David Nail is up for his first Grammy next week for Best Male Vocal Country Performance on a song that was co-written and very nearly recorded by Kenny Chesney -- 'Turning Home.' He's particularly appreciative he got the chance to cut the song as a new artist, not only because Kenny wrote it, but also because the song truly speaks to his heart and to the truth of who he really is.

"Kenny Chesney wrote it with a guy named Scooter Carusoe," David tells The Boot, "and there were a few of Kenny's records where we thought he was going to cut it. I like to think that the Good Lord had a hand in it all, and made Kenny an even bigger superstar than he is and maybe Kenny deep down felt bad for me and threw me a bone by letting me record it. I'm very appreciative of it, because I've always said even today that it's the most important song that I've ever heard, and I just happen to have the opportunity to sing it every night.
