haha, im sure cody, jeremy, grady, and randy give a fuck about what you morons think....if its so god damn polished, play at billy bobs and do a better job, until then, be a fan and not a fucking music critic any objections [email protected]

UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Still NO ALABAMA!!! COME ON GUYS WE WANT THIS ONE LIVE. PLEASE PLEASE GIVE IT TO US SOMETIME!!!

While this cd is very bad ass it is polished. This is not the bands fault but still takes away from the cd. In Carny, he even says after the crowd yells "This job it fucking sucks," that I didn't say it!!! So yes, the cd is badass but it is polished. Still a definate buy.

B-Bob's Live album: You just don't get the excited feel that you usually get when you listen to a Cross Canadian CD. I can't even hear Cody's guitar half the time, audience sounds dubbed, and it's boring b/c cody doesn't rant and rave something cool in b/t songs...damn damn damn! I'm dissappointed with this album, I really expected better, but I don't blame CCR for this one either! I still love you guys, I just wish this one was a little better! I look forward to purple! win some, lose some...your still bad asses!!!

I was there when this album was recorded and I enjoy listening to it as much now in my car as I did watching it be done. CCR is doing a great thing with their music and I look forward to the release of Purple. As far as the edition of Mexican Sky onto a cd finally, I have waited for a long time, ever since I heard it on the back porch show. I love that song. You guys keep on rockin.

Wow, for a band who truely cares about the music is so absolutely amazing is this era of Kenny Chesneys, Brad Paisleys, and all the other garbage. True CCR fans know that your shows will never become polished and will always be what the have always been. Good luck and can't wait to hear "The Purple Album."

Kyle and the Ragweed fans: thank you for your support through the years.You're right we didn't have as much control as other albums,we wanted the feel of the Wormy Dog with a better mix. Well we got the better mix and the rest is being negotiated. With the Purple album, we are in complete artistic control! It is one step above 377 and we're pretty positive that you will not be disappointed. It is a Ragweed album true and true. Our fans are what make this band and we listen to every word you have to say...good or bad. We appreciate your honesty and on this subject we feel the same. We're not in this band to get rich, we're in this band because of the music and the people that want the music. The live shows will never be polished, they will always be as rusty as they are because that's who we are. Again, good or bad...we take all the opinions because without the fans we couldn't be a band. We love all you guys and we look forward to seeing you down the road. Peace and love, Cody and CCR

Well I hate to say anything bad because I love Ragweed and have been a big fan for afew years now but, and I don't think this is the bands fault, but the whole CD sounds so polished. My roomate and I listened to the whole thing and then both said one word polished. It almost sounds like a studio album with applause added to the beginning and end of each song. I was at that show and I know it didn't sound like that from the crowd, especially Crazy Eddie's, I mean that is a great song and they cover it so well normally but it sounded really wierd on the CD. How come all the banter between songs with the crowd was edited? Before Crazy Eddie's Cody went into a pretty good rant about country radio that I thought should have been on the CD. They only think I can think of is that CCR did not have as much creative control as normal and the Billy Bobs people wanted things their way. Some goods things though were the selection of songs. Great mix of some great songs from the first CD. The new verse of the President Song is now recorded and that is a plus. Maybe I was just expecting that raw sound like the Wormy dog Cd. If someone had never heard of these band and asked my to play them a CD I would have to hesitate about playing this one because I just don't think it is really them. I don't get on here and bitch and complain about artists like alot of people do, I just wanted to give my opinion and I would be happy to hear your own arguments.

I'm one of CCR's biggest fans, RAN OUT and bought the new Live and Loud! As much as I love CCR, the quality of the album just isn't there! I'm still glad I bought it and I will continue to listen to it (even if it's bad...it's good if it bare's the name CCR). But just to let everyone else know, the production team of this album should be FIRED!!

It's damn good CD, however there is only one Live and Loud and it's from the WORMY DOG
