Summary: Rockin' With The Kid
Comment: If you only buy it for "All Summer Long" it will be worth it. There are a couple of other songs with really raunchy lyrics, but then Kid Rock surprises with some terrific songs and arrangements. If I hadn't seen him on Jay Leno I never would have known about this CD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: a great CD for anyone's collection
Comment: This is a great CD. I bought it only for the song "all summer long", but it is such a great CD I am going to see Kid Rock in concert. Just be careful it is not for children.
Customer Rating:
Summary: awsome cd

Customer Rating:
Summary: Do you like Trash?
Comment: If there was ever any doubt about what a worthless, wannabe punk Kid Rock really is, this album removes it.
Sampling is one thing. Grossly ripping off an entire Intro from the great Warren Zevon, and bolting it on as the Intro to your own song is horrifying. Mr. Rock should not even be in the same sentence as Warren.
This album is a product of a dying industry run by 'record execs' who now rather than promoting thought provoking artists and their music put out trashy slop like this and pander to the lowest elements of the population. It is especially appalling when you think about the thousands of highly promising bands and musicians who will have to go back to working at Starbucks and restaurants while KR gets commercial airplay.
Mr. Rock has a hat and an unattractive goatee and that's about it. Now that he's had a dalliance with Pamela Anderson, and acquired a few bucks, I presume his motivation is running low so he's stealing from artists who actually had some talent.
If you think these are harsh words, consider this: NO ONE will be 'sampling' anything from a KR album 25 years from now.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: 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".

Editorial Reviews:

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
