No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems keeps Kenny Chesney's middle-of-the-road authorship balance: he co-wrote just two tracks, 'Dreams' and 'I Can't Go There,' both with Skip Ewing, while the hits 'The Good Stuff' and the title song came from outside writers. The Bruce Springsteen cover 'One Step Up' is the clearest non-Nashville moment, on a record built mostly from professional material with a couple of Chesney co-writes folded in.
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems is the seventh studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in April 2002 and his first to top the all-genre Billboard 200. The album cemented the beach-and-back-roads identity that became his signature, powered by 'The Good Stuff,' the longest-running country number one of the year, and the title-track party anthem. Chesney co-wrote two tracks, 'Dreams' and 'I Can't Go There,' both with Skip Ewing, while the rest came from Nashville writers and a Bruce Springsteen cover in 'One Step Up.' Certified multi-platinum, it marked his arrival as a top-tier commercial force in country music.
