By the Numbers
The Big Revival has a stronger Kenny Chesney writing presence than his early-2010s records: he co-wrote four tracks, often with David Lee Murphy and Ross Copperman, including 'Wild Child' and 'Flora-Bama.' The hits 'American Kids' and 'Save It for a Rainy Day' came from outside writers, so the album again balances a solid run of Chesney co-writes against modern Nashville material.
The Big Revival is the fifteenth studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in September 2014 and a Billboard 200 number one. It produced 'American Kids,' a stylistic shift toward a more modern, rhythmic country sound, along with 'Til It's Gone,' 'Wild Child,' and 'Save It for a Rainy Day.' Chesney co-wrote four tracks here, frequently with David Lee Murphy and Ross Copperman, while the rest came from Nashville writers including Shane McAnally and Luke Laird. Certified platinum, it refreshed his sound and proved he could keep topping the chart well into his third decade.
