Kenny Chesney knew that the song “Knowing You” was special — and even was a bit of his life story, so he also knew that the video for the song had to be something special too.
Kenny says, “One of the things about this video I love is the way you can feel the settings, and each location – whether in Gloucester, Mass. or the Virgin Islands — was selected because it feels the way these emotions actually feel.”
He also adds, “With all the visual ways people get information, it felt like this was a nice way to give people a taste of what’s to come… to let them see and feel everything this song holds, so that they could tell this song and this video is something more.”
Now Kenny takes you deeper behind the scenes with the Making of the Knowing You Video featurettes – Part 1 & 2…watch them here…
Now that you’ve watched the Making of — check out the finished music video for Kenny Chesney’s “Knowing You.”
Reba McEntire‘s powerful new song “Somehow You Do” – which is featured in the new movie Four Good Days — is available now.
Talking about the song, Reba says ““I definitely feel like the fans can relate to the overall message of this song. It does give hope when you’re down, depressed and you’re having problems in life. This song gives hope, and that’s what we all need.”
Reba thinks that the message of “Somehow You Do” fits perfectly with the theme of Four Good Days – “Well, the movie’s about a mother-daughter relationship dealing with drug addiction. It’s very emotional.”
Four Good Days stars Glenn Close as a mother trying to help her grown daughter, Mila Kunis, break the cycle of drug addiction.
When it comes to her music video for the track, Reba thinks the director did a great good of capturing the spirit of the song, “Jon Avnet did a great job on creating this concept. He thought about it a long time, he listened to the song…I’m really glad to be the recipient to bring it to life, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did getting it together.”
Four Good Days opens on a limited run this Friday, with a wider release coming in May 21st.

What do you get when you have Lauren Alaina and Jon Pardi in a video for their song “Getting Over Him”? You get a good time!
Jon says, “Had a lot of fun with my girl Lauren Alaina filming this music video. Just a couple troublemakers having some fun (laugh)”
Of course Lauren knew Jon was just the right guy to make the song and the video a good time, “‘Getting Over Him’ is a song that I recorded with Jon Pardi who is one of my dear friends. I absolutely love him and his personality, and I knew that he we would be the perfect guy for it. It’s about going out and having a good time, and Jon Pardi is the definition of going out and having a good time.”
The couple in the music video have a very good time – as they are a modern day version of “Bonnie and Clyde”…check out the music video for “Getting Over Him” from Lauren and Jon right here…

Rucker & Gilbert Take Home SEC Weekly Honors
Junior third baseman Jake Rucker and sophomore outfielder/pitcher Drew Gilbert both earned SEC weekly honors on Monday after big weekends at Texas A&M.
Rucker was UT’s best hitter last week, leading the team with a .556 batting average, 10 hits, six runs, four doubles, 17 total bases, a .944 slugging percentage and a .579 on-base percentage. Rucker recorded hits in all four games last week and tied his career high with three hits in all three games against Texas A&M over the weekend. The Greenbrier, Tennessee, native went 3-for-5 with two doubles and set a new career high with four runs scored in Sunday’s series finale. He also drove in a pair of runs as the Vols hammered the Aggies, 20-7, to take the series.
Gilbert showcased his versatility last week, doing damage at the plate while also pitching two scoreless innings in Tuesday’s midweek win over Tennessee Tech. The Stillwater, Minnesota, native had a hit in three of Tennessee’s four games and was second on the team with six RBI last week. His six hits also ranked second on the team for the week. Four of those hits came in Sunday’s rubber game at Texas A&M, tying a career high. He also scored two runs and had three RBI on the day to lead UT to an emphatic series-clinching win.
Going Yard
Tennessee has been on a major power surge recently. In the past two weeks, the Vols have hit 20 home runs in a span of just eight games, including nine in their series win at Texas A&M last weekend. The Big Orange blasted a season-high six homers in Sunday’s 20-7 victory to increase their season total to 54, which ranks fourth in the SEC and ninth in nation. Senior Evan Russell has been responsible for 12 of those 54 homers, which is tied for fifth in the SEC and 12th nationally. His 10 long balls in SEC play are the most in the league.
Non-Conference Dominance
UT has been close to unbeatable in non-conference and midweek games in the past couple of years. Since the start of the 2019 season, the Vols are 61-10 against non-conference foes. The Big Orange have also posted an impressive 37-6 record in midweek games since Vitello became head coach in 2018. Tennessee is 20-3 in non-conference games this season, including a 9-1 record in midweek contests.
Tennessee vs. In-State Foes
Tennessee has been successful against in-state competition since Vitello took over as head coach in 2018. The Vols are 20-11 against in-state teams in that span, including a 17-5 record against non-conference in-state foes.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tennessee’s Jake Rucker and Drew Gilbert both earned weekly honors from the SEC, as announced by the conference on Monday afternoon.
Rucker was named the SEC Co-Player of the Week, while Gilbert earned Newcomer of the Week honors after helping lead the Vols to three victories last week, including a series win at Texas A&M.
Rucker was UT’s best hitter last week, leading the team with a .556 batting average, 10 hits, six runs, four doubles, 17 total bases, a .944 slugging percentage and a .579 on-base percentage. The junior third baseman recorded hits in all four games last week and tied his career high with three hits in all three games against Texas A&M over the weekend. The Greenbrier, Tennessee, native went 3-for-5 with two doubles and set a new career high with four runs scored in Sunday’s series finale. He also drove in a pair of runs as the Vols hammered the Aggies, 20-7, to take the series.
Rucker is the first Vol to take home SEC Player of the Week honors since Andre Lipcius on May 13, 2019.
Gilbert showcased his versatility last week, doing damage at the plate while also pitching two scoreless innings in Tuesday’s midweek win over Tennessee Tech. The Stillwater, Minnesota, native had a hit in three of Tennessee’s four games and was second on the team with six RBI last week. His six hits also ranked second on the team for the week. Four of those hits came in Sunday’s rubber game at Texas A&M, tying a career high. He also scored two runs and had three RBI on the day to lead UT to an emphatic series-clinching win.
