"Country and blues is the biggest shit ever," Kid Rock says, "and it always will be. I'm talking about the Stones, Skynyrd, Zeppelin, the biggest bands that ever were had a country and blues influence, that's where it all stems from. Kids might hear my record and not even know what they're listening to. I didn't when I was young, but it became apparent when I became older. This common thread through music was the blues. And country's just the White Man's Blues."
bob ritchie (kid rock) may just be a 'neck from detroit, but he's got a heck of a musical background. he's no overnight player either, he's been making music for about 13 years now. he's just become a commercial success in the past 3 or so years after changing his sound a bit and releasing devil without a cause.
he cites many artists as his influences and jams with about as wide a range of artists as you can imagine, from hank jr. to snoop dogg. he's definately leading music in a different direction -- which is a good thing. it's a big pile of goo these days. at least someone is pushing that pile somewhere it hasn't been.
he's a freak, too. he puts porn stars in his albums, videos and concerts. he actually could have probably been a comercial success earlier in his career had he not been so filthy -- constantly singing about blow jobs and going down on women.
