Kenny Chesney has announced that he is releasing the deluxe version of his Here And Now album, adding four new songs to the project including “Wind On” from David Lee Murphy and Rodney Clawson, “Fields of Glory” from Josh Osborne, Ashley Gorley and Ross Copperman, “My Anthem” from Josh Osborne, Shane McAnally and Jason Gantt and “Streets,” co-written with Tom Douglas.

Kenny said, “There’s something that happens when we bring the new songs out on the road. To me, that’s when an album is really finished. Once you play the songs, and get the chance to come together in the name of music.”

He added, “Being home, writing with friends, recording with people who inspire you, this time has taught me to really be in the moment, to share more music. Some of these songs will spark an immediate hunger for things we all love; some of them I think people will think about for days and days after they hear them. With so much still unsettled, I didn’t want to wait any more to share them.”

The Here and Now Deluxe album will be released on May 7, 2021.

The album has already produced the number one title track and the singles “Tip of My Tongue” and “Happy Does.”

Chesney posted to Instagram, "No Shoes Nation, I'm excited to announce that the pre-order for the #hereandnowdeluxe album begins tonight at 12pm ET. Being home, writing with friends, recording with people who inspire you... this time has taught me to really be in the moment, to share more music. Some of these songs will spark an immediate hunger for things we all love. Some of them you'll think about for days and days after you hear them. With so much still unsettled, I didn’t want to wait any longer. The deluxe album is out May 7."
