Give the new Kid Rock a shot.


I initially picked up the Kid Rock "Rock and Roll Jesus" and scanned it quickly. Not bad but it was not on my must play list. I gave it a run the other day and I'm here listening to it yet again. What a change in the "Kid". He is sounding Skynard / rock / mountain music / fun. Two of the favorites are #10 "Blue jeans and a rosary" and #11 "Half your age" (the more you hear this one the more you like it). I like all sorts of music from classical to country and this disk is up with my favorites. LMK if anyone has any imput on his "new" sound.

Barber, krall, etc. yeah, I've got a ton of that, Black and Shaded dogs, ECms, $30k in my turntable.

I saw KR on the Larry/Santa roast (sweet Jesus, believe me, I was just passing through!!) Not since Bowie at the Music awards 8 years ago with "I'm afraid of Americans" have I just gone slack-jawed and immediately left the house to go buy the music.

Awesome. It makes my wife grit her teeth (of course, she's too good to actually LISTEN to it) and I have to keep the grandkids away from the language, but I love it and it's not recorded too badly, given current standards, (or lack thereof).

Let's be clear, I have no other KR and may not buy more, but this is great RR: sort of Run DMC/skynard/Guns and Roses, Arrowsmith (when they were way too stoned) and Ike and Tina (when they both had balls). Best commercial rock I've heard in over 10 years.
