    .
    Uncle Kracker Late Night was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (Atlantic Records) Top Dog/Atlantic recording artist Uncle Kracker has another hit on his hands as the Detroit-based singer-songwriter's single, "Smile," has broken into the Top 10 on the Hot AC this week. Uncle Kracker will perform "Smile" on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" Wednesday night.
    The track's companion video is in "Medium" rotation on VH1 and consistently charts on the channel's "VH1 Top 20 Countdown." Uncle Kracker recently guest-hosted the weekly program.

    "Smile" is the lead single off of Uncle Kracker's recently released 4th studio album, Happy Hour. Produced by multiple Grammy award winner Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day, Paramore), Happy Hour sees Uncle Kracker continuing to craft his idiosyncratic blend of country-flavored pop and rock 'n' roll. Uncle Kracker continues his cross-country trek as a special guest to Train see itinerary - here

See, I think they sound similar on earlier CD's with rap...difficult sometimes to tell them apart when they were younger, but Kid's voice to me has matured & deepened more, and is quite a bit more raspy...could be the differences with songs too, dunno...just to me their voices aren't that similar sounding when singing. Kid's voice is much more energetic & powerful to me as well, more emotion felt.

Like I said, I've only listened to it once, but I also prefer more of a rock sound...and Krackers is more Country POP, which my personality & ears aren't usually a fan of. Classic Country I do enjoy listening to, but not so much the new stuff...in fact, most of it I don't like at all.

I'm not a fan of songs like the one you call "My Girlfriend" either...but then I'm not a fan of Chevy Chase and movies like Dumb & Dumber...not my sense of humor. I prefer more natural occuring humor. I laugh on this website all the time at things people say or do...because it's REAL, regardless of sometimes being silly & dumb, it's still happening for real. Hope that makes sense with explaining my sense of humor. It's just 'me', haha. :)

I do like smile but I have to say my favorite song on the album is good to be me. I like the beat of it and it's more mellow. But I too am so use to rocking out to Kid Rock and T.B.T that Uncle Krackers album was a lot different than what I am use too. But it did grow on me after listening to it a few times.

I love every single song on the CD. I love smile cause its for his girls.

My girlfriend is hysterical. Hot Mess Makes me dance. Corner Bar is a song for our times.

another love song excellent. Im not leaving One of my favs of all time.

Outstabding album but I like most all types of music. and its wierd to me that you dont care for kraCkers voice but like bOBS cause I think they sound alot alike. They both have that raspy I smoke to much sexy voice. lol

I need to listen to my Happy Hour CD more than I have. I've only listened to it once, and maybe it need's to grow on me. Suppose I'm so use to Kid & TBT music rocking out...Kracker is a bit laid back by comparison, different genre, and I'm not adjusting. His voice isn't appealing to me like Kid's is either. There were a couple songs on it that sorta clicked, but 'Smile' wasn't one of them. I didn't care much for the song his girlfriend dumped him for a girl either...not cause of the Lesbian suggestion, just seemed like a dumb dorky song to me, but to each their own.

I suppose I'm more of a true rock personality, with a bit of hip/hop, rap, classic oldies, & classic country flavoring now & then, hahaha. Anyway, I'll listen to Kracker's CD again, but thinking his style of music isn't gonna be mine.
