Kenny Chesney in the Big Apple 

By Nancy Wilson

Kenny Chesney performed live on Friday as part of the Summer Concert Series in Central Park, New York City in support of his most recent album, the Kenny Chesney Greatest Hits 2 album.

It is the singer-songwriter's second retrospective album, 'Greatest Hits: Vol. 2′ released in May 19, 2009 featuring the lead single, 'Out Last Night' which he co-wrote with Brett James.

The Kenny Chesney Good Morning America video reveals crowd pleasing performances of his signature hits. The celebrated singer-songwriter, is a renown touring artist whom Forbes Magazine ranks as the highest earner in country music as well as one of the highest earning touring artists (His 2008 Poets and Pirates Tour outsold all North American tours including Madonna's).

Since his 1994 debut album, In My Wildest Dreams, he has gone on to top the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts sixteen times, and has received the Entertainer of the Year Awards for four consecutive years from the ACM (Academy of Country Music.

Additionally, he has just launched his own Internet based radio station, No Shoes Radio. Regarding the new station, he said:

"People ask me what I do and, obviously, because of the way I sing and where I come from, I'm a country singer, but really, what I do draws on so much more than that," Kenny explains. "Growing up, I don't think anybody listened to any one kind of thing -- and what I think of as country, well, that's not really what we do ... But then again, I think most of our fans are listening to other stuff, too, whether it's Dave [Matthews], [Bruce] Springsteen, [Tom] Petty or Jackson Browne, not to mention Marley, who I think may be the great equalizer among all kinds of music."
