As you know, Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw will hit the road together this summer for the Brothers of the Sun Tour. When it was first rumored back in the fall, it was also rumored that Tim and Kenny might record a song together. Country Weekly has more:

It’s possible but not set in stone, Kenny told reporters Jan. 17 at the Grammy nominees party in Nashville. Kenny noted that he and Tim would like to cut a tune together, but added, “We haven’t found the song yet.”

With a joking smile, Kenny said, “We might do a bluegrass thing. We may do some version of [Kenny's recent hit] ‘You and Tequila.’ No, really, I just don’t know yet.”

The inspiration for Kenny Chesney’s latest single came from an unlikely place:

Speaking about the inspiration behind his latest single, Kenny says, “I was lying in a dentist chair, I had the mask on, you know, where they give you that funny gas so they can work on your mouth without you feelin’ it and all that kind of stuff,” he recalls. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I haven’t been this relaxed in a long time. This is my escape from reality.’”

Grace Potter on Kenny’s Devotion to His Craft

Alison Bonaguro at CMT talked with Grace Potter about Kenny Chesney and the music video for “You and Tequila.”

She told me yesterday (June 2) that when she and Chesney were recording the song and making the video, she found him “so devoted to his craft.”

She added, “He has an incredible amount of depth, and is so diverse as a musician. He’s capable of anything,” she added. Chesney discovered her soulful, folk-rock band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, when he heard their 2007 song “Apologies.” So his people called her people, a demo was sent and voila. Written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, “You and Tequila” is a poignant song that compares love to a vice. (Chesney has said he loved the song because it’s about being addicted to a person and how that can run in your blood.)

Chesney and Potter shot the sexy video mostly in Malibu, Calif. “That’s the essence of the song, a very romantic setting. And the house where we shot it really lent itself to the song. It was built to look like a Spanish villa, like it belonged on Majorca in the Mediterranean.” On set, Potter said Chesney was very involved. “He and Shaun (Silva, the director) have this kind of shorthand. Kenny even ran around with his own camera. And he’s so well-versed in videos. Even though that’s not his job to know all that, he does know it,” she said. “I was a bit of a film nerd as a kid. So I was obsessed with angles and lighting, too.”
