A genial live set, Kenny Chesney's LIVE THOSE SONGS AGAIN is a 14-track summation of the Nashville country star's laid-back charms. Recorded at various shows going all the way back to 1998 in front of uniformly enthusiastic crowds (on "Anything But Mine," the large audience sings the chorus almost unaccompanied), these tracks show more of Chesney's pop and rock influences, with a looser and more swaggering edge than his comparatively restrained studio albums. This is best shown on a thumping, rocked-out version of the barroom standard "Beer In Mexico."
