Are You Ready for the Big Show? is the fourth album by American country music singer Radney Foster. It was released in 2001 for Dualtone Records. It is a live album, featuring re-recordings of Foster's past songs, including his first two singles, "Just Call Me Lonesome" and "Nobody Wins". Also included as a hidden track is "Texas in 1880", which Foster originally released in 1988 as one-half of Foster & Lloyd.[1]

The version from this album, a duet with Pat Green, charted at number 54 on Hot Country Songs in 2001.[2]

Critical reception

[edit]

Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Matt Reasor of Allmusic said that Foster "returns full circle to his neo-traditionalist roots".[1] Jim Caliguri of The Austin Chronicle gave the album three stars, saying that it was "an accurate snapshot of another night of South Austin musical magic."[3]
