Salvation Kid Rock Style

Music News |

David Letterman says in his show that it was controversial. With this kind of album title, nobody’s surprise.

Controversy gets attention and so I sampled the music. Well, it is. “Rock and Roll Jesus” contains lyrics that is likely to ignite religious sentiments.

But hey, upon second look and on listening on the songs, I could say that Kid Rock may be preaching the right things rather than the malicious implications. Look deeper and hear more closely. Kid Rock is not blaspheming sacred faith. If he did, I wouldn’t listen at all.

“Amen” is definitely clean and believes in someone “Above”. “All Summer Long” has some good straight-forward message.

And the music, the music is just awesome. American rock is revived, finally. Kid Rock is preaching that.

In “Rock and Roll Jesus”, there’s one dangerous line there, like “sex, drugs and alcohol”, but that’s only one line. The rest could be saying the right things.

Kid Rock is transforming himself. He needs time. With patience, he might just do the right things and sing about it.

And again, the music is just awesome. No wonder it stays on the top of the Billboard Album Charts for several weeks now.

Rating: 8 out of 10.
