Always happy to see good news about our biggest fan!!❤️
through very happy tears, Half of my Hometown is the number one song in country music this week.
it’s my seventh number one (wait WHAT!)…and it’s my favorite. here’s why.
- sometimes leaving is the only way you understand the importance of where you’re from.
- if you want to know more about yourself, go back and find it.
- wherever you put your roots down, honor them. water them. it doesn’t have to look like your neighbors.
- my years in knoxville shaped my creativity, my drive, and my sense of self. i wouldn’t be doing this had i grown up anywhere else.
- leaving at 15 to go chase this dream down was the hardest and best decision i’ve ever made.
- how the hell did kenny go from singing “back where i come from” through my parents Jeep cherokee speakers to singing this song about the same damn place with me.
- go bobcats. my time at Central changed everything. IYKYK.
- all i want to do is make them proud.
i love every single person who is a part of this. Kenny Chesney you showed up in every way for this song and have become such a friend and brother through it. Nicolle Galyon, Jimmy Robbins, Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman thanks for getting wine drunk in a florida air bnb with me and digging for this one. thank you country radio, thank you Black River Entertainment and your amazing radio team. and thank you to the cheerleading coach who didn’t let me on the team, because i would have never picked up the guitar and gotten here.
