Live Those Songs Again (BNA, 2006)

As he rose from middle of the pack hat act to headliner, Kenny Chesney has gained quite a reputation for his energetic live performances. The Tennessee native gives a glimpse into his live show with a 14-song disc of previously recorded material recorded at live shows in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Knoxville, Nashville and the Bahamas.

On a live record, you look for it to sound different than the studio recording - and Chesney accomplished that with mixed results. There's a 30-second guitar intro to the rocker "Young," but songs like "Never Gonna Feel Like That Again" and "Don't Happen Twice" sound almost identical to their studio version.

Before "What I Need To Do", Chesney introduces his band - something that many artists cut out of their live albums.

The crowd sings many of the songs back to Chesney, which always captures the essence of a live show. Other highlights include "When the Sun Goes Down,� the duet with Uncle Kracker where you can feel the excitement of Kracker joining in on the duet, and an extended version of "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy,� which features a lengthy drum intro.
