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

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."

Customer Reviews

Excellent
Surprised by this purchase. I bought it because I liked "All Summer Long " , and the rest of the album is great , I also love "Rollercoaster".

Good Trashy Fun
This is actually my first Kid Rock CD. It is definitely a guilty pleasure. What pushed me to buy it was a TV performance and I suddenly realized that wow, this guy can actually sing.

One gets a sense that Mr. Rock is trying to branch out and become relavent, and some of that is hit and miss. The lyrics to "Amen" are a little cliched and his "soft sensitive" side sounds a little forced. As he explores more "mature" themes, some of the lyrics are left wanting.

Standout tracks for me at least are the title track "Rock and Roll Jesus," as well as "Amen," and "Lowlife." Expletives abound thoughout the album, and are a but overboard at times, expecially on "Sugar" which approaches inane proportions, but the playing is tight and the some of these more profane tracks are intrigueing musically.

Perhaps what best sums up the album is the track "Guilty," in which he talks about how he took his "15 minutes" and made it last ten years, and he's having fun and isn't going to complain about his life. I get tired of whiney rock stars, and with Kid Rock, you can be sure he is having a good time.

This CD is trashy, profane, loud with bizarre excursions into country, and very good.

Lenny Kravitz in an alternate universe.......the guy has talent
Kid Rock seems to have finally focused on what sound he wants to go with for the future. Heavily 70's and SouthernRock influenced, with of course the country mixed in lightly...not much in the way of Rap on here. The guy is talented, if it's not your cup of tea. Basically like a Lenny Kravitz type of release, with variety transitioning smoothly between songs. I'd highly recomend the new Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded Cd for a bit heavier experience, but killer CD as well.All That Remains Reloaded (W/Dvd)
