Of the ten songs included here, all but "I Threw the Rest Away" were hugely successful singles for Lawrence.

Lawrence compiled the album through a makeshift studio on his tour bus, choosing from over 40 recordings made in the six months prior to the album's completion.

He co-produced with Flip Anderson, a member of his road band.

[2] Country Standard Time reviewer George Hauenstein gave the album a positive review, writing that "Lawrence is one of the best, most popular artist on the scene today, known for his very likeable, high energy stage shows.

His legion of fans will no doubt be pleased with Live, which is essentially a greatest hits collection.
