Live is the first live album by duo All Sons & Daughters, released on April 23, 2013 by Integrity Music. The album was produced with One Sonic Society member Paul Mabury.

All Sons & Daughters was an American Christian worship music duo, who performed in the styles of acoustic and folk music, originating from Franklin, Tennessee. The group's leads were Leslie Anne Jordan on vocals and guitar and David Alan Leonard on vocals and piano. They are worship leaders at Journey Church in Franklin, which is a non-denominational church. They have four full-length, commercial album releases, all on the Integrity Music label: Season One, Live, All Sons & Daughters and Poets & Saints. On February 9, 2018, after taking a year off they announced that their "season as a band has come to an end".

One Sonic Society is a contemporary worship music collective from around the globe. That collective is composed of songwriter Jason Ingram on vocals, guitar and piano, Delirious? lead guitarist Stuart Garrard on guitar and vocals, Hillsong UNITED drummer Paul Mabury on drums and programming, Jonathan Thatcher bass guitarist from Delirious? on bass and synths. The Christian music collective released their debut studio album under the Essential Records label on 28 February 2012 called Forever Reign. Their single "Forever Reign" was put in rotation during 2011 by many US radio stations. On 7 January 2012, the song was No. 7 on K-LOVE top songs chart and was at the same number on 14 January.

Live has been met with universal acclaim for the album from the seven critics. At CCM Magazine , Grace S. Aspinwall found that even though "modern worship is becoming more and more prevalent [...] All Sons and Daughters show they can hold their own with this latest release, Live." [2] In addition, Aspinwall wrote that "the recording is of superb quality, and showcases their exemplary vocals", and evoked that "there are no mediocre songs on this record, and it will stand out in 2013." [2] At Indie Vision Music, Jonathan Andre told the release is "an incorporation of hit songs from albums previous, is a great album if you have adored the band for years, or even if you have just started listening to this folk-acoustic-worship band." [3] Jesus Freak Hideout founder John DiBiase called this album a "gorgeous outing". [4] Also, Ryan Barbee of Jesus Freak Hideout told that "this album is their best yet", and closed with noting that "everyone involved with this project should take a deep breath and know that this project is without a doubt, 'A job well done.'" [5] Ed Rotheram of Louder Than the Music evoked that the release "made me think two main things: 1) it is one of the most concentrated albums of great worship songs I've ever heard; and 2) it is a very natural live album - there is a completeness to the set." [6] At New Release Tuesday, Sarah Fine affirmed that "this project is a potential game-changer in the area of live corporate worship. Intimate and deeply personal, it still carries the weight of a heavy-hitting worship album recorded in a packed out church or arena." [7] The Phantom Tollbooth's Derek Walker told that "there is a watermark through every beautiful note." [8]
