Music : Rock 'n' Roll Jesus: Parental Advisoryby: Kid Rock
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 gentleman ("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 stabilised 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Southern Rock'n'SoulGot this record after loving 'All Summer Long' and I was not disappointed. This record follows on from 2003's fantastic self titled album and serves up some great Southern rock and soul music which has more in common with someone like The Black Crowes than his earlier rap metal output. There still some rap metal machismo on the likes of 'So Hott' and 'Sugar', but the rest of it is soulful and uplifting. Great summer music from an artist who is shockingly underrated in the UK. ...

Well I am impressed. There are some great riffs on this album and a real mixture of rock/country styles. In some ways it is a mature sound and the country feel is not disimilar to a theme in Bon Jovi's, Lost Highway album. It kicks off with a real foot tapper in Rock and Roll Jesus, and Amen is thought provoking to say the least. I am not overly ... Read More Rating:  - Soul Music for the SoullessKid Rock seems to belong to the growing number of 'artists' who have taken at least some of their inspiration from the blues and soul stars of the sixties, seventies, and earlier decades, only to miss the point. Is there some intended irony in the choice of title? Modern rhythm and blues grew out of the churches and church choirs of the South. Kid Rock seems to have as much moral or physical depth, as much connection with the blues, as a plate of cold chips. This album is a mixture of misogyny, ... Read More Rating: - In the wrong category but not sure which one would suitPlease, you have got to be kidding about buying this. A new form of shock-rock where the 'artist' in this case can be accused of unwarranted butchery particularly to the original 'werewolves of london' and 'sweet home alabama' that died and have had their very souls crushed in the head-on collision that is 'all summer long'. If you love rock don't buy it. If this is up your street I won't ever want your music collection. Rating:  - Return to form!I was a kind of fan of Kid Rock from Cowboy and Bawitdaba, sucked in by American Badass, and a convert by Cocky. Thought his last album was a touch weaker, but more grown up. Rock N Roll Jesus however is outstanding. I have to say, I think So Hott is one of the weaker efforts despite being the most like the American Badass era. Standout tracks, and evidence of his musical maturation, are All Summer Long, Rock 'n' Roll Jesus and Lowlife. Not a bad track on there! Buy it, hear it, love it!
