Kenny Chesney Tops Money List In Country Music

We all know that Kenny Chesney is a very successful singer-songwriter and performer, and when Billboard released their list of the top money making performers, Kenny was number 6 and had earned over $90 million for 2008. Taylor Swift came in at the number 16 position, earning over $45 million, and that was without even being the headline act. Expect Taylor Swift to make more than she did in 2008, as she has a big tour scheduled, and is currently the sweetheart of country music, with many top songs and a huge following.

Kenny Chesney has always been charitable with his money, and has done shows, given away tickets, and donated signed guitars for deserving charities. Right now he is not married, and would be a nice catch for a lucky girl, last reported he was dating former Miss Tennessee – Amy Colley.

With the Sun City Carnival Tour 2009 expected to be as successful as this past year’s tour, you can anticipate that Kenny Chesney will be back on this years top money making list again……………

Another Look At The Grammy’s For Country Performers

Country Music had a large showing at the 2009 Grammy’s, and came away with the Best Album of the Year in “Raising Sand” from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. Here is a look at who played @ The Staples Center……Keith Urban spent his time on the Grammy’s backing up legend Al Green and pop favorite Justin Timberlake, he also sat in on a jam session with Blues master B.B. King.
Carrie Underwood came out with “Last Name”, which is a bit of a rocker for the country sweetheart. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus joined together for an acoustic version of “Fifteen” as her band stood quietly below the stage and backed up the duo.

Kenny Chesney was alone and was spotlighted for his singing of “Better as a Memory”, and country favorites Sugarland had the stage all to themselves for “Stay”. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss decided to do a medley of “Gone, Gone, Gone” and” “Please Read The Letter” with T-Bone Burnett on Guitar.

Here is a video and the lyrics of the Grammy Award winning song “Please Read The Letter”……………..

Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything’s gonna turn out fine
Please read the letter
I nailed it to your door
It’s crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more

Once I put beside you a well of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds
Please understand me
My walls came falling down
There’s nothing here that’s left for you
But check with lost and found
Ahhhhhhhh…………

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

One more song, just before we go
Remember baby
You gonna reap
Just what you sow
Please read my letter
And promise me you’ll keep
The secrets and the memories
We cherish in the deep
Please read the letter
I nailed it to your door
It’s Crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more
