The album features live performances of Turner's biggest hits including Long Black Train, Why Don't We Just Dance, Your Man and an unreleased version of Waylon Jennings' America.
The performances were recorded at 12 different live shows from Lancaster, Pa. to Austin during Turner's 2012 tour, which continues through December and is sponsored exclusively by Cracker Barrel.
"This is my second go-round with Cracker Barrel, who also sponsors my tour. We came up with the idea of taking a mobile studio out on the road and recording our show every night.
