Kid Rock [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
Is Kid Rock about to drop the first half of his stage moniker? Some alarmingly mature cuts on his sixth album, addressing the woes of single parenthood ("Single Dad") and painful separations ("Cold and Empty," a cover of Bob Seger's "Hard Night For Sarah"), might suggest so. But that's only part of the story. As Rock reiterates on "Son of Detroit," a butt-kicking revamp of David Allan Coe's "Son of the South," "I like country, soul, rock and roll, and I love me some hip-hop." Yet compared to his previous work, that last flavor takes a back seat to the other three: Hank Williams, Jr. drops by for the swaggering "Cadillac Pussy," Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" gets a gritty nu-metal update, and ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd receive shout outs. Have no fear, fans--even as he reconciles having a child with acting like one, the Kid still lives to rock. --Kurt B. Reighley

It's no coincidence that Michael Bublé's new album starts with just his voice and some fingersnaps on "The Best Is Yet to Come," a song made famous by Frank Sinatra. The Canadian smoothie looks longingly towards early-'60s Vegas, an impression quickly reinforced when a boisterous horn section makes its grand entrance, about 20 seconds into the track. That Bublé means business is confirmed by the second cut, a fast-paced take on Henry Mancini's "It Had Better Be Tonight," and of course by the CD's very title, another song identified with Sinatra as his cockiest. There are just a few sidesteps from the retro formula that's served Bublé so well so far: a languid duet with Brazilian star Ivan Lins on the bossa "Wonderful Tonight," a gospel choir on "That's Life." Interestingly, Bublé co-wrote the best of those sidesteps, "Everything," a Norah Jones-esque number that alluringly harks back to sunny '70s pop. It's also the only song on the album produced by Bob Rock (best known for his work with Metallica), sending out a strong signal that Bublé should reach out to unlikely collaborators more often. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Melding the contemporary and the classic in ways only he can, Michael Buble has created his most complete studio effort yet. Ranging from "I've Got The World On a String" to "Me and Mrs. Jones," in addition to two new songs co-written by Michael, Call Me Irresponsible makes this album irresistible.

Customer Reviews:

Buble is still on a roll.......2007-07-23

Michael Buble still fills the musical niche left by Sinatra's passing. The big band is top-notch and Michael, despite his youth, swings big time on these solid standards. Another good addition to your Buble collection.

Awesome.......2007-07-23

Michael Buble is awesome and so is his latest CD. It is defintly one of his best. Such a variety of songs on it and he sings each one fantasically. I 100% recommend buying this CD.

Spotty.......2007-07-21

This is my first Michael Buble CD. I find that I really like his coverage of jazz standards, but mostly his forays into other genres like "You Look Beautiful Tonight" leave me flat. Gorgeous voice, though!

Buble Swinging and Singing Softly - A VERY Good Effort.......2007-07-19

The follow-up to Buble's last effort, the terrific CD/DVD, which featured his wonderful self-penned song, "Home," may not have some of the energy and verve of that set (and that incredible concert), but this is STILL a fine collection of songs, with several standouts: "Everything," another of Buble's own compositions is upbeat, fun, and swinging (even if some of the lyrics are a bit weak); "I've Got the World on a String," which features members of the band calling out his name, is another winner, and beautifully arranged; "Wonderful Tonight," works perfectly as a Latin tinged duet, which will remind some of Sinatra's work with Antonio Carlos Jobim; and "Dream," which concludes the CD, might be something you'll hear on a late night jazz station and LOVE. The CD is somewhat uneven - I'm not sure we need another version of "Always on My Mind," but it's still well done. "Lost," another Buble composition, doesn't really build well as a song, and "That's Life" doesn't work nearly as well as the great Sinatra original. BUT - there's no doubt this man is a talented singer, who can clearly sing in a variety of styles (if you've seen him in concert, imitating Michael Jackson and others, you'll know he's capable of continued excellence in his singing, phrasing, and song selection). I'd love to hear him do a version of "Alfie," for instance, to sing more of his own upbeat compositions, and collaborate more with some great female singers, but THIS work, though not a completely satisfying CD, is still VERY good and worth purchasing. Many of the songs catch up to you, as Buble, singing without apparent enhancement, allows his voice to be a little rawer than in his debut album. He sounds real and true - and his band, as always, is beyond first rate. They are completely in synch, as they are in their concerts. I think, to quote one of the songs on this fine CD, "The Best is Yet To Come," holds true for this great entertainer. He seems sure to produce some kind of concept album, along the lines of "In the Wee Small Hours," ala Sinatra - and I think he can pick better material in some places. But his voice, his band, some of the fine songs, especially his own hit tune, "Everything," make this a MUST for fans. Bubleland is STILL a fine place to be! And the man is building a terrific body of work.

Useful Tools For Children of All Ages and Home Schoolers.......2007-03-14

This School House edition is used by my grand-children ages 6 and 4 and is very upbeat. Best of School House Rock captures the childrens imagination and remains as a vivid learning tool. My daughter learned many of the basics as a young person when the Videos of School House were available when she was younger.

Nice Collection, But Could Have Had Room For At Least One More Great Tune.......2007-03-13

This is a good collection of those catchy favorites, as I remember enjoying them as a wee lad, but there's certainly room for Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here. Small gripe, but collections invariably leave out someone's personal favorite I suppose, and I always dug that one. Glad though that these educational (and musically well-crafted ditties) are on remastered CDs at last.

Best of Schoolhouse Rock.......2007-02-09

My daughter needed to learn the Preamble for school and was having problems learning it because it happens to be quite lengthy. I remembered hearing it when I was a little girl on tv and singing along with it which made it much easier to learn. She got extra credit for being the first to learn it in her class and we let the teacher know that the cd was available if they needed it for other children in the class.

No more moaning and groaning about learning "boring stuff.".......2007-01-19

I used this for my 13yr old step-daughter, 12ry old, & 9yr old while studying the constitution. Not only have they memorized the preamble, they can't stop singing it. I find myself humming all the songs. Even my two year old is singing the songs. All the kids can effectively summerize the birth of this country, the functions of the constitution, a Bill and more. My 9yr old was having a hard time remembering her multiplication facts, but after listening to the songs; "Three is a Magic Number, My Hero Zero, Figure Eight..." just a couple of times it just clicked and she's flying through division now. My 13yr old is stuggling with language arts, but since listening to the songs; Unpack Your Adjectives, (my favorite) Conjunction Junction, & Interjections things clicked for her. Language Arts is no longer an overwhelming subject. All my kids found The Best of Schoolhouse Rocks to be a treat. They ask me to put it on while they're working, promising they'll work quietly and diligently. This is a win-win situation. They love it, I love it, even the 2yr old loves it. I also bought the DVD and even my "too cool" 13yr old watches it. This is not just for little kids. My 13, 12, & 9yr olds loaded it on their Ipod's!

Amazon.com's Best of 2000

How is it that Kid A's opening track, laden with an electronic vocal stuttering "bleh, bluh-bleh bleh bluh" is the most fascinating statement made in rock & roll this year? Because somehow, even when Radiohead blathers and blips nonsense, it's profound. The band's future-perfect musical grammar may be hard to decipher, and the melody is even more subliminal, but the journey traveled with Radiohead reveals them to be not only rock music's greatest adventurers in 2000, but teachers as well. --Beth Massa

Amazon.com

With every record, Radiohead jump off higher and higher cliffs, daring fans to take the plunge in their artistic feats of derring-do. The journey from that scratchy bit of raw guitar angst in "Creep" (from 1993's Pablo Honey) to any song on Kid A amounts to a high-wire act that few, if any, bands in popular music have ever attempted. It's hard to believe both records come from the same planet, much less the same band. Likewise, the grandiose, Pink Floyd-esque thematic scope of 1997's extraordinary OK Computer is nowhere to be found here. Quiet, contemplative, and less confrontational, it opens with a lack of bombast, as "Everything in Its Right Place" builds tension with ghostly voiceovers, a dry pulse, and a shadowy organ motif. That tension appears over and over on Kid A. On "How to Disappear Completely," the unsettled, atonal keyboard waxing in the background offsets the plaintive Thom Yorke vocal, and on "Idioteque," detached, inorganic rhythms make the melody's despondent aimlessness that much more nerve-racking. Throughout, Radiohead fearlessly explore dissonance and structure, melding twisted, Brian Eno-meets-Aphex Twin sonic landscapes with utter discontent in the world around them. They may sometimes overreach, letting artsy ambition prevent them from giving us the arena rock-god goodies. But their commitment to restless creativity also yields pleasures that don't fade but instead become more resonant upon repeated listenings. If OK Computer was rock's most relevant expression of millennial angst, Kid A is the opposite; it's the 21st century's first record that sounds like the future, barely caring what that Y2K fuss was all about and much more worried about what the hell we're all supposed to do now. --Matthew Cooke

(4.5 stars) Everything in its right place.......2007-06-29

When handed stardom, most bands will take it and abuse it; some others choose to turn it down flat. Radiohead went with the latter, releasing a moody techno album that put a lot of people off. Yes, the critics loved it, and it won a Grammy. That didn't stop it from being quite controversial, though. Me, I quite like it. I can't see why the shift to lush, deeply textured techno was such a big surprise - songs like "Subterranean Homesick Alien" certainly predicted the shift. This is, if anything, more bleak and unforgiving than OK Computer, since there's no traditional sarcastic rocker like "Electioneering" to lighten the mood. Other than the soothing "Treefingers" and "Morning Bell", this is not happy stuff - quiet, eerie, minor key, with Tom Yorke doing more weird things with his voice than usual. And the album results in several songs that will probably be fondly remembered ten or fifteen years down the road: the disorienting "Everything in its Right Place"; the slightly funky title track; "The National Anthem", with a cool horn part; "How to Disappear Completely", unnerving and eerie (in a good way, though - it's my favorite song of the batch); the ironically dark "Optimistic", the multipart "Morning Bell", with screechy sounds reminiscent of the Pink Floyd classic "Echoes", and the quiet drama of the closer "Motion Picture Soundtrack", which houses a hidden track. Hey, that's seven of the ten songs! And it's not like I don't like "Treefingers" or "In Limbo"- they're just not as good as the rest. Oh, and the bass playing on this album is stellar - bass wasn't a big part of OK Computer, but it's central to all of these songs. As much as I'd like to call this Radiohead's best album - and it's probably their most creative - I have to give the edge to OK Computer - "Idioteque" is subpar. Kid A isn't the album for everyone - even OK Computer fans might not like it - but it is one to get if you're in the mood for something quite different. Oh, and if you don't have any Radiohead, do not start here - OK Computer and The Bends are recommended as first albums. Be sure to get this eventually, though.

i love this record but it's okay if you don't.......2007-06-12

well this is my favorite record of all time. you probably know what it sounds like so i'll skip that part and just say that i think it's hilarious and ridiculous how people who hate this record also seem to hate people who like it and people who like it don't seem to think much of those who hate it. to each his own people. i love this record - not because i think i'm 'supposed to' or because my hip friends will think less of me if i don't. i've paid good money to see radiohead 4 times (paramount in seattle, gorge in george, white river in auburn and at coachella 2004). if haters think that i (or anybody, really) would pay that kinda money just to go along with the crowd.. then you're stupid. if you hate this band then so what? i happen to like em, and so what, too? i also like bjork (tho i'm not much into anything after homogenic). and the chili peppers. i just downloaded a track from maroon 5 to play at a party. yesterday i listened to michael jackson's off the wall album about 5 times. john mayor? i love that song 'daughters' and a bunch of others from that record. oh yeah i also listen to black eyed peas and rihanna and ne yo and khaled and t-pain and !!!. so what? who cares? to each his own! dumping on people who's opinion differs from yours is just plain stupid. it's like me saying you're an idiot because you like sushi. i hate sushi. always will. it's just so.. disgusting.

Eccentric & Yet Very Captivating .......2007-06-03

1. Everything In Its Right Place - Very hypnotic and memorizing. Sounds like someone who's manic depressive or suffering from OCD. 10/10
2. Kid A - Freaky song. I love the "I slipped on a little white lie" line. 7/10
3. The National Anthem - Woooooaaaaaaahhhhh... this song is so thrilling. I adore the trumpets and Yorke screaming about holding on. Amazing bass! The loud horns near the end convey a sense of chaos. 10/10
4. How To Disappear Completely - Beautiful. Makes you feel nonchalant. 9/10
5. Treefingers - A lovely "breather" instrumental. 8/10
6. Optimistic - My favorite song on the album with a nice nod to "Animal Farm." 10/10
7. In Limbo - Love this song, but the lyrics are too vague. 9/10
8. Idioteque - About nuclear war? Possible. Great to dance to. 10/10
9. Morning Bell - A song about divorce as the line "Cut the kids in half" implies. 10/10
10. Motion Picture Soundtrack - An unutterably breathtaking song. 10/10

Conclusion: If you love it, great. If not, I pity you!

You can go ahead and give me the "unhelpful" mark..........2007-05-30

...because Kid A isn't just an album. Kid A is the benchmark album that separates the people who love music from the people who think that their love and "understanding" of music makes them superior to everyone else. I would love to know the number of people who absolutely hate this album but won't admit it. Music snobs agree..to admit that Kid A sucks is to admit that you don't "understand" the artful mind of Radiohead.

Well, I am admitting it here. Kid A isn't just a pretentious and boring album of electronic noise. It's a slap in the face to those of us who were fans of the guitar-driven rock of The Bends and Ok Computer.

I have Propellerhead's reason program. And by using only the Rhodes MK II electric piano sound and the programmable drum machine, you can accurately reproduce songs like Everything in it's right place in minutes. It's isn't brilliant. And just because it's Radiohead doesn't mean it's good.

Step up people. It's ok to hate this record. And it's ok to admit it.

Dark and chillingly complex, yet utterly listenable.......2007-03-31

Okay. When I was growing up, all that my parents gave me to listen to was their old '80s new wave CDs and LPs. Now I'm 17 years old, and I just started growing out of their generation's music about a year and a half ago. Now I find myself in search of music that stretches the limits of the human imagination to boundaries it has never before seen. In this new musical journey I'm going through, I've been listening to bands like Tangerine Dream, They Might Be Giants, Beck, The Apples In Stereo, and of course, Radiohead.

Kid A was a gigantic leap forward in Radiohead's growth as a progressive rock band. Laden with intense cascades of synthesizer riffs and pulsating drum beats, one would expect that Kid A would be difficult to listen to for the average person. Since I always assumed myself to be fairly average in my musical taste, I kind of assumed the same. Once I bought the album and popped it into my CD player, I was lost in the sea of synthesizers that is the opening track, "Everything In Its Right Place." I found that Thom Yorke's voice, which many have labeled as "whiny," effectively communicates the overall feeling that the album is trying to portray.

As the listening experience went on I found myself growing attached to "The National Anthem." It starts so simply with a repeating bass riff, and builds into an eruption of orchestral chaos that must be heard to believe. Only Thom could put it the right way: "Everyone around here, everyone is so near, it's holding on..."

"Treefingers," at first listen, sounds like a wacky synthesizer experiment, yet the entire piece was played on guitars and heavily modified and composed into an instrumental on a computer. It acts as a perfect segway into the following track, "Optimistic," another alternative ballad whose stark portrayal of our modern lives is drowned by the pounding drums and tectonic guitar riffs.

After "In Limbo" comes "Idioteque," one of Radiohead's boldest musical departures from their earlier style. It throws all the rules they went by out the window, coming in with a stomping synthesized drum track and one of the most impressive chord progressions I've ever heard. The samples of early electronic music used in the song, as well as the apocalyptic lyrics "Ice age coming, let me hear both sides...we're not scare mongering, this is really happening" portray the world of nuclear war and political struggle ever so clearly.

It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of "Fight for Your Right to Party" and "Brass Monkey," the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like "I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer" and "I started an escort service--for all the right reasons," it's obvious that Kid Rock doesn't aim to follow suit. But that's no hindrance to Devil--backed by the funky metal band Twisted Brown Trucker and special guests like blues vets Robert Bradley and Thronetta Davis, Rock is hosting one hell of an interesting party. Ultimately, Rock's party is great, schlocky fun, equal parts old Beasties and Sebastian Bach--making Devil a guilty pleasure, the Starship Troopers of hip-hop. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

A Modern Detroit Rock Classic.......2007-07-12

I bought this album the day it came out almost ten years ago in my hometown of Detroit. Since then I've bought the Limited Edition LP, all of the singles off of it, and the clean radio edition of the album just to say I own them all. To say that I love the album is probably a bit much.

When listening to this album it's key to remember the source and time that it came out. It was released right around the time of the Limp Bizkit era and the rap / rock fusion sound is what we were listening to at the time. This combined with the fact that Kid was originally a Detroit rapper should alone explain the overall sound of the album. If it doesn't then you should consider the source...

It was released by a Detroit artist for a Detroit audience. You're talking about the town where to this day Bob Seger has outsold the Beatles (and with good reason, if you ask me). The music scene in Detroit has always been a little off kilter to the rest of the country, so if you're buying the album specifically for "Only God Knows Why" then you'll be disappointed and should buy the single instead.

You should buy this album if you're looking for a specific sound that you won't hear duplicated anywhere else, before or since.

Very good.......2007-05-13

I bought this CD for "Only God Knows Why" since it is a great song

NOT SO "ROCK".......2007-04-14

ALTHOUGH HIS NAME IS KID ROCK HE SINGS MOSTLY RAP. THIS CD IS A FLOP. I THINK THE ONLY GOOD SONG ON THIS CD IS "ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY". THIS SONG PROVES THAT THERE ARE PRICES TO FAME AND ITS NOT ALL WHAT ITS CRACKED UP TO BE. IF YOU REALLY LIKE KID ROCK I SAY GET THE CD. IF YOU LIKE 1 SONG BY KID ROCK I SAY DONT GET THIS CD.

I can't believe people listen to this garbage.......2007-03-29

I am so thankful that all of these songs are out of radio rotation, because this jerk has created some of the worst music that America has ever witnessed. If you gave this album any more than two stars you should get your head checked.

A Classic.......2007-01-31

I've literally worn out my first copy of this CD and bought another. Truly a classic. Rap is crap, but his style of it with hard rock, grit and attitude is fine with me. The album is a public service actually. We needed the song Cowboy to replace Back in Black as the perennial strip club theme song. A replacement was long overdue.

Karate Kid Lives On.......2007-07-18

As a fan of 80's movies such as the Karate Kid series, it's fun to revist the nostalgia of the film in the music. Being able to play the music while traveling or even while at home relaxing, creates the mood and the enjoyment of the exciting story. You have to enjoy singing along with "You're the Best Around". But there is a better collection of Karate Kid Music now. There is a collection of the Scores of all four movies. For the die hard fan of the Karate Kid oriental music, the Score collection (though expensive) is the best to have, however, having both is the full experience since the score doesn't include the popular music.

Bill Conti Karate Kid collection released.......2007-03-31

I'm such a fan of the Karate Kid films -- at least the first two -- that I'll take anything I can get. This is a great set that reminds me of the film, but it's missing Bill Conti's music. However, Varese Sarabande has just released (March '07) a 4-CD set containing Bill Conti's score to ALL FOUR Karate Kid movies. It's a limited press run of 2000 copies, available only on their website. It's fantastic. Now all I want is a CD of the Karate Kid Part II soundtrack that I had on cassette, containing Dennis DeYoung, New Edition, Carly Simon, et al. -- that would make me deleriously happy.

Not worth it........2007-02-13

The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is "Moment of Truth" by Survivor. It's a song that bears repeated listening, unlike the others, which are throwaways. You can download "Moment of Truth" on iTunes or just about any music download site, so I wouldn't even bother getting this.

It's a shame that Bill Conti wouldn't release his orchestral music, with the Pan Flute and string-sounding instruments, in a wide release. That's the heart and soul of the film, in my opinion. I checked on the Varese Sarabande website, and a limited edition of the Bill Conti score for all 4 movies in one 4-disc set is indeed available; exclusively through them, of course. There's a limited supply, and the sets are about $45 each. I don't know why they couldn't have the soundtrack for each movie available separately, and why they had to make it a limited supply. Anyway, if you want the scores for just the first 2 movies (minus a couple of the tracks on the "official" releases), for much cheaper, just copy and past the following into Google; you'll come across some sites that have it, (legally as far as I know): Karate Kid Score "Bill Conti" MP3. I unfortunately can't post the URL per the Amazon review guidelines.

Missing Zamfir Music.......2006-06-15

This would have been the only reason I would have bought it, but it's missing from the soundtrack. Luckily I found this track on the Kill Bill Vol 1 album.

Songs aren't too bad..........2006-03-25

The songs on this are okay. It was really fun to hear the music from an awesome 80's movie!

Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be "cocky," as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, from rap to country, utilizing organ, pedal steel, and harp as well as metallic guitar solos. Ultimately, though, the 14 songs are schizophrenic and not always successful: on "Lonely Road of Faith," Kid Rock turns in a anthemic ballad nearly worthy of Lynyrd Skynrd, whose "Freebird" he samples in the laid-back R&B-flavored "You Never Met a Motherf**ker Quite Like Me," while Crow's vocals on the gentle, country tune "Picture" and the plodding "Midnight Train to Memphis" contrast with the metallic riffs of "I'm a Dog," the nasty "sex rhymes" of "WCSR," and the rapped boasts of the narcissistic title track. Cocky? Indeed. Commendable? Dubious. --Katherine Turman

Superior now than in retrospect .......2007-04-26

Kid Rock's 2001 album, 'Cocky', is definitely superior today than it was in 2001. Although Kid Rock has been releasing albums since 1991, 'Devil Without a Cause' is when the mainstream really noticed him and that went on to be one of the best selling albums of all time. After that, he made a quickie greatest hits release with 2000's 'The History of Rock'. Many fans (me included) got used to the sound produced there and the new country songs found in 'Cocky' came to a shock to us. Although I just recently purchased this album (I couldn't get into the country songs six years ago), I would have to say that it's a pretty good listen and better than I remembered it several years ago.

Although there are some great old-school style Kid Rock songs on here (such as 'Forever', the self-titled track, and WCSR with Snoop Dogg) , the country-flavored tracks represent a good portion of the album. In fact, there are more country/country-rock songs on here than from any other genre. Some fans will not be able to get over this, but as someone who has more or less outgrown rap-metal they actually come out as refreshing years later. I'm not typically a country fan at all, but songs like 'Lay It On Me', 'What I Learned Out On The Road', and 'Lonely Road of Faith' are very well-done.

Unfortunately, there are also some stinkers on this album as well, such as the hugely overrated single 'Picture', but the good definitely outweighs the bad. Dust off your copy of this and give it a try; you just might like it now.

Surprising.......2007-04-13

I purchased this CD for one song that I really liked and was surprised when I played the other songs due to some of the lyrics. I am what you would call "An Old Hippy" and I've really grown to love the entire CD. I consider Kid Rock to be a real rock and roller and his music appeals to a Headbanger (That's what me kids refer to me as) like me. Thanks

Poseur.......2007-01-02

Kid "Rock" is to rock-and-roll what Twinkies are to gourmet cooking. He's a poseur and a pretender, who tries to mimick the attitude and style of those who went before him -- Bob Seeger, Rolling Stones -- while hoping that no one will notice that he has none of their talent. Why listen to a pale imitation when the music of the true greats is still available?

It's Bragging When You CAN'T Back It Up.......2006-07-30

This was the biggest musical disappointment of 2001 by far. The first five songs on "Cocky" are quite decent and largely in the same style as "Devil Without a Cause," even if they fall a bit short of the classic-caliber stuff that appeared on that album. From there, Kid alternates between metal and country twang/Bob Seger-like stuff, with some hip hop or screaming metal elements thrown in for good measure. The album ends with a bonus rap track with Snoop Dogg, where Kid and Snoop take turns rapping explicitly about their groupies.

The main disappointment is the fact that Kid Rock doesn't stick to what he does best, which is the rapping. One or two country-ish songs could be acceptable in the mix, but putting it on the whole second half of the album doesn't cut it. The rapping or metal screaming placed in his country songs seems really extraneous, as well. There are definitely some good moments, but the album just doesn't live up to its predecessor and it gets old to hear Kid Rock boasting throughout the CD when his material doesn't back it up.

Raw but immature.......2006-03-27

I'm not a rap fan so that may color my review. I am rock fan, and while Kid Rock does produce some cool rock stretches in his songs the rap seemed to take away from what could be a rockin' CD. Kid can groove, I just wish he would do more of it. The constant profanity does not offend me, it just sounds stupid and gets boring. Overall, this is a fun CD, but I can't listen to more then 2 or 3 songs at a time.

Amazon.com

The degree to which you'll like The Captain & the Kid is going to depend on your personal history with Sir Elton John. If you're a resolute follower who was once reduced to a quivering mass of humility by "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and then revived by the blast of pop liberation that was "Philadelphia Freedom" (a single that later appeared on the CD version of Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, the album to which this disc is a sequel) you'll have enough invested to appreciate the concept. If, on the other hand, you're a late arrival to the Rocket Man's repertoire, you'll have to adjust your expectations. Kid, unlike more recent efforts, isn't aiming itself at the lite-FM listening masses. What it's asking instead is that you return yourself to your 1970s-era childhood bedroom, flop on the bed, and lock the door, or at least fasten an elastic band around your MTV-addled attention span. This is total-immersion music, and it's got 30 years worth of stories to tell.

The Captain and the Kid are John and Bernie Taupin, his longtime songwriting partner. The music, a choir-enhanced swerve through genres including pop, rock, blues, folk, and country with signature piano riffs thrown in nearly everywhere, chronicles their splintery relationship. Innocence and hope ("Postcards from Richard Nixon") give way to success and joy ("Just Like Noah's Ark"), which eventually leads to discontent ("Tinderbox") and disaster ("And the House Fell Down"). A shot at redemption ("The Bridge") later finds the Captain; reflection ("Old 67") and a joyous reunion (the title track) follow.

Theirs is ultimately a simple story, but John and Taupin suffuse it with hypnotic sentimentality--along with the narrative, echoes of past hits wander into several classic-sounding tracks. "Tiny Dancer" darts through the cracked-voice beauty of "Blues Never Fade Away" and "The Bridge," for example, while "Wouldn't HaveYou Any Other Way (NYC)" works in hints at both "Candle in the Wind" and "Where to Now St. Peter." Other songs shake loose less likely influences ("I Must Have Lost it on the Wind" sounds like something off a vintage Linda Ronstadt album), but all are compellingly steeped in context; if you don't get the late-disc reference to fine silk suits and six-inch heels, you'll wish you did. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

The Captain & The Kid, written with his long-time writing partner, Bernie Taupin. More than 30 years after the release of their landmark #1 multi-platinum album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, the duo returns with this sequel. The new album features 10 new songs reflecting the intimate lives and public times spanning the long-standing songwriting partnership of Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin. In fact, for the first time, both John and Taupin are featured on an Elton John album cover.

"The album is a celebration of our lives and our lifetimes, of our music and of the music we love. The Captain & The Kid continues our story. You can't look back, we're looking ahead," says John.

Created in the tradition of those fantastic records of the 60's and 70's, The Captain & The Kid is a celebration of when music was the most important voice of our culture and the album was its prime vehicle. Much like Elton's previous records Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, and Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, The Captain & The Kid is an album meant to transport you back to that place in time when music mattered most. 35 plus years-later, Elton really has become Captain Fantastic and Bernie is most definitely The Brown Dirt Cowboy and they are as passionate about their music as they have ever been.

"I find the whole album to be so touching and beautiful for me because I've lived it," Elton added. "I lived it with Bernie and we've come through it. We've gone over the bridge and here we are at the other side."

The first single from the album, 'The Bridge" is one of 10 tracks which picks up where Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy left off. The album tells the story of Elton and Bernie from when they arrived in Los Angeles 30 years ago, through the ups and downs of their lives, to present day.

Customer Reviews:

This Music Rocks! Elton & Bernie have done it again!.......2007-07-24

Since I frist out this album in the cd player. I just can't stop listening to it. As a Hardcore fan of Elton's this album is easily one of his best.It is equal to Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy. There wasn't a song on the cd that I did not like. Great classic Elton John Cool! Thanks Elton And Bernie for all the wonderful years of great music! If you like this cd make sure you go back and get the early music too. Especially Captain Fantastic because you cannot own one without the other.

The Old Man still has a lot of rockin left in the tank. .......2007-07-08

This is by far Elton's greatest album since Blue Moves. I came into this CD hoping it could withstand the test of time, which it did and then some. It took 30 years for the sequel to Capt. Fantastic and it was worth the wait. For a 60 year old, this dude rolled out rocker after rocker, his voice has never been better. I hope Bernie Taupin can keep Elton on this path for a little while before he does call it a career. The ballads and soft tunes just isnt his style. Rock and roll and mixing it with a slice of R&B is what made Elton who he is. Go buy this incredible album, you will not regret it one bit.

Hits Versus Albums.......2007-05-16

I have always been a classic Elton John fan. I've loved all of his biggest hits, but had never bought any albums other than his greatest hits. That changed when "Songs From The West Coast" was released. That album blew me away. I actually listen to that album now more than I do his greatest hits. While I did like his next album, "Peachtree Road", it didn't strike me the same way. I just picked up "Captain & The Kid" today, and was thrilled that it seemed to gel so well with "Songs From The West Coast". If you've considered yourself a mainly hits type of fan, I recommend that you pick up these two albums. Thanks Elton!

As far as I'm concerned..........2007-04-03

This highly personal recording hits it out of the park as far as I'm concerned. I mean, you've got some pretentious so-and-sos with the gall to try to tell Bernie and Sir Elton what kind of songs they should be writing. It's as if I'm hearing that unless these guys crank out an album of hard rock tunes, they may as well not bother. What gall.

These guys have taken the last 40 years of their lives and put it into song for us to try to understand where it is they've been all this time, and why after all that time they're still around. This is a gift! Is this something worth writing about? Damn skippy. It's about their lives, it's about two young British kids having to deal with the crazy phenomenon that became Elton John starting from their arrival in Los Angeles during the Nixon era; it's about the ensuing tensions that nearly tore them apart; it's about the deceitfulness of the recording industry and the constant hoops they had to jump through to keep the labels happy; it's about wondering why some they knew and loved didn't make it, and how it was they did so. By the end of this musical, they can sit on the porch, look back at 1967 with actual fondness, and drink a toast to being older - having survived through it all!

And they tell this story so..well, I don't have the words; it's moving at times, humorous at times, and as usual Elton takes Bernie's words and turns them into art. Imagine Bob Dylan trying to tell this story and then imagine me jumping out the window! It's Sir Elton's voice, thank God, and the story is told with his magical piano in a way only Elton John can tell it. He lived it, after all! These songs would be no good in someone else's catalog, as far as I'm concerned. I had the chance to watch a video where Sir Elton and and the elusive Taupin explain what's behind these songs. But, even without the documentary, it's all right there in the booklet.

I'm glad that the tone of the heavier subjects was lightened some by Elton's genius; I have only to think of "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and how glad I was when it came out on CD so that I could skip that suicide-inducing track altogether! For "The Captain and The Kid", it's different! Who knew a song about a drug-induced stupor could be such fun to sing along with? He's brilliant like Randy Newman that way: able to take horrible subject matter and making singable melodies with them. "Just Like Noah's Ark" is great; analagous to "Tower of Babel", smarminess is dealt with in a toe-tapping style, and Sir Elton and David's dog Arthur adds a little comedy to the mix. Then you have a song like "The Bridge", it's absolutely ethereal, Elton's voice raw with emotion, just beautiful.

The past is gone, Elton and Bernie know it, and the rest of us would do well to grow up and accept it as well. These aren't the hit songs from a couple of robotic crank-out artists, as sung about in "Bitter Fingers". These songs are from the heart and soul, and as such they may never get airplay. So what?! I would love to hear another heavily-orchestrated Elton John album, like the one that made me fall in love with him as a twelve-year-old, but that doesn't mean this album doesn't have merit, as far as I'm concerned. If I need to hear that style, "Made In England" is perfect. The "Captain and The Kid" works, as is, in its own way. "You can't go back, if you try it fails." Amen to that. All we've got is now, today, and I love Sir Elton's older, wiser voice. As far as I'm concerned, the story of Elton and Bernie is one worth telling, I'm glad they shared this very personal story with us, the CD their story has produced is listenable and brilliant, and whether or not it can be danced to it is, in the end, of very little importance.

Elton and Bernie, I appreciate your gift to me, and I thank you.

elton's best in 31 years........2007-03-20

let's welcome elton back to making excellent albums. it's been awhile. this highly autobiographical set of songs by elton and pal bernie is a sequel of sorts to the last excellent album he made (1975's "captain fantastic & the brown dirt cowboy). this is no "tumbleweed connection," the 1971 masterpiece which is easily the best thing elton has ever done, but it's a very fine piece of work, indeed. particularly wonderful here is elton's strongest singing in many a moon. what a voice! can't deny that. and the songs are all very good. "just like noah's ark," is an especially fine hard rock number that can stand up to the current work of any of his peers. i picked up this disc because i saw that mojo magazine picked it as the 33rd best album of 2006, and Q magazine picked it as the 28th. very glad i got the thing. i recommend it to you, too.

Is Kid Rock about to drop the first half of his stage moniker? Some alarmingly mature cuts on his sixth album, addressing the woes of single parenthood ("Single Dad") and painful separations ("Cold and Empty," a cover of Bob Seger's "Hard Night For Sarah"), might suggest so. But that's only part of the story. As Rock reiterates on "Son of Detroit," a butt-kicking revamp of David Allan Coe's "Son of the South," "I like country, soul, rock and roll, and I love me some hip-hop." Yet compared to his previous work, that last flavor takes a back seat to the other three: Hank Williams, Jr. drops by for the swaggering "Cadillac Pussy," Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin' Love" gets a gritty nu-metal update, and ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd receive shout outs. Have no fear, fans--even as he reconciles having a child with acting like one, the Kid still lives to rock. --Kurt B. Reighley

What a great album in general..forget that it's kid rock.......2006-11-11

Ok we all know Kid Rock got big by Devil. This album isn't the traditional radio anything. It's just solid music. Kid had always been rocky but this album proves he's a true talent. He bridges gaps. For example, my father is a cash/willie/hag country type fan. Sure he loves his Bruce but that's as far as he's gone. When I was 21 playing devil he wasn't impressed. After I got this album it for him and said trust me, you will like it. He loved it. Now he plays it all the time. Rock is an inovator. When I play a tune like "I am" most friends ask who it is. They don't even know it's kid rock. They liked his older radio stuff, an like this but didn't even know it's him (casual music listeners). Now if that's not talant I don't know what is!!! I can't WAIT for his next!

Great CD.......2006-08-20

I love this CD it shows Kidd's diversity which is what I enjoy most about him. Favorite tune is track 14 Go back to LA wonder what Pam thinks of this song now that they are married!

Bobby Richie.......2005-08-28

This album is kick a$$.A mix of good rock & roll,hip hop,and some country.Buy this cd you will love it i promise.

BEST CD YET.......2005-08-06

I hope to god that kid makes another CD. His earlier CDs shower not nearly as much potential as this. This CD had 3 hits (feel like makin love, cold and empty & jackson mississippi) but the whole CD was a hit. every single song was great, unlike his others where only a few were bad. Buy this CD if you would like to see a more mature side of kid rock.

Kid Rock does songs on here with William Hanks Jr (country singer), Billy Gibbons (of ZZTop), and Sheryl Crow. He has one rap song, a few country ballads and the rest are good rock and roll that is much different than anything he's made before.

In his past albums he switched around from genre to genre but he has found the music that soothes his soul which is country rock that surprisingly still lives up to his name of "The Kid Who Can Rock"

by the way....if nobody likes this guy now, how in the world did he sell 16 million copies?

2 best songs: Black Bob & Intro

2 Worst Songs: Single Father (bonus track) & Hard Night 4 Sarah

I had NEVER listened to Kid Rock...at all...thinking he was another of those white, hip-hop wanta be rappers. Man...was I mistaken!!! On a recent long roadtrip, my traveling companion brought her copy of this CD along and I'm sure glad she did! This CD rocks with a wonderful mix of genre that keeps the music fresh. The remakes were different while giving respect to the original. I'm here buying a copy for myself!

Equating Martha Stewart with hip is enough to give any parent pause. Are "good things" on the order of ribbon-festooned lampshades what cool has come to? Yes and no. Sleepytime may not crash through the cool barrier entirely--its liner notes leap right over the music, choosing, instead to instruct how to frame hand-knit booties--but it comes admirably close. Sending preciousness scampering to the opposite side of the street on this 14-track disc are the artists: Keb' Mo', Lucinda Williams, Billy Bragg, and Alison Krauss represent, in more hushed tones than usual, what makes modern music worth listening to. The Barenaked Ladies loosen the tongues from their cheeks for "Close to You," Linda Ronstadt works out the bedtime kinks on a cover of Lennon and McCartney's "Goodnight," and Bobby McFerrin lulls listeners along unintelligibly on "Common Threads." Songs by Tuck and Patti, Jenny Bruce, and Nickel Creek swoop in softly, grab us by the mushy parental core, and encircle us with an intoxicating calm. With Sleepytime Martha Stewart proves, in a typically tasteful package streaked with uncharacteristic cool, that she hasn't lost the scent of success. --Tammy La Gorce

The Best.......2007-02-13

This is the best lullaby album you could ever buy! Every mom and dad I give this to says they can't get enough of it. I have listened to this cd with both of my kids (4 & 1) and I still love it everytime I hear it.
It is a must have for any new baby!

Love this album!.......2006-11-10

I absolutely love this album. It is such a sweet group of lullabies. It is the only cd that my daughter sleeps with... and when I try to switch it she has a lot of trouble getting calm. This is actually the second copy of this album I've bought. Now we keep one in the car too!

This is a special CD..........2006-08-02

Baby Mine alone makes this CD worth it!!! It really is a unique and special collection of music. I've used songs in movies, they are great for road trips, or just to listen around the house. You won't regret the $10 it costs to have songs that will bring back so many wonderful memories!

Great CD for Day Care .......2006-05-24

I work in a day care--infant room actually (the Peek-a-Boos!) and this is a great CD. Our babies fall asleep to it & we all (the teachers) enjoy listening to it as it loops twice or three times during nape time (12pm-2pm).

Best Baby C.D. EVER. No kidding!.......2006-05-23

I have bought this c.d. THREE TIMES because I either wear it down, or lose it. I have to re-buy it because it is just LOVELY. Every song is a treat. As a parent I adore even more than my son. This is my favorite baby c.d. of all time...and it is one of my personal favorites! You will not regret buying this c.d. It is really wonderful.

Essentially a live greatest-hits package, 'Live' Trucker, recorded before several different Detroit-area crowds, reminds us not only that Kid has long been an entertainer first and songwriter second but that he can surprise even the most jaded listener at the most unexpected moment. He works the urban hillbilly angle to the hilt, gives shouts out to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Cobo Hall and offers hope to disenfranchised kids in crummy apartment complexes and trailer parks from sea to shining sea via "Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train" and "American Bad Ass." Although the last name is Rock, Kid's never been afraid of letting a little bit of honky tonk piano into the mix or blending classic southern soul and the heaviest of rap 'n' roll as he does in "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp." He's also not opposed to revealing his deep and apparently authentic affinity for country, something he does during the touching "Picture" with his Nashville counterpart Gretchen Wilson. Ultimately, 'Live' Trucker rises above the usual stopgap status of live and greatest hits recordings and stands tall, a statue of redneck rebellion, and reveals that Kid Rock's just getting started. --Jedd Beaudoin

kid rock.......2007-07-13

Gave this to my husband who is a Kid Rock fanatic. He loved it. He said it took him back to when we went to Kid's concert. (Man what a show he puts on!!!)

Great Albumn.......2007-04-27

Love this album! Makes you feel like you're there. Must have for any kid fan.

The sad clown.......2006-11-29

I had the misfortune to hear a few selected tracks and I all I can do is laugh! This limp artist continues to bore us with tepid, bland muzak. The Kid is like a nagging cough and his "music" is the phlegm that gets spit up...over and over. He truly has become a mere sad clown whose schtick has been overplayed for years now. When the dwarf died, so did the "little" talent that once existed.

MY NAME IS KIDDDDDD.....KIDDDD ROCK!!!!!.......2006-11-13

This album is absolutely amazing. Kid Rock is by far my favorite musician of all time! He can do everything. Rock, Rap, Country, Blues, etc. He does it all and he does it well. If your a Kid Rock fan you must have this album. If you have an upgraded sound system in your vehicle even better. Turn up the volume and forget all your little problems while Kid Rock and the Twisted Brown Trucker Band puts your speakers through the works! 100% recommended.

THE KID ROCKS!!!.......2006-07-11

I was hesitant in buying this CD because it was live. Usually live CDs don't do it for me, but this one is amazing! I've listened to it over and over and over and over.....
