I'll never forget meeting a new singer by the name of Kenny Chesney in the lobby of the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.  There was no fanfare or any ruckus as Kenny was just starting out and actually hanging out with one of our DJ's at the time on the HAWK, Laura Mills.  Laura moved to Nashville and insisted that I meet her friend Kenny Chensey.  Really nice guy.

As you probably know, Kenny has taken a year off from touring, focusing on writing songs for his hugely anticipated new album, "The Big Revival," in stores tomorrow (Tuesday September 23rd).

Kenny will reveal which song is most autobiographical on the album and why his fans are the best, tomorrow night on Taste of Country Nights,  7-midnight Tuesday night on the HAWK!

On the eve of his new album release, I thought it would be fun to give you 5 little known facts on the country music superstar:

#1)  He tells People Magazine in 2010 that he is a clean freak.  In fact, Kenny takes 3 showers a day, loves his body wash over bar soap.

#2)  Kenny's worst habit is he bites his nails.

#3)  Talking diet, Kenny tells TasteofCountry.com that his strict diet includes lots of carrot sticks and egg whites.  His guilty pleasure is plain grilled cheese sandwiches with extra salt.

#4)  He tells Jay Leno that he wrote his first song to get a girl and it didn't work.

#5)  Kenny has a dog named Pancho and he is a Goldendoodle.
