Live Trucker is a live album by American musician Kid Rock and backing band Twisted Brown Trucker. It was released on February 28, 2006 by Top Dog and Atlantic Records. Most of the album was recorded in August 2004 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan.
Background Unlike the rest of the album, "Devil Without a Cause" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp", which featured Joe C. and Uncle Kracker, were recorded on September 1, 2000 at Pine Knob Music Theatre, while "Cowboy Intro", "Cowboy" and Gretchen Wilson-assisted "Picture", were recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit on March 27, 2004, and "Outstanding" was recorded at Soundcheck in St. Louis.
The cover of the album is in the same style as the Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band album Live Bullet.
Artistry The medley of "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "Fist of Rage," bridged together by Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". "Cowboy" has the Dukes of Hazzard's theme song "Good Ol' Boys" removed from it. Likewise with "Devil Without a Cause" as AC/DC's "Back in Black" was removed from the first chorus. "You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me" includes a verse of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" in the middle of the song.
