The Road and the Radio arrives at the end of a busy 2005 for Kenny Chesney. As the year opened, he followed up his 2004 blockbuster When the Sun Goes Down with the mellow Be as You Are. A few months later, he married movie star Renee Zellweger. After that, Chesney returned with The Road and the Radio, the big, splashy proper follow-up to When the Sun Goes Down. Since Chesney has always demonstrated a good ear for material, he picks good tunes here, highlighted by the wry, lazily rocking "Living in Fast Forward." It's a smooth, polished, commercial effort, heavy on anthemic choruses and bright surfaces.This is the poppiest that Kenny Chesney has ever sounded, from how the atmospheric keyboards on the opening title cut recall U2 to how "Summertime" is driven by a gurgling talk box guitar.
