Chesney is planning to release his latest album, “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem” (BNA Records), on April 23. Produced by Buddy Cannon and Norro Wilson, the album is his first record of all-new material in three years. “No Shoes, No Shirt, Problem” includes a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “One Step Up.” The song “Young” is slated to be the first single.
In 2000, Chesney released a greatest hits collection called “Greatest Hits,” which featured “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” “Back Where I Come From,” “How Forever Feels” and “Don’t Happen Twice.”
