About
The “Big” in <i>The Big Revival</i> can be taken very literally. The 2014 album underlines Kenny Chesney’s ability to pivot back and forth between moods as his muse demand. On his previous release, 2013’s <i>Life on a Rock</i>, Chesney had gone deeper into his Jimmy Buffett-influenced “Gulf & Western” side than ever, turning out easygoing, acoustic-laced, small-scale tunes full of unassuming beach-vacation vibe. Then he turned around and did the complete opposite. By this point, a dash of arena rock had long been an ingredient in Chesney’s cookbook. He didn’t turn to it all the time, but when he did, it felt like a totally natural choice. And <i>The Big Revival</i> is nothing if not Chesney’s arena-rock album. Country is still a key component, but this is a sonically massive record on which mile-high guitar riffs carom off of sledgehammer snare hits swathed in epic amounts of reverb. It’s no coincidence that in addition to some downright nasty licks that could make Aerosmith jealou, “Rock Bottom” includes shout-outs to the Marshall stack and <i>Back in Black</i>. .
