Live: Wherever You Are is an album, released in 2006, by country music artist Jack Ingram. His first album for Big Machine Records, it is largely a live album, although it features two studio tracks respectively entitled "Wherever You Are" and "Love You", both of which were released as singles. The former became Ingram's breakthrough hit, having reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 2006.

Content

Although mostly composed of live tracks, the album contains two original studio recordings. These are "Wherever You Are" and "Love You". Much of the content was recorded at Gruene Hall in Texas and was originally released independently in 2004 as Happy Happy. Upon re-release for Big Machine Records, the album had some tracks removed and the two studio cuts added. [2] Also added was "Never Knocked Me Down", which Ingram and then-labelmate Danielle Peck originally recorded for the concert series CMT Outlaws (on CMT) in 2005. [3] Live: Wherever You Are was the first release for Big Machine. [4]

Both "Wherever You Are" and "Love You" were issued as singles, charting on Billboard Hot Country Songs in 2006. [5] The former was the first number-one single for the Big Machine label. [6]

Critical reception

Brian Wahlert of Country Standard Time reviewed the album favorably, writing that "Ingram distinguishes himself with fantastic songs and a stage energy that's palpable on this live recording." [7] Thom Jurek of AllMusic was less favorable, criticizing the album's flow due to the presence of the CMT Outlaws recording and studio recordings. [1]
