Though to his many true believers he never went away- Chesney is making a comeback. If like me ‘the one and only’ has formed the bedrock of your narrow yet eclectic CD library (Chesney single, Twin Peaks Theme Tune (vocal and instrumental) Roxette’s Greatest Hits (sadly stolen to order from my car, or a crack addict with taste who touched nothing else)), these past twenty years imagine what a full album worth of hits will do- never again will you need to buy another CD, no more agonising over the 10 CD ‘Classical Music from the Adverts’ in the back of the Sunday Times Magazine, no more nagging feeling of inadequacy that you can’t quite master i-tunes and don’t dare to use an unauthorised download site.
Cynics may mock that Ches has decided to kick off his new album with the track ‘Overrated’ but if its half as good as ‘the one and only’ I’ll be bench-pressing to it (irregularly), getting married to it (probably more frequently), bathing the kids to it (my own) and smouldering gently to it (as the curtain closes behind my shagpile lined coffin). So throw away the 10 gig pod, trade down to a first generation device, download ‘the one and only’ and ‘overrated’, dust off the air guitar and hit repeat (if after a few years you fancy a change look no further than the shuffle button)

Ahh. Satire is still alive... right?
