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." Yet compared to his previous work, that last flavor takes a back seat to the other three: Hank Williams, Jr. drops by for the swaggering "Cadillac Pussy," Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" gets a gritty nu-metal update, and ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd receive shout outs. Have no fear, fans--even as he reconciles having a child with acting like one, the Kid still lives to rock. --Kurt B. Reighley

I know this album will more-than-likely turn off his (possibly narrow-minded) rap fans, but let me clarify...this is NOT a COUNTRY album. I guess folks that are so entwined in the hip-hop world and NEVER venture outside ONE genre of music (WHAT A CONFINED CURSE THAT MUST BE! EXPAND YE MIND!!!) This is an AMERICAN album!! It comprises hip-hop, country, and a little ol' genre some have forgotten about...ROCK AND ROLL!!! This is a natural extension of "Cocky". That album was a little more organic than "Devil" and this is even more organic. And hey, if I'm not mistaken, he raps on "Intro", does a Prince-type rap on "Black Bob", and has a bunch of scratches and hip-hop type production going on. And no, the whole album is NOT like "Picture" for Pete's sake! Jackson, MS is a HEAVY METAL song! (OK, maybe more Molly Hatchet heavy than Pantera heavy, but still...) And there's plenty of ROCK - hey, it's a nice balance of ballads and partiers.
Kid brought back the ATTITUDE WITH A PERSONALITY that was missing in hard rock since Axl lost his mind. We've got our rock'n'roll frontman for the new millennium - following Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, Steve Tyler, and Mr. Rose. A void that needed to be filled 'cause it sure was empty when all we had was Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder complaining with no humor at all. Hey, Kid brought back WOMEN AND BOOZE...and threw PC back into the dumpster! God bless him!
Bottom line: hey Ritchie - don't fret it if your "Stoned Pimp" fans forsake you for following your dream, us old rock'n'rollers welcome you with open arms...we also loved "Devil" and "Cocky", 'cause as Hank, Jr. once sang: "we like all kinds of music and people, 'cause we don't draw no lines". Looks like some of your old rap fans are the ones intolerant to anything with a melody or singing...well, to each his own.

The Devil without a Cause has done it again! Another great album that expresses his deepest thoughts and emotions. The "word on the street" is that Kid Rock went soft and his music has gone country. This may be true for the more naive Kid Rock fans. There is an obvious transition through his last three albums which reflects his growing maturity as an artist and as a human being. Its not to say that he is getting past his prime when it comes to being an American Badass, but he is paying his respect to "good old fashioned" music. He has had the oppurtunity to work with music legends and popular artists such as: Bob Seger, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Sheryl Crow, Eminem, and scores more. By now fans should know what Kid Rock is all about. He's not just in it for the money, fans, women, and booze, not to say that he doesn't mind these things, but above all of this, he does what he does for the music. He does what he does for Detroit. And he does what he does for himself.
In this album the Kid goes back to his roots, which of course are the "sticks" of northern Macomb County in a small town called Romeo. As a child he grew up listening to some of the music that helped define what the word "music" meant to him. Kid Rock has never been the type of artist that is easily predicted. His unique creativity and insight in his music allows him to never be categorized in one genre. As he states in I am, " you'll never put your finger on me."

Now I must admit that Kid Rock never caught my attention until Devil without a Cause. Although I do favor the intensity of that album over the slow jams with Sheryl Crow, I can respect the artists choice in the music that he puts on his album. He isn't trying to win the fans over, he has already done that. Now he writes music for himself and to observe which fans will continue to support and love his music.
I never truly understood what his message was until I attended my very first Kid Rock concert. That night will remain important to me until the day I die. He feeds off the emotion from the crowd. During the show not a single seat in the Palace actually had a someone sitting in it. The show never seemed to stop, the crowd never died down, and the Kid continued his energetic, phantasmagoric performance until he physically could not continue. Which was long after I was pooped. I strongly recommend attending one his shows and witnessing who Kid Rock really is and then you will truly understand what his music is all about.

I got a confession to make: I'm a country fan. I bet a lot of you are. You heard "Picture"--which somehow made it up the country charts a ways--and you wanna check out Kid Rock. Maybe you'd better check out Sheryl Crow instead.
Now if you're like me, you like different genres of music. I primary dabble in country...but I got a thing for good rock 'n' roll. Now, Kid Rock ain't classic rock 'n' roll--I'm talking Springsteen and John Cougar here--but he has a pretty damn good idea what rock is...and rap...and heavy metal...and country...
The songs--it's all about the songs. "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train" is anything but painful to listen to (I got a million of 'em!). "Cadillac Pussy" feat. Hank Jr. is a good rocker; and "Black Bob" and "Intro" delve into his rapping more than the other tracks.
Now, as a country fan, my favorites are, of course, the ballads. How about "Do it For You?" Too pop? There's "Feel Like Makin' Love", a good mix of pop/rock/country. And "Hard Night For Sarah" is a remake of a Bob Seger song. "Cold And Empty" is a country ballad--co-written by Kenny Chesney, so of course it's country. And "Single Father" is an emotional number co-written by David Allen Coe.
Not into ballads? Well, my favorite's the tongue-in-cheek "Run Off To L.A.", co-written by and featuring the afore-mentioned Sheryl Crow. "Son of Detroit" is a re-written version of the afore-mentioned Coe's "Son of the South." "I Am" can only be descrived as American Rock 'n' Roll. And "Jackson, Mississippi" is just a good tune. And "Hillbilly Stomp" features the one and only Billy Gibbens (of ZZ Top, you poor person who didn't know that).
Did I miss any? If so--too bad.
So, hopefully you aren't put off by Kid Rock's language. You shouldn't be--a song is a song is a song, and if it has some "expressive" language in it...so much the better (if you want to completely ruin the CD, go by an edited version). If you think you can tough it out--if you're enough of a music fan at heart--then you should go right ahead and purchase this CD. Trust me...if you don't rock with this thing in your CD player, you ain't got a set of ears!
