All around Great CD

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

This CD is excellent. Back to "Old School" where most every song is fabulous not just the one or two radio hits to sell a record with the rest of the songs thrown in for fill-in. Kid Rock seems to be searching here and finding acceptance in himself with so many of his songs. Excellent road-tripping music and somewhat has a nostalgic feel to it. I bought an extra copy to have as back up in case my other one gets too scratched. Good rock-n-roll !

Expectations will determine reactions

If you buy this expecting a heavy dose of the metal or hip hop from his early career, not only haven't you been paying attention but you'll certainly be left wanting. That's not what he's been writing lately and that's OK.

This record has an older, classic rock feel with "Detroit" rhythm and blues roots. The parallel that came to mind for me was Bob Seger. The songs range from rock'n roll to sentimentality with some toe-tapping and guitar mixed in for good measure.

What it is: well written, well played, occasionally catchy and a generally good groove start to finish.

What it isn't: fist pumping, foot stomping, in your face - or alternately, exceptional or groundbreaking in what it strives for.

Bottom line: As long as you're not blindly Devil Without a Cause II, it's 3 or 4 stars depending on how it speaks to you but there's nothing to push it into 5 star territory.

Born Free

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011

Kid Rock's Born Free is one of the most fabulous albums I have ever purchased from ANY artist. I admit I became aware of Kid Rock by way of country music, and I haven't been a fan anywhere near as long as some of the other reviewers here. Before I bought this album, I had his Rock N Roll Jesus CD.... I liked that one, but Born Free was what really made me realize the full extent of his talent and fall in love with his music as a whole - and I purchased several more of his albums after that.

My favorite song from Born Free is Purple Sky. It is rock n roll perfection, and it feels so good that I wish it could go on forever. Absolutely amazing.

There are so many beautiful songs on this album, including the patriotic Born Free and Times Like These (I know he's singing about Detroit, but this song could apply to America as a whole), Rock On (which has gone a long way in helping me heal from a painful divorce), Collide (a gorgeous duet with Sheryl Crow) and When It Rains (a song about untimely death that brings a tear to the eye). I also like the feel-good songs including Rock Bottom Blues, Flyin' High and God Bless Saturday. There's not a bad song on the whole album, and Kid Rock knocks it out of the park blending rock n roll, country and blues. This disc has such a great vibe that I could listen to it all day long.

I hate reading all these gripes accusing Kid Rock of "selling out" because he's taking a new direction. I like his older music too, but he has evolved as an artist and as a man... And I should think that most longtime fans have also evolved as people over the last decade or so. He's 40 years old now, and his life is different than it was 15 years ago. People should expect that to be reflected in his music. I think he is showing us what's inside his soul, and I appreciate his honesty. As much as I appreciated it when he was being honest about his bad@$$ ways.

I am one of those who believes that rock & roll has long since passed it's zenith. At least 20 years have gone by. But every once in a while an album springs from the crypt to give me hope that the true genre will return. This is one of those moments. Yeah, I know it's Kid Rock and in many circles it's not cool to admit liking his music. That said, "Rock & Roll Jesus" continues to sell well. If there is any interest in a vintage sound, those who yearn for it should pick this up. I purchased it on vinyl but there was no bonus cuts associated with buying that way. There's not a bad cut on here. (I'm not one to review albums cut by cut.) I will say that even the overly ubiquitous Sheryl Crow back-up vocals are welcome here; on Collide. That same cut has Bob Seger on the ivories but to me knowing that adds nothing. But if Seger's style of rocking is pleasing to you this album will not disappoint.

I purchased this album for the song Born Free not really liking much by Kid Rock. However, I was totally surprised and I enjoy the entire album. Pretty good stuff, much better then I ever expected.

A softer, kinder Kid Rock but still has an edge.

I found Kid Rock late in life. I really appreciate his Rock/Country sound. He's still got that great raspy voice and impeccable writing. An amazing talent and another fantastic album. Buy it today!

Flying high!

Every song's a winner. Great work by the 40-plus-year-old who's still a kid at head. Interestingly, more religious sentiment (words/phrases) tha debauchery. Kid Rock on the right side of the Force.

Also, he's self-deprecating: In the banter for one song, Zac Brown asks, "Is that as good as you want to sing it?'' and Robert Ritchie answers, "That's about as good as I can sing it."

Dude doesn't take himself too seriously; definitely not a Seinfeldian "delicate genius!"

Another Fine Album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2011

ROCK N ROLL JESUS Kids last album is one of my favourite albums,so this one had a lot to prove for me,and the verdict is slightly dissapointing,but only slightly.The heavy rock tunes are missing and the record is more laid back,but that's not all bad as this is a fine album,perhaps Kids showing his age as this album shoud appeal to a much wider audience,It has a country rock feel to it with plenty of swagger.
The more i listen,the nore I like.and thats how a good album should be.

I absolutely adore this album. Kid Rock has produced one of the best country albums I've heard in a long while. Kid Rock has always been great with his lyrics, particularly with ballads. I've found some great tracks on here, Purple Sky, When it Rains for more reflective times and also great tunes for getting into a part mood (God Bless Saturday).
