Thanks for the heads up. I will have to give the samples a listen on amazon. Since his duet with Cheryl Crowe I have been giving the Kid a chance. I do have more than a little country in my collection and Willie and Norah are both favorites (must say Willies take on the standards ala Stardust are not my cup of tea, but I bet he and KR kicked some @ss! Is that duet available anywhere?
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.
