Give the new Kid Rock a shot.

Different music?! Are you kidding me? And what's up with the "if it's well recorded and sounds good on my system" viewpoint. I'm sure Michael Bolton is "well recorded"...that doesn't mean I want to listen to it. The only people who like this stuff and thinks that it's different probably have the lamest music selections in their collection. The argument here would be akin to me insisting that a hardcore metalhead would just LOVE the new Celine Dion. Hey...didn't she do an AC/CD song?

Thanks for the heads up, Harris. I have been curious about this album. I saw Kid Rock sing a duet with Willie Nelson on TV once and have been hoping he would come out with some kind of country sound.

Don't worry about the negative people here. I've been to a few audio club meetings and well, let's just say most of these guys aren't really very socially adjusted. Besides, how interesting is it to talk to people that only listen to music from female singers doing the same old standards, or dead composers from centuries ago?

I much rather hear from somebody that is stretching their mind and always trying out something new. Most of these guys have lives that mirror their music taste, boring.

I'll check it out, thanks Harris. I only have one Kid Rock cd, it's kind of a rappy/rock type album, that I can't recall the name of right now...it does kick butt though, for that type of music.

This guy (Kid Rock) has so much talent, that I think he could excel at just about any type of music he wanted to do.

Fatparrot asked: "Didn't Tommy Lee give Kid Rock a shot in Vegas :-)"

No...Kid Rock gave Tommy the shot (saw it on TV).

agaffer you are correct kid rock loves to explore different kinds of music. he will play any style and with any one. i think that is what music is about. expanding what you listen to no matter what the music is buy something new and try it. if you dont like then you can have an opinon about it.

Barber, krall, etc. yeah, I've got a ton of that, Black and Shaded dogs, ECms, $30k in my turntable.

I saw KR on the Larry/Santa roast (sweet Jesus, believe me, I was just passing through!!) Not since Bowie at the Music awards 8 years ago with "I'm afraid of Americans" have I just gone slack-jawed and immediately left the house to go buy the music.

Awesome. It makes my wife grit her teeth (of course, she's too good to actually LISTEN to it) and I have to keep the grandkids away from the language, but I love it and it's not recorded too badly, given current standards, (or lack thereof).

Let's be clear, I have no other KR and may not buy more, but this is great RR: sort of Run DMC/skynard/Guns and Roses, Arrowsmith (when they were way too stoned) and Ike and Tina (when they both had balls). Best commercial rock I've heard in over 10 years.
