Live in No Shoes Nation is the second live album by American country music singer Kenny Chesney. It was released on October 27, 2017 via Columbia Records.

Content

The album features several of Chesney's singles dating back to 2001, along with various album tracks and cover songs. It includes guest appearances from Eric Church, Taylor Swift, Grace Potter, Dave Matthews, and other artists.

Critical reception

Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "While Live in No Shoes Nation is quite slick in both its performance and production, part of its charm is that it's such a professional affair. Chesney may possess an unassuming voice and his songs, even the rocking ones, are laid-back, but he knows how to pump up a crowd."
