Seasoned country artist extraordinaire Kenny Chesney returns with a feel-good, straightforward country single with “Get Along.”

Country vet Kenny Chesney is back with a brand new single, “Get Along.” From the jump, he gets the strings involved – rhythmic acoustic guitar and banjos that is.  Both instruments are part of the country script, hence helping “Get Along” claim a country identity from the get-go.  Simply put, there are no ‘blurred lines’ regarding the stylistic leanings of this particular record.

Besides possessing a strong identity, “Get Along” sports a bright, exuberant quality. This is a record that simply feels great, sigh. Kenny Chesney serves up clear, commanding, and seasoned vocals beginning on the first verse.  By the chorus, he sounds even more dynamic, nailing it. Expectedly, the chorus is golden – incredibly memorable.

“Get along, on down the road
We’ve got a long, long way to go
Scared to live, scared to die
We ain’t perfect but we try
Get along while we can
Always give love the upper hand
Paint a wall, learn to dance
Call your mom, buy a boat
Drink a beer, sing a song
Make a friend, can’t we all get along.”

After the second iteration of the chorus, there’s an electric guitar solo, followed by a brief banjo solo.  These instrumental solos are a bit predictable in country music but feel good nonetheless. A bridge, which actually feels more like a brief third verse, follows, keeping “Get Along” glorious.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, Kenny Chesney has nothing more to prove at this point of his career.  The man is flexing his muscles at this point and there’s nothing wrong with that.  “Get Along” is ‘country’ solid.
