Kid Rock Tickets : The Album Became His First Album Not To Feature A Parental Advisory Sticker On It

Robert James "Bob" Ritchie known by his stage name Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, musician and rapper with five Grammy Awards nominations.

Kid Rock released several studio albums that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record Devil Without a Cause, released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba", "Cowboy", and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock which was a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from his previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass" and the previously unreleased "Abortion".

In April 2010 Kid Rock started the Born Free era off with a spring cruise dubbed "The Chillin The Most Cruise". Then he followed that up by hosting the CMT Awards in June and performed "Cowboy".Kid Rock released Born Free on November 16, 2010 and it debut at No 5 selling 189,000 copies in its first week. The album was produced by Rick Rubin and featured David Hildago and Matt Sweeny on gutair as well as Chad Smith on drums and Benmont Tench on keys and piano. The album became his first album not to feature a parental advisory sticker on it.

The album's lead single was the patriotic "Born Free." It was the theme song to the 2010 MLB playoffs on TBS as well as WWE's Tribute To The Troops Special. The album reached gold status on December 15, 2010. The album's current single is " God Bless Saturday". The album feature's Martina McBride and T.I. on "Care", Sheryl Crow and Bob Seger on "Collide", Zac Brown on "Flying High" and Trace Adkins on "Rock Bottom Blues".

Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow recentley finished the music video for "Collide" while he was on tour in Wichita, Kansas. He also released a Detroit only EP called Racing Father Time containing alternate versions of "Slow My Roll" and "Lonely Road Of Faith" along with new songs "The Midwest Fall" and "Fuckin' Forty". The latter was co-written with John Eddie. "The Midwest Fall" is another emotional song about a man losing his job on the autoline.On January 15, 2011 Kid Rock celebrated his 40th birthday with a performance at Ford Field in Detroit. The marathon concert featured Uncle Kracker, Peter Wolfe, Rev Run, Sheryl Crow, Cindy Crawford, Jimmie Johnson and Anita Baker.

Kid Rock is currently writing songs for his successor to Born Free. "We've already started writing for the next record and talking about the feel and where we want to go with it," Rock told Billboard.com during a press conference Thursday announcing an Aug. 12 stadium show in his home town of Detroit. "I think 'Born Free' was kind of a transitional record with Rick Rubin and going into the rootsy, American blues/rock 'n' roll vibe. I'd kind of like to go back to something like maybe a 'Cocky' feel -- that record, but knowing more now and trying to put those elements together."

Rock's other future plan includes coming to terms with video footage he's accumulated over the years and possibly making some commercially available in the near future. "It's something I struggle with," he acknowledged. "I've probably shot six DVDs, professionally, had them edited and everything. But it's like anything; if you go see a sporting event or whatever, it's always better live. It's just tough to capture it on tape."

Rock promised that "there will be something... I think for Christmas" and possibly from his recent show at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which he called "one of my best performances to date." He added that he may also consider releasing live footage via his web site.Kid Rock's musical style ranges from Midwest hip hop to country rock and rap rock.His influences include Jim Croce, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, Bob Seger, Run-DMC, Beastie Boys, Whodini, Too Short, Eric B. & Rakim and Esham.
