ipod don't fail me now

I was running in a four-mile freedom run on July 4th and listening to my ipod. I wanted a great song for the final stretch, and what do you know, Kenny Chesney's "I Go Back" comes on. But just around the last few meters, the ipod froze so I didn't get to hear the rest of the song. And I didn't get that final push.

Which country artists need to release live albums? I heard Joe Diffie's coming out with one next month. I think Brooks & Dunn are due for a live release.

Are live albums worth it if you already have the studio versions of the songs? I happen to think so, but that's just my opinion. I always like hearing the song a little bit differently, and I often purchase the live versions off itunes, even if I have the studios.

Obviously, there's more energy. And it's something different.
