KID ROCK-Rock N Roll Jesus

KID ROCK-Rock N Roll Jesus
Atlantic
Holy shit...
On his ninth album, Kid Rock would have us believe he's grown a social conscience -
'natural disasters and wolf-insheep's-clothes pastors,' he bleats on the country-tinged Amen, 'now I'm scared to send my kids to church' - but the Michigan yokel-rocker can't hide his deeper concerns for long. 'Who's gonna give me some sugar tonight?'he enquires on Sugar, before reminding us that he 'fucks hot pussy until it's cold' and panting for a full minute of So Hot like Robert Plant in Whole Lotto Love. It's a shame the lyrics are so crass, because Kid actually ploughs an interesting musical furrow between Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin, and could be so much more than a smutty redneck. Time to grow up...
