Kid Rock Artist Snapshot:

Self-proclaimed "King of White Trash" (and proud of it), Kid Rock took his rap-meets-rock-meets-country hybrid to the top of the charts. After opening as a bratty hip-hop artist in the Beastie Boys mode in the early-'90s, Kid came back with a vengeance, diminutive rapper Joe C by his side, on the 1998 smash DEVIL WITHOUT A CAUSE. With a pimp/stud schtick worked to the hilt, he's an outspoken rock & roll spotlight-grabber the likes of which hasn't been seen since the glory days of David Lee Roth. He even betrayed his mellower side on the trail ballad and 2002 hit duet with Sheryl Crow, "Picture."

Rolling Stone (12/25/03, p.107) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2003"
Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.198) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...KID ROCK is a monster: raucous and clever and unpredictable....This album is proof that Kid Rock knows what he's doing..."
Q (4/04, p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Rock's response is to ease off the hip hop and get back to the '70s, and it works."

Recorded at The Allen Roadhouse, Detroit, Michigan.

Kid Rock's self-titled fourth major-label outing finds him proudly reaffirming his blue-collar roots and love of classic rock and outlaw country music by inviting a bunch of famous friends to join him and his Twisted Brown Trucker Band in kicking out the Detroit-style jams. Any rap nuances are subtle, with turntable scratches sprinkled over the mid-tempo rocker "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train," a hip-hop cadence pacing "Hillbilly Stomp" (featuring Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top), and the kind of fanfare-laced "Intro" that you'd expect from someone who put out an album entitled COCKY.

Wielding an impressive array of stringed instruments, this Michigan native moves easily from a straightforward reading of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" to resurrecting "Hard Night for Sarah," a previously unrecorded song from the Bob Seger archives. Rock's appealing croon not only works well on the aforementioned Seger song, but on the Harry Nilsson-like "Run Off to LA," his reunion with former paramour Sheryl Crow. Otherwise, he's mixing it up with Hank Williams, Jr. on the lascivious "Cadillac Pussy," recasting David Allen Coe's "Son of the South" as the hyper-boogie of "Son of Detroit," and running through the autobiographical anthem "I Am."
