I was hoping when I heard the title of this CD that the cover would have Kenny Chesney with no shoes and no shirt. No such luck. It is another great effort by Kenny though, and this CD is nearly perfect.

The songs range from the rockin' ("Young") to the touching ("The Good Stuff") and the inspiring ("Big Star"). The title track is my personal favorite and I hope it will be single on radio. The last track is the most haunting though, with some help from buddy Tim McGraw, Kenny pours his heart out and it kind of ends the CD on a down note - the reason for subtracting a star.

Kenny Chesney's star is on the rise because he is an awesome singer, but at the same time a guy next-door type. This CD is great!


'No Problems' Here   May 4, 2002

Kenny Chesney took a break from the recording studio for a while, but he's back with his first studio album since 1999's EVERYWHERE WE GO. NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO PROBLEMS is well worth the wait. The album features songs which run through a similar vein, reliving memories and the past, all with a sense of carefree and freedom to them. The first single "Young" is a song many can relate with, remembering one's youth where you were free and you marched to your own drum, no fears, no regrets. The title track has a tropical like feel to it, with a carefree feeling and relaxed approach. Songs like "Big Star", and "Dreams", tell the story about never giving up on your dreams, and watching them come true. There are also some commanding ballads that you would expect from Chesney, such as "A Lot of Things Different", "I Remember", "On The Coast of Somewhere Beautiful", "One Step Up", and "I Can't Go Back There". Overall it seems that Kenny took time off, and it was well worth it, with another consistent good album, perhaps up in the running for his best since 1997's I WILL STAND. Overall its a great album for the summer time, or any mood your in, give it a listen!


A Great Album from Kenny   December 12, 2002
 8 out of 10 found this review helpful

This album by Kenny Chesney is one of the best country albums released during 2002. The first single off of the CD, "Young", was a big hit on country radio, and a great, fun song about growing up that most people can relate to. Also included on this CD is "The Good Stuff", a song about what is important in life.

"A Lot of Things Different" is about what someone may have done differently, if they had the chance to change things. "Dreams" is about someone looking for that special someone to spend their life with, to grow old with.

The title track of the album, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" is another fun, relaxing song. On the bonus track, "I Can't Go There", Kenny sings about a past love and how everything he does and everywhere he goes, he is reminded of the past love. Tim McGraw provides background vocals on the song.

There is a great collection of songs on this album; from the more serious, to the upbeat, fun songs.


No Problems Here!   June 24, 2002

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" is definitely Kenny Chesney's best album! There's a perfect mix of beautiful love songs and some fun, fast-paced tunes. There are so many terrific songs on here, but some of my favorites are:

"I Can't Go There"- A pretty song about how it's difficult to visit certain places after a relationship has ended, since the memories still linger there. Kenny's good friend, Tim McGraw sings a small part towards the end of the song.

"Big Star"- A very fun song about a small-town girl who becomes a famous singer. Includes the lyric "She signed autographs like she was Garth Brooks in a skirt."

"The Good Stuff"- A thought-provoking song about the good, simple things in life. One of the best on the CD.

"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"- A fun, laid-back song. Perfect to listen to during the summer!

"On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful"- Kenny says that the idea for this song came from a girl he met when he moved to Nashville who loved the beach so much she left Tennessee and broke his heart. Now he says, he knows she running with a piece of his heart on the coast of somewhere beautiful.

"Live Those Songs"- Similar to the title track, but this one's more energetic.

"Young"- A song about the carefree days when a person is young.

This CD is the best one in my collection. Another great thing about this is that on the liner notes, Kenny tells you what each song is about and what it means to him. If you want to buy a Kenny Chesney album, make it "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems." It's a huge success!


His Best Album Ever...And a great Album Overall   June 24, 2002

This is the best album that Kenny Chesney has produced yet. There is literally not one bad song on it. I bought it a week ago and have not yet taken it out of the cd player. There are a lot of ballads on this album. The title song "No shoes, No shirt..." is an island type song about him dreaming of getting away from it all. It has an "island" feel to it without the steel drum. "Live the Songs" is my favortie track...it is very upbeat and is about a guy who wishes that he could relive the parts of his life that he is reminded of when he hears a certain song. "Young" is of course the first release about adolescence. #6- A slower song about a gal that he is thinking of and he knows that she has moved on with her life and is living "On the Coast of Somewhere Beautiful. #4- The Good Stuff-is his latest release and he sang it on the ACM's. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. In the CD insert, it did not have the words but it gives a story from Kenny Chesney about what the songs are really about and why he decided to record them. If you like his music style and are looking for an easy listening cd that you don't have to skip a bunch of songs...then this is the one!
