Editorial Reviews :
Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, from rap to country, utilizing organ, pedal steel, and harp as well as metallic guitar solos. Ultimately, though, the 14 songs are schizophrenic and not always successful: on 'Lonely Road of Faith,' Kid Rock turns in a anthemic ballad nearly worthy of Lynyrd Skynrd, whose 'Freebird' he samples in the laid-back R&B-flavored 'You Never Met a Motherf**ker Quite Like Me,' while Crow's vocals on the gentle, country tune 'Picture' and the plodding 'Midnight Train to Memphis' contrast with the metallic riffs of 'I'm a Dog,' the nasty 'sex rhymes' of 'WCSR,' and the rapped boasts of the narcissistic title track. Cocky? Indeed. Commendable? Dubious.
Buyer Reviews :
I don't care what anyone says, Kid Rock is a bad (...)! I am a big classic rock fan (it's my favorite music in the world), and I also like country and hip-hop music and with the styles of music I enjoy, this is the perfect album for me. The old Kid Rock is present in Trucker Anthem, Forever, and Cocky, but there are a lot of county/blues/southern rock tracks here too that are great. For all the real Kid Rock fans who have seen him live, know that he thrives on classic rock and country music as well as his hardcore edge, (I live in Tennessee and when I saw him Hank Williams Jr. was there to sing Country Boy Can Survive with him, and he also played a lot of old rock tunes like Jumping Jack Flash, and Rocky Mountain Way). No one is going to be entirely happy with this album if they're not open to all types of music, but I am, and Kid Rock has proved to me to be one of the few real musicians and musically talented people on top of the rock world today. Kid Rock isn't a country singer, he's and he's not a rapper. Kid Rock is simply Kid Rock, and no one else around these days can make or preform like KR. I can't wait to hear the whole damn album live!
