All I can say is that I loved the Rock part of Kid Rock all these years, and I don't feel like he's doing that anymore. This album belongs in the country category more than any album I've ever listened to in my 30 years on this planet. I will say this right now, I'm not a country fan, but I loved Rock N Roll Jesus, thought it was some of his best material, and have seen him in concert something like 7 times in the Detroit area. This album just doesn't feel like Kid Rock to me. It's a consistantly slow effort. I loved some of his slow tracks from previous albums, but I also loved it when he took it up a notch and kicked the place apart. I will say that this album is consistant, and if consistancy is always what you've been looking for in a KR album, this is where you should look. Just don't look for anything that's going to rock very hard, or give you the energy...

Now, after hearing the album, I can say I'm not overly disappointed, but I feel there was a little too much focus on production rather then making a hit song. Kid Rock stated he wanted to make more songs like "Picture" & "Only God Knows Why" but I honestly don't think anything on this album comes close to being as memorable. I'm not saying the album is bad at all, it's just I think Rick Rubin may have focused on the wrong aspects of the production of this album rather then what really mattered. I first heard Rick Rubin's work back in 1995 when he produced AC/DC's "Ballbreaker" album, and despite what others may have to say about it, I think he did a great job of it. On this album, I'm not sure why Rubin wanted to replace Kid Rock's band "The Twisted Brown Truckers" with other musicians. As someone has...

As Rock himself has said, he is getting older and his music reflects that. He is not screaming and cussing and "saying his name" all the time like he did 10 years ago - he doesn't have to. He has grown as a singer, songwriter and performer. As a longtime fan of him, I really appreciate it. This sounds like it might have come out in the 70s era of Skynyrd and the Eagles and Seger, which is the kind of music I gravitate towards now that I am getting older myself. I thought "Rock and Roll Jesus" was a good album but "Born Free" is even better. As a Michigander, I appreciate all of the free promotion Rock gives to our state, including shooting his beautiful video in the UP.Get this album. You won't regret it. |
