The History of Rock arrives as the sort of superstardom-celebrating release that can buy a hot-selling artist time. (Think, say, G N' R Lies.) After 8 million (and counting) sales of 1998's Devil Without a Cause, the trailer-rockin' rapper is out to remind the world that it hardly started there. Mostly drawn, and often retooled, from his out-of-print Polyfuze Method and Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp, these tracks display a "funky country hick" already on point with his knowing, hardheaded combo of old-school beats and classic-rock guitars. An "American Bad Ass" for sure, but also an artist who could come only from America, Kid Rock brings the noise--not to mention the bread and the circus. --Rickey Wright

Detroit Lean:
Kid Rock does it again with this CD, and by doing it again I mean creating another hit record. The History of Rock is an awesome collaboration of Rock's old rhymes and riffs. American Bad Ass is a great track, as well as 3 sheets to the wind and dark & grey. If you buy this album, you'll not be let down, Rock is the man!

Who's up for some cartoons?:
Anyone writing a review of Kid Rock should understand his art at a basic level. To compare him to most other artists is to completely miss the point of his music. It's like comparing Evil Dead to Night of the Living Dead, or worse, Gone with the Wind. To start with, you must accept the Kid on his own terms. Try to understand first of all, that he's trying to create a cartoonish world, playing off of the cliches of hypermasculinity, the windblown life on the road, and the joys of drugs and loose women.... more info
