For his huge, rabid, and largely female fan base, the country hunk can do no wrong, and this release will satisfy the faithful. Though the title makes no sense--Chesney wrote none of the material on Just Who I Am, and it’s unlikely he thinks of himself as plural poets and pirates--the material, performances, and support rank from solid to state-of-the-art. He waxes philosophic on the hit "Don’t Blink." He teams with George Strait for the Caribbean-flavored "Shiftwork," a song that will doubtlessly inspire double-entendre barroom sing-alongs. He channels of the soul of a stripper who’s just trying to support her family on "Dancin’ for the Groceries." And he does a convincing Dwight Yoakam sound-alike on the honky-tonker’s "Wild Ride," with Eagles’ Joe Walsh riding shotgun on lead guitar (and "Rocky Mountain Way" voice box). When you’re as hot as Chesney, you get your pick of material and musicians, including Vince Gill on guitar and Mickey Raphael on harmonica. Chesney may be more of a brand than an artist, but he remains a remarkably successful one. --Don McLeese

Here is yet another silver platter of wonderful songs by Kenny Chesney. To date, he has released more than a dozen great albums since his debut in the mid-1990s. Like his previous recordings, this album is starting to churn out great hits, as well as containing a bunch of great songs overall. Many of the tracks deal with real life issues, and some are just down right fun.
The first track "Never Wanted Nothing More" is about having fun and that little moments, relationships with family and friends, finding the Lord, and being happy with what you have are the things that are important. "Don't Blink" is a story of an old man recounting important events in his life and noting how quickly time passes. A soft ballad, "Better As A Memory" illustrates that he prefers to keep moving on rather than staying in one place. The duet "Shiftwork", is an island style song about going to work out of necessity and not really enjoying it, yet the money the employee earns allows him to go on vacation.
Another island song is the reggae piece "Got A Little Crazy" in which the character got wild drinking a lot, and waking up with a girl, and having fun last night. A fun song is "Wild Ride", a high-energy duet with Joe Walsh, laced with guitar work and synthesized falsetto voice. Either one of these would make a great single for the airwaves. "Just Not Today" recognizes that he needs to grow up and face responsibilities someday, but for now, he wants to enjoy the fun ... Read More

Kenny keeps shelling out hits and this album is one of my favorites. "Almost a memory" is about my favorite song out right now and "Don't Blink" is a great reminder of what is important in life.

I was kind of disappointed in this cd, especially after hearing the first two singles and all the hype building up this CD.
It's good, But it's not one of those that you want to play over and over again and love all the songs.
It does have it's good points though, Don't Blink, Never Wanted Nothing More, Just Not Today, Scare Me and Better As A Memory. All of those songs are great.
But Wild Ride, Demons, Shiftwork, etc, never really stood out to me and I never really cared for them.

I love Kenny. I can really identify with his love for the islands. He is singing my life. His live concerts are great too.
