Kid Rock - Rock N Roll Jesus

Rating: 5

It's questionable whether Kid Rock's musical career ever got off the ground in the UK's eyes. Indeed, his recent award ceremony clash with Tommy Lee suggested a man who's more Hollywood caricature than bona fide rock star. On the plus side, you can't fault Rock's persistence, this being his seventh original studio album. But while America has a firmly established adult rock market that's primed to receive his old-man country and blues, us Brits just feel alienated. The hard rock songs that do grab your attention - 'So Hott' and 'Sugar' - do so for all the wrong reasons, thanks to Rock's vulgar sex references. This album reached No.1 in the US. Don't expect the same here.
