Kid Rock releasing first album in 4 years
30 Jul 2007, 0045 hrs IST,REUTERS
After four long years Kid Rock finally releases his new album which has metallic bangers to softer ones like When You Love Someone.
There’s quite a bit more rock than rap on Kid Rock’s first studio album in four years, tentatively titled Rock ’n’ Roll Jesus , which will arrive on October 9.
Recorded at his Michigan home, it cuts a broad stylistic swath, from metallic headbangers like first single So Hot and Sugar (the set’s only rap track) to such rootsy, gospel-hued fare as Amen and When You Love Someone .
The Motown-influenced Roll On rolls alongside the power ballad Miss Understood and the Crescent City-flavored New Orleans (co-written with pal David Allen Coe), while All Summer Long entertainingly mashes up elements of Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama – with the latter group’s Billy Powell on the piano.
The album ends with Half Your Age , a sly country kissoff to ex-wife Pamela Anderson, with a line about finding a younger girlfriend who’s “twice as hot.”
Overall, Rock -- who’s dedicating the album to his late friend, Atlantic co-founder Ahmet Ertegun – said he hoped the effect was “like going to the church drunk on a Saturday night.”
Rock is planning a promotional tour, including radio events and theater and club dates to promote the album, with a full-scale tour planned for 2008.
His last album, a self-titled effort, debuted at No. 8 on the charts in November, 2003.

Starbuck has more talent in the tip of his light saber than Kid Rock has in his entire body.
