Give the new Kid Rock a shot.

Haven't heard the new "Kid Rock" but I do know that for some time he has been embracing the Hank,Jr/Southern Rock side of Country Music and as a person who grew up on classic southern rock such as the Allmans, Marshall Tucker, Skynyrd, ect. I certainly appreciate people like him trying to keep that sound alive. Might have to check out what "the Kid" is up to. Any videos on CMT or GAC, yet?

My attitude is you don't care for an artist, musician, performer, ect. then pass the topic by, unless you've "actually" have listen to the artist and can make a judgement from you've what you've heard. To judge without actually listening is "narrow minded". Also, people need to judge "apples with apples" and "oranges with oranges". I would never judge what what Kid Rock does, with let say, John Coltrane. Two completely different catagories of music. Coltrane is for my serious music listening, people like "Kid Rock" is the "fun stuff". And btw, it's alright to listen to music that's "fun" and might not meet audiophile standards. Btw, I don't own a "Kid Rock" CD, preferring instead to listening to classic southern rockers such as the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ect and honky-tonkers such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens and Hank Williams, Sr. Now I appreciate that Kid Rock and others like him are trying to keep this music alive, and I've also seen their videos and concerts on CMT and GAC, and for most part they do a "pretty good" job, but for myself I prefer the orginals that I've listed above.
