Kid Rock Planning New Album By Next Year

Posted by Busy
July 7, 2011

Last weekend, Kid Rock kicked off the summer leg of his Born Free tour with a hits-filled set that included several duets with opener Sheryl Crow and a production that included giant American flags, four strippers and plenty of pyro. "I don't think myself or my band has ever sounded or played better," Rock told Rolling Stone recently. "I'm 40. I'm not going to be at the top of my game forever, but I am right now."

    I think we'll just have to agree to disagree, because I think you'll always be at the top of your game ... and the game will just keep getting better . . . don't sell yourself short .... sort of like wine, ya know, you're going to just keep getting better ~All the Best ~J

    Just to stay on the same page with the conversation.....you, the band, and show blew us all away at the ACF this year, by far KID the best performance I have ever seen....YOU or anyone one do...( I uploaded pics on my profile) you know the saying like wine, it just gets better with time. 40 aint s#&t. Im pushin 50 soon and I'm at the top of my game. I think it just makes you appreciate everything more and makes you more aware of everything around you; people, places,...your heart is shining through KID, and as long as you follow that, whatever you do, people are going to feel and be drawn to. Hope to see you at a couple more small venue dates at home in the D before Christmas but I'm thinking your son may be home from college and you would be spending that time with him. Either way keep it coming, your on the right track, don't look back and lose ground. Have a Merry Christmas to You, Family, and Band.

    Bobby - can you PLEASE do an updated version of Rock n' Roll Heaven by the Righteous Brothers? We need a new one with a tribute to Johnny & Waylon most importantly. Plus Gerry Rafferty, Carl Perkins, Tammy Wynette, Ray Charles, Patsy Cline, Kurt Cobain, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Red Sovine, Jerry Garcia, John Bonham and of course John Lennon & George Harrison. I know I am all over the board with these artists but you can work that out and make it happen!!! Rick Ruben will HOOK THIS UP! Love Ya Kid!

    Kid you have a rare gift. It is a gift to be able to stand on a stage and be a successful country singer, or a successful rock singer, or a successful rapper, but you have been gifted by the man upstairs to be able to stand on stage and play any genre of music and make it work. You can go from country, to rap, to rock, to blues, to country again, and so on. And the whole time it just works. Not just anybody can do that with the success that you can. You have already blessed this earth with some of the greatest musical hits that will live for, and I am excited to see what you bring next. I have yet to make it to one of your concerts, but believe me when I tell you that one day my ass will be there. Keep pumpin out those hits brother.

    ALL MUSIC, ALL THE TIME!!

    I think you are an absolute doll.. I wish everyone could see your heart. as you say, if you cant they must be blind!!!!!! I seen you at Verizon, in Indy, and going to the Egyptian Ballroom in November. Cant wait to see it in a more intimate setting. 2000 people wow. and general admission. That was kinda strange.. I have been a single mom, and so many of your songs fit my situation. Only God knows why is so awesome. You being a single dad, Im sure your son is so proud of you. My son is a huge fan of yours too. Hes 21, and went with me to verizon and is going to the one in November. Thank you for doing so much for cities and people that are less fortunate. you could do anything with your money, and fame, but you choose to help...God will bless you for that. Love you and your music!! all of it.

    Born Free is my favorite album of all time. Honestly. I love every song on it. The lyrics are awesome. I love the line in the song that goes ..."like watching dead flowers grow." Hilarious.

    Can't wait for a new album. Better yet, can't wait for another concert.

    40 don't get caught up in that. Superior talent starts at 40. And you have superior talent and the heart of gold. With those qaulities it is all up hill from here. Just glad to be along for the great ride.
    See you again on the Cruise in April. 3rd tour on the Chillin the Most! The best performer that I have ever seen.

    You were on top of your game in Toronto on May 27th, if you sounded better than that night, I find it hard to believe (but the crowd was lucky as hell), that was the best night of my life and an amazing concert from start to finish. "F@#$'n 40" live was great too, btw. Can't wait to buy the new album on its release date.

    (20110822T051609Z )

    Yuppeeee! A great new album! Well that's what Im talking about...
    I expect all the best from you, Rock!

    Hey Rock, I got a couple of fun tunes in mind that I'd love to hear you spin a mean re-mix on....how 'bout "Black Sheep of the Family" (John Anderson) and "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On" (Conway Twitty)...I just know you could rock those tunes out and I'd love to see you perform them live too, lol...a girl can dream right...Keep on evolving, I know whatever you put out next will be awesome!! ;)

    Born free was good but i think R n R Jesus is the best. Well theyre all amazing but i would definitely like to see you bring back some of the olderstuff. Not just back to devil, but even back to polyfuze. I wasn't born till. 3 years after that LP but i still love it. Oh and TBT! !!

  • jade says
    (20110719T001820Z )

    oh dear God... Rubin watered down your artistic inspiration. please don't let that happen again. I don't care if its funny, serious or nasty, just get back to your complicated, layered, thoughtful roots. think for yourself.

    (20110717T160620Z )

    BOB, Born Free was Great, You made us cry and feel patriotic..... But its 100 times better played by TBT... Use Rubin if ya wanna but please please, give us some NASTY, FUN songs... Its the Kid Rock TBT sound that we love. You dont get that by listening to a buncha strangers in a studio.

    Truth be told, we would buy your album If you sang Happy Birthday and Old Mc Donald, but we miss the wild, funny, crazy, nasty Kid Rock.
