@Crucial his Live at the Great American Music Hall album is a goody.
Lost all his toys and a lifetimes memorabilia to California wild fire a few years back. I visited his vineyard in 2008.
Living the dream. Acclaimed musician, no real money issues, semi-retire to produce Syrah

@broughie Yeah, he’s a very understated guitarist. On this track I like the combination of his guitar and the pedal steel which never quite descends into C&W. The hammond sounds almost Roy Phillips 60s swing which I can usually take or leave, but here it works.

Been listening to the Rock 2000 countdown this past month. Staggered to hear my fave 3 rock bands in the top 3 songs overall, Metallica Foo Fighters and Lynyrd Skynyrd. But the song I thought would top it finished around 30. Freebird. They were awesome in Taupo and I love so many of their songs but never thought that Simple Man was one of the very best. New number one of all time... Go figure.
At last I feel justified singing and bopping to these 3 bands when I hear them in public... -

Especially All Summer Long.

I think there is/was a specific thread for that.
And it reminded me of a whole heap of "uncool" music which I secretly enjoyed, and wanted to add to a "dangerous-mood-setting-motorbike-riding-playlist" - which definitely included at least one Kid Rock song. -

Wrong thread.

I get a bit stuffed on a thread like this because probably a lot of music I like could be uncool. I pretty keen on blues music and going back to stuff from 1920s etc, but I also get into some folk type music, and have a tendency to get hooked on wirters, especially thase who write a bit different stuff in lyrics etc, like Dylan, John Prine, Chis Smithers etc. Also will get into a bit of Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. So should have plenty of uncool stuff, my Mrs moans at some of it enough!

It’s a clever mash up of two crap songs to create the ultimate crap song.

i particularly like the really clever line where he manages to rhyme "things" with "things"
inspired songwriting

Kid Rock is an interesting case study in just how fake the music industry is
Made a name for himself pretending to be a redneck trailer trash boy from the south despite being from a decent background in Michigan.
Tried to back up from that around the "Picture" and "All Summer Long" period (i distinctly remember an interview where he didn't understand why people always thought he wanted a fight, despite not a few years ago basing his whole persona around basically exactly that)
And now he appears to be back to his southern white trailer park ways selling records to the "freedumbs" crowd.
