Brian Wilson released his latest album
That Lucky Old Sun on Sept 2nd. On Oct 14th Kenny Chesney released his latest album
Lucky Old Sun. Huh? Brian Wilson has been playing the song live for over a year as part of a suite of music. He talked about his love for the 1949 song, which is why he included it on his latest record and names the album after the song. So Kenny Chesney decides to do a duet with Willie Nelson of the very same song and takes away the "That" for his album title. Was Chesney inspired by Wilson's song choice?
As Wilson told USA Today:
"I always liked that song," he says of That Lucky Old Sun, first popularized in 1949 by Frankie Laine. "A couple of years ago, I went to the record store, got Louis Armstrong's version, brought it home and learned it. I rearranged it and taught it to my band."
