Today, I will be going back to the music side of things and will be sharing my opinions on yet another Rock n Roll album. The word ''rock'' is bound to appear several times in this post, as today's topic is Kid Rock's 7th album, ''Rock n Roll Jesus''.
This album was released on October 9th, 2007 and 172, 000 copies were sold that week. Rock n Roll Jesus features a wide variety of genres including southern rock, country rock, blues rock, and hip hop. Two interesting facts about Rock n Roll Jesus are that it is Kid Rock's last album to feature a ''parental advisory'' sticker on the front of the album, and it is not available on ITunes due to him boycotting the company.
What I really enjoy about this album is that each song sounds quite a bit different than the next, something that you unfortunately can't say about an album every day. However, Kid Rock doing this is no surprise as he plays many different types of music. Up until 2001, most of his songs were hip hop, but now he also plays many different types of rock.
My favourite song from Rock n Roll Jesus is ''All Summer Long'' since I find it very catchy. It is also the most popular song on the album - as a matter of fact - Kid Rock was nominated for "Best Male Vocal Performance'' for the song at the 2009 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California.
I would rate this album 4/5 stars, since the majority of the songs are really good.
That's all for now.
COMMENTS:
1. ''I think that a little variety of music styles on an album is good as well as it does not limit the listener to just one specific genre. I think i might listen to Kid rock now that you've mentioned him his songs seem to be pretty good.'' - Ross
2. ''I heard a few songs from Kid Rock and didn't really like him because his voice is too raspy, but after reading this review, I'll check out more by him, it was a very good review that would make anyone want to listen to this album. GOOD JOB!'' - Jack
