No one paid much attention to Kenny Chesney<\/a> when he charted his first single, \u201cWhatever It Takes,\u201d in 1993. After all, country music was riding a tidal wave back then, and it was easy for a new artist on an independent label, as Chesney was, to get lost. That year, Garth Brooks had four No. 1s, while \u201cWhatever It Takes\u201d stiffed at No. 59.<\/p>\n

Some of us had seen Chesney hanging out at Opryland Music offices, where he\u2019d landed a job as a staff writer, and a few may have even heard him pounding out cover tunes at The Turf honky-tonk on Nashville\u2019s Lower Broadway. Yeah, he was good. But a superstar-in-embryo? Hardly.<\/p>\n
