Rock Is Back. After 22 million records sold in the US and a three year hiatus, Kid Rock is back with the brand new album 'Rock N Roll Jesus'. Kid Rock hustled in the Detroit underground for over ten years before he burst into the mainstream in 1999 with the timeless rock anthem "Bawitdaba." Other hits like "Cowboy" and "American Bad A**" followed while ballads like his "Picture" duet with Sheryl Crow and "Only God Knows Why" helped to propel him forward as one of the greatest artists of our time. His latest offering Rock N Roll Jesus is no exception, running the gamut from hard rock to hip-hop to country and soul. Of the album, which Rock co-produced with Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance), he says: "I am proud of every single song on this record. It works from start to finish."

Kid Rock maintains a remarkable propensity for wearing his contradictions on his sleeve, and more than anything he's previously released, Rock n Roll Jesus finds fuel in unresolved opposites. Is he a hard-core chauvinist ("Half Your Age") or a would-be gentlemen ("When U Love Someone")? Is he a God-fearing everyman ("Blue Jeans and a Rosary") or a bohemian hero ("So Hott")? These questions are nothing new, even if the album at hand takes them to freshly delirious extremes. Ever since he first began shedding his rap/rock posture to be the next Ted Nugent, Kid Rock has constructed his public persona out of full-frontal ambivalence: race, class, sex, religion, money, whatever it takes. This album's bookends--the title song and "bonus" track, "Lowlife (Living the Highlife)"--demonstrate all this irreconcilable nonsense in no uncertain terms, but all his polar wobbling is at least stabilized by a firm commitment to southern-styled rock, tinged at times with gospel, blues, a lingering need to rap ("Sugar"), and a rare, soul-fed instrumental jambalaya ("New Orleans"). In the end, Kid Rock may be a remarkable self-promoter, but a musical Messiah he is not. --Jason Kirk People en Espanol
Pareciera que Kid Rock esta madurando, en Rock and Roll Jesus ha dejado atras al tipico rockero que se conformaba con escandalizar, y se ha atrevido a navegar las aguas de otros generos como el country y el blues en canciones como "New Orleans" y "All Summer Rock," ademas Rock se ha olvidado del hip-hop, hoy denuncia la muerte absurda de soldados en Irak y el racismo. Pero no crea que el musico se ha convertido precisamente en un santo, el disco incluye canciones poderosas como "So Hutt" que es puro rock o "Half Your Age" en la que no es secreto que vuelca todas sus frustraciones por haber perdido a Pamela Anderson. En la cancion el dice que ahora tiene una chica mas joven y mas hot. En suma Rock and Roll Jesus es un material mucho mas maduro, pero si quiere escuchar al Kid Rock escandaloso y despreocupado de antes quiza no sea buena idea comprarlo. Por el contrario si le gusta el hard rock de los anos 70 y el country, este es un album que le gustara. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol  )

 This 50 yr old woman loved it!! August 27, 2008
OK. I'm 50 years old which means the only music I listen to is classic rock and country. I heard "All Summer Long" on a country radio station and my boyfriend told me to buy the CD.
I couldn't believe how much I liked this record. I listened to it over and over and it only got better with each listen.
I really dislike rap, I never "got the message". I thought Kid Rock was a rapper, but he has earned my respect as a songwriter an artist that breaks all boundries.
I liked every song on the record. It's been a long time since I've said that about a CD.
Good job Kid. Keep up the good rock.

Rock 'n Roll White Trash, but in a good way August 26, 2008
This is the best of any Kid Rock cd I've bought. Ok, it's a little bit more on the "religious" side - if you can use the words "religion" and "Kid Rock" in the same sentence and not have a lightning bolt strike you dead. There are about 3 songs that are the reason the "Explicit Lyrics" sticker is on it. Only 1 almost made my ears bleed, but this ain't Helen Reddy. Another plus (or minus depending on how much you like Kid Rock) you can make out almost 100% of the words.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
FABULOUS August 22, 2008
LOVE IT! I PERSONALLY THINK IT'S HIS BEST ALBUM YET
FROM TRACK 1 ROCK -N- ROLL JESUS TO TRACK 12 (BONUS) LOWLIFE EVERY SONG IS FANTASTIC AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH, NO I'M NOT A KID A 40 YEAR OLD ADULT FEMALE, SURPRISING HUH?
HE TAKES HIS LIFE AND PUTS IT IN TO SONGS :)
Fantastic!!! August 20, 2008
This Cd is Fantastic!! Kid Rock has a mixture of slow songs mixed in with his more raunchier style. It is truly a Masterpiece!

Rock N Roll and Kid "Rock" don't belong in the same sentance...it's an insult to ROCK N ROll. Kid Rock is not rock N roll or even rock n relevent. He's on the fast track at proving how irrelevent he is. Rock N roll jesus.....a hip hop/country puke mix is nowhere near rock and that butchered version of a crappy song "sweet home alabama" renamed on this crapfest album as "all Summer Long" is horrid. Kid "Rock" (word used loosly when saying his name) should just go away or change his name to Kid Krapfest or no talent Tom.
Who in the hell would listen to this. Rock N Roll jesus....he doesen't even deserve to use the word "rock" in his name or the title rock n roll. He is insulting rock music, and the rock gods need to punish this posing losera** retard. Kis rock doesen't know what he wants to be and no one cares.
