9/10/2007 Stephen L. Betts   Kenny Chesney's Flip Flop Summer tour came to a close this weekend with a final show in Atlanta. By all accounts, it was an unforgettable two-hour, 35-song set, with several big-name guests hopping on stage for the grand finale. Dave Matthews joined Kenny on a cover of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" before launching into his own song, "Where Are You Going." Uncle Kracker showed up for his and Kenny's hit "When The Sun Goes Down" and a couple other tunes. Former tour mate Dierks Bentley walked onstage during "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and the Eagles' guitarist Joe Walsh joined Kenny for renditions of his solo hits "Life's Been Good" and "All Night Long" along with three other songs. Now that he's wrapped the hugely successful tour, Kenny's looking forward to tomorrow's (9/11) release of Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates. "This album has a lot of chapters," says Kenny. "And it's got a lot of emotions - up and down. When I listen to somebody's record, I want to be taken on a ride ... emotionally. And I think that we've done that with Poets & Pirates."
