Description of No Shoes No Shirt No Problems (Bonus Track):
A megahit with young country fans, Kenny Chesney may seem like an accidental star, but he's succeeded largely by understanding what his following wants to hear. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems taps directly into the squiggly vein that runs between adolescence and adulthood, when responsibilities call and Jimmy Buffett dreams beckon. As much a celebration of life as of youth itself, the album succeeds best when Chesney turns wistful and thought-provoking ("A Lot of Things Different," "Good Stuff") and makes firm decisions about what really matters in life. Sentimentality reigns supreme--you can already imagine a sea of flickering cigarette lighters when he does this material live--but as "Big Star," a song about a girl who wants to be just that, spells out, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is a solid affirmation to go for what you want in this silly ol' world. Chesney certainly has, and if this short, bald guy from tinytown, Tennessee, can catch a rainbow, the rest of us ought to take heart. --Alanna Nash

Kenny's Best CD to Date!
2008-06-07 - This is by far Kenny Chesney's best cd to date. And since I am reviewing this cd 6 years after it was released, I make the aforementioned statement with 100% confidence. I have been a long time KC fan (but a recent Amazon.com reviewer) and of all his work, I think this cd has the most "hits" for me.
This cd has become the anthem to my life. Whether you are feeling "Young", have dreams of becoming a "Big Star", looking for the "Good Stuff" or you need to get away to a place where "No Shoes, No Shirt, [is] No Problem" - this cd has it all! I LOVE this album and I love KC. I just saw him in concert (08 Poets and Pirates Tour) and he sang atlest 4 songs from this ablum - like I said, this cd has most of KC's best songs!
Great Album 
2007-06-08 - Already had this album from Oz, but was scratched. Love the album and wish I could see kenny live.
A Great Collection of Memories, Dreams, and Thoughts
2007-01-28 - Here is another wonderful release from the boy from Tennessee which offers more of his heartfelt melodies and stories of deep thoughts. As with his earlier albums, this one contains Kenny's clear and sincere vocals and a contemporary, yet unmistakably country taste to these songs. In contrast to his earlier albums, this one explores a new territory, the tropical island sound and/or lyrics in some of the selections here. All of the tracks consist of lyrics that many people can relate to on a personal basis because they have experienced or are experiencing these same thoughts or feelings.
The album starts out with the hit song "Young", a mid-tempo, neo country track that reflects on one's youth, with the activities, attitudes, behavior, and relationships that marked those days. This is sung from an adult point of view, on how he notes how fast the time has gone by, and how he wished he was older (when he was a kid), but now wishes those days weren't over (now that he's grown). The next track, a soft, low key, moderately paced "I Remember" tells of the guy thinking about a girl he used to have a relationship with, but he wants to forget about her. "A Lot Of Things Different" is soft and mild, and another hit song; it deals with past regrets, mostly about things he should have done but didn't, and he would do things differently if he had the chance to. Note that he speaks about the mistakes in a talking voice and sings the rest of the line. Next is the hit song "The Good Stuff", a story of a guy who had a fight with his wife so he goes to the bar, and ends up listening to the bartender telling about his late wife, and the grandkids, and the good times he had; so he has a change of heart. The hit "Big Star" is a high-energy, moderately fast-paced story song about a female who dreams of being a musical superstar, and experiences the life of a celebrity.
Next is "On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful", a soft piece in which the guy thinks about a girl, imagining that she is on the beautiful beach, and he wishes he could be there with her. "Never Gonna Feel That Way Again" is moderately fast-paced, and discusses the past phases of his life: childhood, the teenage years, and as a father playing ball with his young son; and how he will never return to those times again. Then come "Dreams", a soft, slow song with acoustic piano in the background, in which a woman dreams of having a man in her life (again) and that he will stay with her. The title track "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" is a popular hit song with a tropical style; marked by light-hearted rhythms, strumming guitars, violin, sliding steel guitar, and xylophone. It tells of a busy guy who would like to visit the island where the rules are relaxed and the mood is a laid-back one, and the setting is like a tropical vacation.
Kenny wanders into the rock 'n' roll sound with "Live Those Songs" with a rock guitar strumming in the background of high energy. This is the story of a working guy who wishes he could return to the early 70s and the beach, girls, and music of those times. "One Step Up" is the remake of the Bruce Springsteen hit, a fairly gentle piece about dealing with the frustrations of having setbacks while working toward goals. The final track "I Can't Go There" is a soft and slow ballad, with an acoustic piano in the background. This is a story of a guy who can't visit any places because they all remind him of a girl he used to go out with; almost as if her memory follows him wherever he goes.
Overall, these dozen tracks provide some variety in Kenny's style of performing and singing. This album helped bump up his thriving musical career and push him into superstardom. Although the five hits from this package are great, the listener must hear all twelve tracks to appreciate the versatility contained here. This album deserves 5 and 1/2 stars on a scale of 1 to 5; or 11 stars on a scale of 1 to 10.
No Shoes is a great album
2006-11-10 - No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is a great album. Along with the title song this album includes Kenny's hits The Good Stuff and Young. The bonus track, I Can't Go There is my favorite song on the album. I never listen to that song just once. I always rewind it and listen to it again and again. This album is a must for true Kenny fans.
