Country star Kenny Chesney recently announced he’s releasing new material in the fall of 2025. But this time, the singer-songwriter isn’t debuting a new album. Instead, he’s focusing on words rather than music.

In November, he'll release his memoir, “Heart Life Music.” The book is filled with anecdotes that Chesney’s fans will find interesting. From his time spent in Nashville to his days cruising the Caribbean, he shows how he uniquely blends those two worlds to create his music.
