 (25 Customer Reviews)
Once the straight country-rock of his single "Cocky" struck a chord with the public, Kid Rock seemed more interested in filling the shoes of Southern rock pioneers Lynyrd Skynyrd than upholding his throne as hip-hop's white trash punk. His 2007 album ROCK N ROLL JESUS completes that transition. A big album that bowls straight up the middle, ROCK N ROLL JESUS is Kid's homage to the grits and gravy of classic rock, a 21st-century update of FM radio fare from the 1970s.
Gone for most part is his hip-hop posturing and in-your-face putdowns; in their place are invocations of Skynyrd, Bob Seger, Steve Miller, and the like. "All Summer Long," a bouncy, sunny tune that bears a striking resemblance to "Sweet Home Alabama," is a case in point; while "Roll On" has the smooth-rolling feel of the Eagles' early work. Rock cuts loose, to be sure, as on the head-banging "So Hott," but even these tracks are injected with a retro feel, summoning classic AC/DC more than anything from the '00's. Longtime Rock fans might miss the bad attitude, but fans of classic '70s rock should feel right at home.

| | Kid Rock Cocky CD (2001)
Rock N Roll Jesus
$10.75 
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 ...
| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Rock N Roll Jesus
$6.79
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."

| | Kid Rock CD (2003)
Rock N Roll Jesus
$10.45
Kid Rock's self-titled fourth major-label outing finds him proudly reaffirming his blue-collar roots and love of classic rock and outlaw country music by inviting a bunch of famous friends to join him and his Twisted Brown Trucker Band in kicking out the Detroit-style jams. Any rap nuances are subtle, with turntable scratches sprinkled over the mid-tempo rocker "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train," a hip-hop cadence pacing "Hillbilly Stomp" (featuring Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top), and the kind of fanfare-laced "Intro" that you'd expect from someone who put out an album entitled COCKY.
Wielding an impressive array of stringed instruments, this Michigan native moves easily from ...
