It opens with “Hank It” and it is followed by “Backwoods” and the infectious “Flyin’ Down A Back Road.” It is followed by the sassy “You Look Like I Need A Drink” and the mid-tempo “Somebody Else Will.”
He shows his witty side on the hilarious “Bait A Hook” and it continues with the liberating “Kinda Don’t Care.” “Til My Last Day” is a neat traditional country love song while “f Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” really tugs at the heartstrings.
Several noteworthy guest performers join him in this live show such as Chris Janson (“Country State of Mind”), David Lee Murphy (“I Ain’t Living Long Like This”) and Ricky Skaggs and The Whites (“Honey (Open That Door),” which help add to its appeal.
After his signature anthem “Small Town USA,” it closes with the spitfire “I Could Kick Your Ass” and yet another love song, “Point At You,” where he leaves his fans wanting to hear more.
Most impressive about this collection is that it captures the essence and the rawness of a live show, and it makes country fans feel as if they are there with him at The Ryman, which is affectionately known as the “Mother Church of Country Music.”
