10.No Kenny Hello "Cat in the hat" people,
1. In a recent interview from his tour bus, Kenny had the following to say about his music. "I do not think Im what some would call three chords and the truth of the traditionalists. The songs that I sing tell stories. I think they are the real-life. I think that they hopefully remind people of their first date, the first kiss, the first time they fell in love, the first time they had their heart broke. Ive had people tell me that."

He went on to say; "I do recognize the fact that when we put together a live show, that's my main focus. Maybe our show is not as traditional as other artists of this format, but I think it's a good thing. Our show is really edgy. I cut my music that way. I think the stories are country. I think my singing is the land. But I like to make music in a live show that will make people realize that they've been to a concert.
2. After singing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" recently at
To stand for election? No lend his talent to sing "The National Anthem " for the Baseball Hall of Fame T-Ball Game. Kenny compared his touring to be a lot like baseball. "I always say, and my boys are a bit like a baseball team, 6 months, 6 months. because it's a long season, and you start gearing up for it a long time before. It was fun, we have many friends in many teams over the years - because I think she feels about us. We've got lots of players who come out to our shows when they're not on the road, some even come up and sing with us. t rather surprising."
Kenny also played an acoustic-based 20-minute set as part of the dinner.
3. Well we've got a taste of Kenny's upcoming album when Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven finally hit the airwaves on the 10th Aug 08. Kenny said: "Everything in this song is everything we all think. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go today. If you could not take at this time. You'd want to live, to do more things, to have more fun.
He felt it really didn't fit his Troubadour album, so he gave Kenny a call and they got together to give it a listen. Kenny jumped at the opportunity to record the song.

Some great tunes on this one. Well if you're anywhere near Mansfield Mass on the 20th Sept, maybe you should consider a plan to attend Farm Aid. Kenny played Farm Aid once before back in 2005. They've fed us and kept us strong and healthy for how many generations? Growing up in a small town outside Knoxville , it was a big part of who we were, and it's something we shouldn't lose. It's a small thing, but a big deal."

9.After the video "Everybody wants to go to Heaven " was released, was in search of Bob Marley "The Wailers " to be in the video. "They were so generous with us in terms of their time and the stories they'd tell us," Kenny said. I got to interview them for something we may do later.
The music they had a hand in creating is so universal."
10. And he credits Ernest Hemingway for his love of books. He says that she loves "The Old Man and the Sea, " because it reminds him of a relationship. That one little book about a battle between an old fisherman and a big marlin is the book that hooked Kenny.
