Cross Canadian Ragweed Confirms Live Album From 2025’s “Boys From Oklahoma” Concerts Is Coming Soon
Get ready.
Against all odds, 2025 proved to be nothing short of a miracle for Cross Canadian Ragweed. After making their long-awaited return to the stage in January at Mile 0 Fest in Key West, Florida, Ragweed dropped the bombshell and announced their grand reunion: “The Boys From Oklahoma” Concert series, a four-night experience in April, along with fellow Red Dirt legends, Turnpike Troubadours. This would later expand into a “Texas Encore” edition of the reunion, which included Shane Smith & The Saints, Wade Bowen and more in August.
Given the success last year, with all the aforementioned shows selling out, Ragweed has been hitting the road hard again this year. Not only did they headline Mile 0 Fest in Key West, Florida, but they also teamed up with Turnpike once again for two “Boys From Oklahoma” concerts in Athens, Georgia, back in February.
In March, fresh off a sold-out show at Houston Rodeo, the Red Dirt legends would send fans into a frenzy by teasing what looked to be their first new live album in nearly 20 years, sharing a cropped album cover for a record seemingly titled Live & Loud.

Over the weekend, Ragweed would return to Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they made their grand return at the “Boys From Oklahoma” series last year, and it proved to be another massive success. Calling upon Turnpike once again, they’d also bring out fellow Oklahoman, Wyatt Flores, as well as Shane Smith & the Saints, they performed to another sold-out crowd in their home state.
On a night filled with memorable moments, ranging from a performance with Smith and Co. on “17” to closing the show with a cover of Charlie Robison’s “My Hometown,” frontman Cody Canada delivered the best news of the night by confirming that the live album is officially on the way.
Talking to the Stillwater crowd, he would confirm that Live and Loud will consist of songs from the original four-night run of the “Boys From Oklahoma” concerts last year.
“So last year we had four nights of this, 100 songs. I know this because I went through this in a studio and went down a list of everything we did last year for a reason, so maybe one day we could have a live album called ‘Live From Boone Pickens Stadium.’ We should call it ‘Live and Loud From Boone Pickens Stadium.'”
Following up on the announcement at the show, Ragweed would then take to Instagram Sunday afternoon to post yet another teaser for the live album. Uploading a slick animation of the Easter egg-filled album cover coming to life, they would confirm the record’s Live and Loud From Boone Pickens Stadium title.

As Canada noted at the Stillwater show, there’s plenty to choose from for the album. In case you forgot, Turnpike’s Evan Felker and Kyle Nix, Parker McCollum, Wyatt Flores, Kaitlin Butts, Wade Bowen, Mike McClure, Jason Boland, Dierks Bentley, Shelby Stone and Graycie York all made appearances with Ragweed throughout the legendary four-night run last year on various songs. While there’s no confirmation if any of the collaborations will make the final tracklist for Live and Loud, there’s no denying that it would be a dream come true for Red Dirt fans to hear all of these massive collaborations in studio quality.
As of now, Live and Loud From Boone Pickens Stadium does not have a release date; however, it’s safe to say that we’ll get an official announcement here very soon.
