Live Trucker is a live album by Kid Rock and the Twisted Brown Trucker band. It was released on February 28, 2006, via Top Dog/ Atlantic Records. Most of the songs were recorded from August 26 through August 28, 2004 at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan, except "Devil Without a Cause" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp", which featured Joe C. and Uncle Kracker and were recorded on September 1, 2000 at Pine Knob Music Theatre, "Cowboy Intro", "Cowboy" and Gretchen Wilson-assisted " Picture", which were recorded at Cobo Arena in Detroit on March 27, 2004, and " Outstanding", which was recorded at soundcheck in St. Louis.
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.
The cover of the album is in the same style as the Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band album Live Bullet.
