Consiglio ad occhi chiusi

Angenehmer Country-Rock
Schönes Album mit rockigem Country und leiseren Balladen. Meines Erachtens sind die Kompositionen einfalls- und abwechslungsreicher als beim zuvor erschienenen "Hemingway's Whiskey". Es ist kein einziger nerviger Song auf der CD weshalb man hier nicht rumzappen muss sondern das komplette Werk genießen kann. Fazit: tolles Album was zu jeder Tages- oder Nachtzeit Spaß macht anzuhören!

This Kenny Chesney CD is a bit different than a lot of his other CD's but I still enjoyed it as I love his singing.

A good buy
Kenny has one of those wonderful voices that makes every song his own. This album has just the right blend of toe tapping tunes and mellow music. Truly an enjoyable listen

Nouvel adapte du country
La musique country m'a toujours laisse indifferent, jusqu'au jour ou j'ai entendu Come over the Kenny Chesney. Musique pour les voyages en voiture

FANTASTIQUE
J'ADORE CETTE VARIANTE DE LA COUNTRY EN LA PERSONNE DE KENNY CHESNEY. DE JOLIES COMPOSITIONS ENTRE ROCK COUNTRY, ET UN PEU DE MELANCOLIE COMME SEULES LE COUNTRYMEN SAVENT LE FAIRE.

Un peu déçu !
Album intérressant, mais ennuyeux au bout de la 15° écoute...toujours la même sauce.Ses quatre derniers albums sont un peu tous pareils, dommage car ses premiers albums étaient plus tonic et trés sympas.
