Kenny Chesney is about to set himself up for The Big Revival. Today (July 14), the "Come Over" country singer revealed the album cover for his upcoming record and it features a big ol' colorful bus.
Chesney rolled out his album cover on his official Twitter and Facebook after premiering the image on Billboard this morning. The Big Revival 's album cover features no faces but still gives off an insane amount of energy, thanks in large part to the loud and proud school bus on the cover.
Recalling traveling hippie imagery from the '60s, the album cover for The Big Revival features an old, painted school bus with a big eye, bursting yellow sun and swells of blue, red, orange and green. Littered remnants of a good time lie around the bus, with a bike on top, standup bass, conga drum and surfboard sitting front and center.
The breakout bus is something Chesney wanted for the artwork, telling Billboard he needed something "unexpected." "That was the thing about that bus," Chesney said. "It was so far beyond coloring outside the lines, yet what is more common than a school bus? We've all seen them, no matter how old we are, our entire lives... and yet, when you look at that bus after we were done painting it, it was a whole new notion."
It's a feel-good, summertime image, calling back to those lazy days in the sand.

The Big Revival will be released Sept. 23. The album is currently being led by the single "American Kids," which also features the big colorful bus in its music video.
This album will be the first release from Chesney since his April 2013 album Life on a Rock.
