Kid Rock's unique blend of Midwestern rock & roll, rap, and R&B gets another airing with COCKY, which features a plethora of road tunes, who's-the-baddest cuts, and straight-ahead drinking songs. The slow, greasy grooves of "You Never Met a Motherf**cker Quite Like Me" contrast violently with the Detroit Rock City raunch of "I'm a Dog," which itself stands in stark contrast to the first half of "Midnight Train to Memphis," an atypical, steel guitar-accompanied ballad.
You don't come to Kid Rock for subtlety (the last cut, WCSR, featuring Snoop Dogg, is proof of that). He's a Midwestern rapper who wishes he was in Lynyrd Skynrd--and who could probably make a pretty good job of it. The straight-ahead rock tunes swing mightily courtesy of drummer Stefanie Eulinberg, and Rock has his bad-ass rap act down cold here, though how much longer he can keep it up is another question for another time.
Detroit's favorite son returns with the follow-up to the massive 'Devil Without A Cause' with the usual chicken-fried rock & redneck boogie. Guests include Sheryl Crow & Snoop Dogg. Features bonus track 'WCSR' (feat. Snoop Dogg) Altantic Records.
Recorded at Clarkston Chophouse Studios, Detroit, Michigan.
Rolling Stone (1/17/02, p.48) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A massive banging victory....Rock self-conciously builds on his badass-hick-with-a-heart-of-gold image..." Entertainment Weekly (11/23/01, p.82) - "...A similar blend of low-rider hip-hop and strip-mall heavy metal, flavoring its Camaro-ready jams with the occasional turntable wika-wika, Steven Tyler yowl or tasty guitar lick...you have to at least admire the breadth of his vision..." - Rating: B Q (1/02, p.102) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...songs take rock and rop ethics and enthusiastically smash them together..." Mojo (Publisher) (2/02, p.102) - "...An enjoyably bad-ass record..."

good album as a country fan, I bought this album initially for his country hit with Sheryl Crow, "Picture." It is such an awesome song and really shows what a good voice and how talented Kid Rock really is. I had always liked his music even though I don't like rap all that much, and this album is good because it has songs that show off a large variety of styles and influences: rock, rap, country...I'd love to hear more songs from him like "Picture" but this album should confirm Kid Rock's place in music history.

Southern Rock Will Never Die I dont know what people are talkin about when they say "rap". Some of his old songs were rap, but this cd is straight up Southern rock!! It's no Skynyrd, but is one of the best records ive ever heard. I think it's up there with One More From The Road and Green Grass And High Tides. The only thing I don't like is there are no good, long guitar solos or piano solos...but no songs nowadays have that. Thats whats wrong with modern music, but Kid Rock combines old with new brilliantly. Buy this cd now or get your ass off this webpage!!!!
