By the Numbers
Hemingway's Whiskey is one of Kenny Chesney's most outside-written albums: he has just one writing credit, on 'Reality,' which he co-wrote with Brett James. The rest leans on a deep roster of Nashville writers, and the title track is a Guy Clark song. The Grace Potter duet 'You and Tequila,' written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, became the album's defining moment despite not being a Chesney co-write.
Hemingway's Whiskey is the thirteenth studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in September 2010 and another Billboard 200 number one. It produced the hits 'The Boys of Fall,' the chart-topping 'Somewhere with You,' and 'You and Tequila,' a Grace Potter duet that became one of his signature ballads. Chesney has a writing credit on just one track, 'Reality,' with the rest of the album drawn from Nashville writers including Casey Beathard, Matraca Berg, and the late Guy Clark, whose title song closes the record. Certified platinum, it kept his run of number one albums going into the 2010s.
