Give the new Kid Rock a shot.


I initially picked up the Kid Rock "Rock and Roll Jesus" and scanned it quickly. Not bad but it was not on my must play list. I gave it a run the other day and I'm here listening to it yet again. What a change in the "Kid". He is sounding Skynard / rock / mountain music / fun. Two of the favorites are #10 "Blue jeans and a rosary" and #11 "Half your age" (the more you hear this one the more you like it). I like all sorts of music from classical to country and this disk is up with my favorites. LMK if anyone has any imput on his "new" sound.

Thank you Pawlowski for expressing my sentiments as well. Im always amazed at the " open minded " brigade and how quickly their minds close when you dont agree with them. Dont like Kid Rock? well than youre boring, dont listen to good music and youre also a FREEK ( it's spelled FREAK by the way Mr. know it all) I own well over 1000 LP's and 900 + cd's, and there is plenty of good music in there, but since it doesnt include some white trash ,no talent dirt bag,all this is invalid. Ive heard KR and I dont like him or his music, but I dont go around disparaging those that do. Guess I need to open my mind up more....
Wow alot of snobs lurk here, I figured if people didnt want to explore it they would ignore the post but some have such pathetic lives they actually take time to slam someone who asked folks to explore music, a sad day!
I have a couple of his Disc's I recieved from step kids for presents, some is pretty good, much is not my cup of tea but I thought it was all about exploring new musc with an open mind and ears with no preconcieved bias until you actually have heard it?
Last week my mom called in a panic because my father who studied Organ for years and played for many more, with his over 10,000 mostly Classical and World music collection was playing AC/DC "Back in Black" which he somehow got from one of his record clubs, I had her put him on the phone and after a good laugh I asked him how he liked it, he said "I dont know but I am going to listen to whole album"............ that made me smile!

I don't think he fits there, although "no talent" may fit?...However, IMO he does have talent.

I read on Google today that he is putting on Christmas concerts for the troops in Germany, Iraq, and Afghanistan right now, (I think he did it last year to?)....doesn't sound like much of a "dirt bag" type to me?

I'm not slamming anyone and I don't think I have a pathetic life. You can listen to anyone you want. I don't even want to try to make an effort to listen to Kid Rock. In fact, there's lots of artists I've never heard before that I don't make an effort to listen to because I don't think I'll like them. What do you care??

And BTW, I like AC/DC too.
