Livin' It Up! is the fourteenth semi-based "lifestyle" studio album by Sammy Hagar and the Waboritas. While writing with Kenny Chesney and covering Toby Keith, Hagar began singing about enjoying the life of a beach dweller. It was vaguely reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett's career, and Hagar even used this time as an opportunity to meet more easy-going party fans as he went on a brief tour with Chesney.[2]
Song information
- "I Love This Bar" was previously recorded by Toby Keith for his 2003 album Shock'n Y'all.
- "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is a cover of a Bob Dylan song, originally released on his 1966 album Blonde on Blonde.
- The first version of the song "Halfway to Memphis" was recorded for the Hagar's album Not 4 Sale.
- "Let Me Take You There" was called "I'll Take You There" when it was recorded by the soul/gospel family band the Staple Singers. The song was included on the group's 1972 album Be Altitude: Respect Yourself.
