Music reviews of Rock n Roll JesusMusic Review: Great Sound Rating: 5 StarsI am an older person - 68 to be exact and I found the Kid Rock CD a trip back into the 60's & 70's. The lyrics are a bit more rough but I really enjoyed this CD and am happy to find a rocker who is a rebirth of MY time!
Description of Rock n Roll JesusRock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem "Bawitdaba." Other hits like "Cowboy" and "American Bad A**" followed while ballads like his "Picture" duet with Sheryl Crow and "Only God Knows Why" helped to propel him forward as one of the greatest artists of our time. His latest offering Rock N Roll Jesus is no exception, running the gamut from hard rock to hip-hop to country and soul. Of the album, which Rock co-produced with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance), he says: "I am proud of every single song on this record. It works from start to finish."

Is he a hard-core chauvinist ("Half Your Age") or a would-be gentlemen ("When U Love Someone")? Is he a God-fearing everyman ("Blue Jeans and a Rosary") or a bohemian hero ("So Hott")? These questions are nothing new, even if the album at hand takes them to freshly delirious extremes. Ever since he first began shedding his rap/rock posture to be the next Ted Nugent, Kid Rock has constructed his public persona out of full-frontal ambivalence: race, class, sex, religion, money, whatever it takes. This album's bookends--the title song and "bonus" track, "Lowlife (Living the Highlife)"--demonstrate all this irreconcilable nonsense in no uncertain terms, but all his polar wobbling is at least stabilized by a firm commitment to southern-styled rock, tinged at times with gospel, blues, a lingering need to rap ("Sugar"), and a rare, soul-fed instrumental jambalaya ("New Orleans"). In the end, Kid Rock may be a remarkable self-promoter, but a musical Messiah he is not. --Jason Kirk People en Espa?ol Pareciera que Kid Rock est? madurando, en Rock and Roll Jesus ha dejado atr?s al t?pico rockero que se conformaba con escandalizar, y se ha atrevido a navegar las aguas de otros g?neros como el country y el blues en canciones como "New Orleans" y "All Summer Rock," adem?s Rock se ha olvidado del hip-hop, hoy denuncia la muerte absurda de soldados en Irak y el racismo. Pero no crea que el m?sico se ha convertido precisamente en un santo, el disco incluye canciones poderosas como "So Hutt" que es puro rock o "Half Your Age" en la que no es secreto que vuelca todas sus frustraciones por haber perdido a Pamela Anderson. En la canci?n ?l dice que ahora tiene una chica m?s joven y m?s hot. En suma Rock and Roll Jesus es un material mucho m?s maduro, pero si quiere escuchar al Kid Rock escandaloso y despreocupado de antes quiz? no sea buena idea comprarlo. Por el contrario si le gusta el hard rock de los a?os 70 y el country, este es un ?lbum que le gustar?. --Ernesto S?nchez (People en Espa?ol )
