In the November issue of People Magazine, Kenny Chesney reveals ten songs that have changed his life:

1. JOHN MELLENCAMP – SMALL TOWN

This song is a perfect description of how I grew up, the dreams I had back then and the values that shaped my life.

2. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN – BORN TO RUN

This song is all about freedom. It reminds me so much of the freedom I felt my first couple years on the road. We had 14 people on a 12-bunk bus, and I didn’t think it could get any better.

3. BOB MARLEY – STIR IT UP

I have spent a ton of great days at sea watching sunsets to this song. No matter where I am in the world, when I hear this song, I am in that place.

4. THE EAGLES – TAKE IT EASY

It’s funny now that I live this song how I understand every struggling, conflicted emotion of it. As a kid I had no idea what it meant; I just knew I loved it! But now it is scary familiar, true to my life.
