| "My name is Kid...!" Kid Rock is back loud and proud with Cocky. He does what he does best, mixing many musical styles to create his own unique brand of rock 'n' roll. Included are larger than life arena anthems such as "Forever", "What I Learned Out On The Road" and "Lonely Road".
"...it takes a sort of odd genius to flaunt boorish behavior with such good-natured panache... if that ain't rock & roll, I'll kiss your a**." Rob Brunner, Entertainment Weekly
"...you can't help but yowl along." David Sprague, Rolling Stone
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel includes: Kid Rock (vocals, guitar, bass); Sheryl Crow (vocals, 12-string acoustic guitar, bass); Jimmie Bones (vocals, harmoncia, organ, keyboards); Snoop Dogg, Uncle Kracker, Misty Love, Shirley Hayden, (vocals); Jason Krause, Kenny Olson (guitar); Matt O'Brien (bass); Stefanie Eulinberg (drums). | | Recorded at Clarkston Chophouse Studios, Detroit, Michigan. | | Kid Rock's unique blend of Midwestern rock & roll, rap, and R&B gets another airing with COCKY, which features a plethora of road tunes, who's-the-baddest cuts, and straight-ahead drinking songs. The slow, greasy grooves of "You Never Met a Motherf**cker Quite Like Me" contrast violently with the Detroit Rock City raunch of "I'm a Dog," which itself stands in stark contrast to the first half of "Midnight Train to Memphis," an atypical, steel guitar-accompanied ballad. | | You don't come to Kid Rock for subtlety (the last cut, WCSR, featuring Snoop Dogg, is proof of that). He's a Midwestern rapper who wishes he was in Lynyrd Skynrd--and who could probably make a pretty good job of it. The straight-ahead rock tunes swing mightily courtesy of drummer Stefanie Eulinberg, and Rock has his bad-ass rap act down cold here, though how much longer he can keep it up is another question for another time. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (1/17/02, p.48)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...A massive banging victory....Rock self-conciously builds on his badass-hick-with-a-heart-of-gold image..."Entertainment Weekly (11/23/01, p.82)
- "...A similar blend of low-rider hip-hop and strip-mall heavy metal, flavoring its Camaro-ready jams with the occasional turntable wika-wika, Steven Tyler yowl or tasty guitar lick...you have to at least admire the breadth of his vision..." - Rating: B Q (1/02, p.102)
- 3 out of 5 stars - "...songs take rock and rop ethics and enthusiastically smash them together..." Mojo (Publisher)
(2/02, p.102)
- "...An enjoyably bad-ass record..." |
