Rock n Roll Jesus
: :Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem 'Bawitdaba.' Other hits like 'Cowboy' and 'American Bad A**' followed while ballads like his 'Picture' duet with Sheryl Crow and 'Only God Knows Why' helped to propel him forward as one of ...

Devil Without a Cause
: :It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of 'Fight for Your Right to Party' and 'Brass Monkey,' the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like 'I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer' and 'I started an escort service--for all the right reasons,' it's obvious that ...

Cocky
: :Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, ...

Rock N Roll Jesus
: :Kid Rock maintains a remarkable propensity for wearing his contradictions on his sleeve, and more than anything he's previously released, Rock n Roll Jesus finds fuel in unresolved opposites. Is he a hard-core chauvinist ('Half Your Age') or a would-be gentlemen ('When U Love Someone')? Is he a God-fearing everyman ('Blue Jeans and a Rosary') or a bohemian hero ('So Hott')? These questions are nothing new, even if the album at hand takes them to freshly delirious extremes. Ever since he first began shedding his ...

Kid Rock
: :Is Kid Rock about to drop the first half of his stage moniker? Some alarmingly mature cuts on his sixth album, addressing the woes of single parenthood ('Single Dad') and painful separations ('Cold and Empty,' a cover of Bob Seger's 'Hard Night For Sarah'), might suggest so. But that's only part of the story. As Rock reiterates on 'Son of Detroit,' a butt-kicking revamp of David Allan Coe's 'Son of the South,' 'I like country, soul, rock and roll, and I love me some hip-hop.' ...

The History of Rock
: :The History of Rock arrives as the sort of superstardom-celebrating release that can buy a hot-selling artist time. (Think, say, G N' R Lies.) After 8 million (and counting) sales of 1998's Devil Without a Cause, the trailer-rockin' rapper is out to remind the world that it hardly started there. Mostly drawn, and often retooled, from his out-of-print Polyfuze Method and Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp, these tracks display a 'funky country hick' already on point with his knowing, hardheaded combo of old-school beats and classic-rock ...

Live Trucker
: :Essentially a live greatest-hits package, 'Live' Trucker, recorded before several different Detroit-area crowds, reminds us not only that Kid has long been an entertainer first and songwriter second but that he can surprise even the most jaded listener at the most unexpected moment. He works the urban hillbilly angle to the hilt, gives shouts out to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cobo Hall and offers hope to disenfranchised kids in crummy apartment complexes and trailer parks from sea to shining sea via 'Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train' ...
