Essentially a live greatest-hits package, 'Live' Trucker, recorded before several different Detroit-area crowds, reminds us not only that Kid has long been an entertainer first and songwriter second but that he can surprise even the most jaded listener at the most unexpected moment. He works the urban hillbilly angle to the hilt, gives shouts out to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cobo Hall and offers hope to disenfranchised kids in crummy apartment complexes and trailer parks from sea to shining sea via "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train" and "American Bad Ass." Although the last name is Rock, Kid's never been afraid of letting a little bit of honky tonk piano into the mix or blending classic southern soul and the heaviest of rap 'n' roll as he does in "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp." He's also not opposed to revealing his deep and apparently authentic affinity for country, something he does during the touching "Picture" with his Nashville counterpart Gretchen Wilson. Ultimately, 'Live' Trucker rises above the usual stopgap status of live and greatest hits recordings and stands tall, a statue of redneck rebellion, and reveals that Kid Rock's just getting started. --Jedd Beaudoin

Live Kid rocks!!! February 28, 2006

Like the blurb on the packaging says there's no extra's here.... no bonus tracks....no exclusive footage...no remixes... just straight ahead high octane "live trucker" music courtesy of the Kid and Twisted Brown Trucker Band.
There are thirteen songs overall, fourteen if you choose to include the intro to cowboy which is a folksy blues riff from the Kid featuring a tounge in cheek dig at some of his contempories, so at a tick over seventy minutes this is obviously not a full live show but rather various selections from Kid Rock's homestand in 2004 as well as a couple of cuts from a 2000 show also performed in Clarkson, MI.
The setlist is seamless nontheless allthough a full show would not have been unwarrented.
Proceedings kick of with a bang with the balls out rocker Son of Detroit which is full on and gets the crowd up from the get go. With Bawitaba and Cowboy (surprisingly early on in the set for mine) following hot on it's heels there is not a lot of downtime either.
With elements of country, hip-hop, rock, blues and soul there's a bit of something for everyone who likes their music with no frills and no fuss. You can tell that the Kid likes what he does and has a good time doing it.
Most all of the songs that you'd expect are here (with the possible exception of Bulldog) allthough Picture is covered with Gretchen Wilson rather than Sheryl Crow this time around. I guess Ms. Crow was probably chasing Lance Armstrong around the tour de France at the time it was recorded.
The packaging includes various high gloss live shots from onstage during the tour and ends with the Kid's credo.....
"If it looks good, you'll see it;
if it sounds good, you'll hear it;
if it's marketed right, you'll buy it;
but...if it's real, you'll feel it"
.....this is a live disk you will feel.
 Awesome Live CD March 5, 2006

Live Trucker epitomizes what the live Kid Rock show is all about. The only way it would have been better is if it would have been 2 CDs or perhaps if it would have included a DVD. The band sounds great, the Kid is in awesome form, & it includes many of his best songs. I so respect that someone will put out a solid live CD with musicians who actually play their instruments. What a concept. I highly recommend this album. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait for his next studio album.

This album wont appeal to your poppy Mtv crowd, not anymore. Kid Rock has evolved as all talented musicians do. Yes I would have like more songs, but hey im a fan, i always want more. But this album delivers on hits, the amazing sound of his live performances. And the real music played by a real band. Its a throwback to a time when the live album was a regular thing. But the problem with most of todays music is its so fake with background musicians, background singers, and studio polishing, that the "artist" doesnt have the talent to put on a kick ass show. Kid Rock proves once again that he isnt on of those artists. He can sing, TBT is a kick ass band, and together they are probobly one of the most talented acts in music. A must have for any music fan.
Best Live Album EVER! March 4, 2006

God, I love this CD. It has not left my CD changer. I have not listeded to anything else in days. My eardrums are beginning to hurt, but I do not care. This is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. Thank you Kid Rock for putting out such an OUTSTANDING collection of live rock music. You and the TBT Band are truely talented musicians that can not be matched by anyone. It's nice to know that someone is still cranking out good rock and roll. I am looking forward to the studio album!
a definate piece of work from Kid but the end of the era March 2, 2006

This is straight up no frills live cd,With most of the biggest hits from Kid's hay days. This is probally the last record ever to have Kid Rock rapping and rocking as his direction has turned and evolved, but a classic way to relive the past and rap up this era of rock and TBT. The album shows that Rock gives one hell of a show, like no one else and no matter how hes critised on every cd no one can rock it like this.
Kid Rock is probally the most versitile artist ever certainly at present.
2006 Is a big year for Kid the new studio album will put him back at the top and rightly so. A great listen highly recommened!!!
