piumini moncler saldi “It was moncler saldi the most satisfying recording experience I’ve had, because I could have very easily released the bunch of songs I had. In my gut, I knew it wasn’t right,” he said. “It was satisfying to take a risk and moncler outlet see it pay off.” piumini moncler saldi
Until now, Chesney specialized in Margaritaville music country western by way of Jimmy Buffett. The songs were upbeat and breezy, and had names like “Key Lime Pie,” “Key’s in the Conch Shell” and “Boats.”
“Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists,” he said. He churned the songs out, almost an moncler outlet online shop album every year since his first was released in 1994.
When he entered his 40s a moncler saldi uomo few years ago, he’d reached a point where he needed “an artistic shift.”

More than any other song in “Whiskey,” “You And Tequila” is a reflection of Chesney’s new, more sobering outlook.
