Music reviews of Kid RockMusic Review: Kid Rock grows up and moves forward.
I used to look at Kid Rock as a cheesy novelty act. I just couldn't take the guy seriously at all as an artist with all his rap/rock bragging about how great and tough a guy he is, and how his music is so great, and how much money he makes and how many women he can get. It seems like a guy who always has to brag that much in his songs is insecure and is trying to proove himself to the world. That stuff wears thin very quickly. It got to the point of him sounding like some juvenile fratboy bragging about how much he could drink or how often he gets laid. Yawn! So what. There comes a time when you have to grow up lyrically and musically and leave that stuff behind. I got his last cd "Cocky" because musically i liked the direction of some of the songs. The song "Picture" from that cd was a hint of a much more diversified and talented side to Kid Rock that i didn't know existed. He actally has a pretty decent voice, and i thought that it was brave and mature of him to go off in a totally different genre than his other cds. The song worked in his favor. It was a bit of a joke for CMT to have nominated him for country artist of the year for that song, when he was up against more seasoned artists who've been in the country genre for years and decades, because Kid Rock is not a country artist, but that song was excellent. I hoped that his new cd would have more songs in that direction. Thankfully it happened. I haven't bought the new cd yet, but after listening to the sound clips on Amazon i'll be picking it up ASAP. The new Kid Rock is NOT a country cd, but considering that most of his fans are accustomed to him being hip-hop and rap, i'm not surprised one bit at their narrow attitudes. I find A LOT of guys who listen to hip-hop are very limited in their thinking, and many will either say an artist sucks if the artist tries another style of music or just expect that artist to always do the same style and write the same types of songs over and over. People go through phases in their life and people change. There is nothing wrong with the new direction Kid Rock has chosen. He has not gone soft or wimpy just because of that Picture song. This is NOT a country album, guys. It's a blend of southern rock, country, and good ol'straight-ahead-bar-band rock n roll. Nothing wrong with that!!! Anyone who likes ZZ Top, Bob Seger, Alabama or The Allman Brothers, or just good 70s American rock will love this cd. And guess what? SO WHAT if this cd has country sounds to it!! You hip-hop fans treat country music like some kind of disease instead of realizing that many of today's artists that you worship and idolize LOVE country and that they know of its importance to music in general. Look at Elvis. He blended ALL styles of music together and wasn't just into ONE style of music. He did rock, pop, gospel, country, blues, you name it. That's why Elvis was loved by so many and that he was the king of rock. Musicians that are not afraid to branch out or try other genres, even if it's an experiment, are the ones who have a wider appeal. I applaud Kid Rock totally for going in this new direction. I'm glad to see he's not putting out the same tired material and has grown enough to expand his musical horizons to get even more audience appeal. I can't wait to get this cd! All you other reviewers trashing this cd as a zero-star write-off can go back to your Eminem discs. Kid Rock is the man!!!!!
