Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, from rap to country, utilizing organ, pedal steel, and harp as well as metallic guitar solos. Ultimately, though, the 14 songs are schizophrenic and not always successful: on 'Lonely Road of Faith,' Kid Rock turns in a anthemic ballad nearly worthy of Lynyrd Skynrd, whose 'Freebird' he samples in the laid-back R&B-flavored 'You Never Met a Motherf**ker Quite Like Me,' while Crow's vocals on the gentle, country tune 'Picture' and the plodding 'Midnight Train to Memphis' contrast with the metallic riffs of 'I'm a Dog,' the nasty 'sex rhymes' of 'WCSR,' and the rapped boasts of the narcissistic title track. Cocky? Indeed. Commendable? Dubious. --Katherine Turman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - wrong listinglisted under southern rock well one song was,i really liked that one but you can keep the rest Rating:  - Not like Devil without a causeThis CD isn't bad, but it really isn't good. I love the first song, Trucker Anthem, and Uncle Kracker started the CD off right, followed by a couple great Kid Rock Verses. After that it is all down hill. Songs 2-4 are good, and I for some reason really like what I learned out on the road, but other than those songs, I don't like any other ones except WSCR with Snoop Dogg. Rating:  - Cocky kid RockBefore I got Rock N Roll Jesus, the only Kid Rock song was "You never met m.f.." and of course "Picture". I hope you're into Country as this CD seems to be Kid Rock's slide into country. I'd say its 9 country out of 14 songs. thats cool for me cuz Rock N Roll Jesus is basically all heavy rock/country. Rating: - Good Follow upThis album has the chick song " Picture". I have seen hundreds of women singing the lyrics. I saw them live & the female drummer handled Sheryl Crow's part with ease. You can see that Kid Rock is trying to mix it up a bit with Rap Rock & A little bit of country. Smart move. Rating:  - Great!This was a gift for my daughter. But, I have my own copy. It is wonderful,maybe his best. I'm a great-grandmother, but I do love Kid Rock. grannysue |
