Sweet Southern Sugar is an album dedicated to that fact, made by a man who doesn't give a *** about the haters and just wants to rock the house and make music for himself. And this is his best album in a long time.

Despite a couple of weak tracks, the album overall is very good work indeed and warrants a listen.

ROUGHSTOCK
Sweet Southern Sugar is a record for Kid Rock’s fans and it’s a record that’s made without much consideration for mainstream success but Kid Rock knows his core audience an audience who has allowed him to become a superstar and someone who can take chances here or there and manages to do just that.

The 10 strong tracks have Kid Rock’s signature stew of Southern rock, rap and country, layered with expletive-laden lyrics that evoke Old Glory patriotism, Don’t-Step-on-Me cockiness and a celebration of redneck culture.

ALL MUSIC
Living in the past is the key not just to Sweet Southern Sugar but Kid Rock's reinvention as a country singer. The music hasn't changed much, nor has his swagger, but the times have, leaving Kid Rock sounding older and squarer than his years.

It may just be that Rock is attempting to have his hoecake and eat it too. There's a lot more rock and rap than country. And heartland rock. And Motown covers.

It’s kind of all over the place and really hasn’t figured out what kind of album it should be. I mean did he just get confused and say I want to make a metal album, no I mean country, no wait I mean rap.

"Sweet Southern Sugar" has become an average good, positive rock album for people with the sun shining from behind. That is his greatest strength as well as his greatest weakness.

This is music that anyone can relate to! Kid Rock’s signature blend of Southern rock, rap and country, layered with vocal harmonies and punchy guitars, evoke old Glory and redneck patriotism. Or something like that.

Yes, Kid Rock can go deep, too. It turns out that Congress’ loss might actually be our gain.
