Rocking the USA is the first White Lion live compilation album released in 2005, now better known as Tramp's White Lion or White Lion 2, with all new band members again but still features original lead singer Mike Tramp.

Following the release of five solo albums in the last seven years ending with the album Songs I Left Behind in 2004, Tramp continued with the reformation of White Lion. The album Last Roar which was also released in 2004 featured new re-recorded versions of White Lion classic tracks and with the new line up Tramp went on tour in 2005.

All the songs on Rocking the USA are taken from the recent tour with the new line up and features all of White Lion's charted singles.^[2] The live versions of "Wait" and "When the Children Cry" were released as promo and later iTunes singles and were also released as bonus tracks on Return of the Pride in 2008.^[3]

A live music video was made for the song "Lights and Thunder" which features on the White Lion DVD Bang Your Head Festival 2005.^[4]

In 2007 a single disc edition of the album was released under the title "White Lion: Live Extended Versions".
