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. [1]

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." [2]

Commercial performance

Live in No Shoes Nation debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Chesney's eighth album to top the chart. It sold in its first week 217,000 copies (219,000 equivalent album units), most of which were generated from sales of concert ticket/album bundle offers. [3] It sold a further 51,000 copies in the second week. [4] As of April 2019, the album has sold 488,800 copies in the United States. [5] On July 31, 2018, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over a million units in the United States.
