New Country KS93 The new Kenny Chesney cd called Hemingway's Whiskey will include two duets to look forward to. One with George Jones called "Small Y'all" and "You and Tequila" with the remarkable Grace Potter. Grace has performed with her group called the "Nocturnals" for years. You will love how their voices work together.

Here's the song as originally recorded by Deana Carter


Billboard Preview of Record

4. "You And Tequila" (featuring Grace Potter)
(Matraca Berg/Deana Carter)

Chesney: "This song makes me believe in music even more. I'd never met Grace Potter until she came into the studio. She grew up in the woods in Vermont. I grew up in the woods in East Tennessee. We come from completely worlds, different backgrounds, probably religious beliefs, we haven't talked about it. I don't know what her political beliefs are, I don't know nothing about any of that. I know she's a great person and I know that she is a hell of a singer. I heard her voice and I knew I would love to sing with her one day. I didn't know it would be on this, or this soon.

"At the end of 2007, I rented a house North of Malibu, Calif., for about two months. I was exhausted, I didn't want to talk to anybody, I didn't want to listen to music, I just wanted to be still for a minute. Every day I would drive close in to Santa Monica, meet some friends, eat dinner, and I'd drive back up the PCH with the windows down. That time of year is really chilly, I'd watch the sun set. It's beautiful, I loved it. I would turn on the radio every now and then and I would hear these songs. I heard an Eagles song, I don't even remember what the song was. But I remember thinking, 'Wow, I think I like music again.'

"When I heard 'You and Tequila,' it put me in that spot. That's when I thought of Grace, because I listened to her music a lot on the boat, a lot on the bus, her live record especially. She has a song called 'Apology' that still kills me. I got in touch with her and sent her the song, I had already recorded it. She called back the next day and said "I want to make this happen." When she came in and we put our voices together, wow. I love the song, Matraca and Deana wrote it, but, boy, it's relatable, so universal. To have Grace on it, that will be with me forever."

I rest my case.....and to think this song was gonna just fade into the past 3-4 years ago!

Review of Kenny Chesney "Hemingway's Whiskey" CD in the New York Times, 27 Sept 2010: "....After a while, he's joined by the soul singer Grace Potter, so distractingly brassy on her own records but careful and wounded here, cutting Mr. Chesney's gloom. Written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, it's one of the finest songs of Mr. Chesney's career, a sudden bolt of darkness disrupting a blissful summer sky......" Jon Caramanica

I love the way NY Times music critics come up with all this literary crap. I think he's saying Grace adds a lot to Chesney's music. But what's this "distractingly brassy" business? Clearly the writer is mistaken. I won't say more.....

[Charles]

I noticed that Chesney is on Leno tonight. Grace is in L.A. tonight. I wonder if their schedules might permit them to do their duet.
