It's the New Millennium baby, and Kid Rock is up to some shenanigans. He's trying different things, he's smoking funny things. He's crooning with Sheryl Crow and Hank Williams, Jr. He's dating Pam Anderson and beating up Waffle House patrons. But most of all he's doing what he does best: acting like a big asshole while stealing other people's music!
Welcome to the wild world of Kid Rock's "country" phase. We dive deep into this bizarre and musically eclectic period that sees Bob Ritchie desperately rework his style and image in order to appeal to Redneck America. But will it work?? Listen up and find out!
DID YOU KNOW??
--The movie "Borat" caused some major friction in Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson's (brief) marriage
--The track that became "All Summer Long" was originally intended as a throwaway CD single for the Gathering of the Juggalos
--Cal seems pretty confident he can beat up Kid Rock IRL
