Country Music artist Kenny Chesney is taking things into his own hands by setting up his own record label. Chesney has set up Blue Chair and has leased his next album release, Lucky Old Sun, to BNA. As of right now, there are no other artists on Blue Chair.

His newest single, “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven,” hit radio airways on Monday sporting the new Blue Chair logo alongside the BNA mark. The song was originally recorded by George Strait for his recent album, Troubadour.

"Everything in that song is everything we all think," Chesney said in an article on gactv.com. "I don't know anyone who doesn't want to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go today. If you could pick [when you die], you wouldn't pick right now. You'd want to live, to do more things, to have more fun."

The artist is also in the middle of his Poets & Pirates tour which lands in Cincinnati Thursday.
