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.

Hi every one,
First of all.....take it easy guys...it's almost Christmas.
Not that I am a saint but come on....
Second of all, it is not that bad (album). I quess it depends on individual taste and the mood your are in(great car tracks - will keep you up).
I also listen to different kinds of music but every now and then I like to try something new.

As of his latest album being the best of his work....I am not going to be the judge of that. It is somewhat diferent with mixed styles that is for sure. Personaly , I kind of liked the first 6, 1or2 from second half including the last bonus song - track 14.
I think it could have been even better if he tone down....just a little with profanity. Just my opnion.
This tread reminds me of the Howard Stern phenomena.
If you know what I mean...
A lots of fans and even more critics.

The original question was:
if anyone has any imput on his "new" sound.

So, to stay on the topic.....Yes it is kind of chaotic.
Hard to figured out the direction his album is going.
Sounds to me like a sample record. Unsure of him self and trying to find a balance lyrics to resurrect the fading rock "star". Choosing the right path seams to be more appropriate title for this album.
Anyway, if you are looking for Amadeus Mozart....look some place else. For those who like to ROCK it might be worth a listen. Who knows,... you might like it (or not).

Cheers and

Marry Christmas to all.
