| Review: Kid Rock riffs on echoes of the past By Jeffrey Lee Puckett The Courier-Journal Kid Rock never fails to deliver an entertaining show, unless you're easily offended or the worst kind of music snob. His Louisville performances have always been the biggest, dumbest, most pimpadelic fun possible and that was plenty -- but he upped the ante Saturday night at Freedom Hall. Rock has transformed himself from a guy who writes catchy choruses into a musician firmly rooted in the traditions of rock, country and hip-hop, with a splash of soul. His new songs, from the "Rock N Roll Jesus" album, already sound like classic rock radio staples, overly familiar in a lot of ways but also completely comfortable. He's fried chicken and mashed potatoes. The Rock 'n' Roll Revival tour reflects his new music. The strippers, pillars of fire and purple velvet capes are gone, but the bar-band muscle of his Twisted Brown Truckers band remains, augmented by guest stars who reflect Rock's interest in music history. Saturday's show was an homage to the old Motown revues -- Rock is from Detroit, Motown's home -- with segments dedicated to Dickey Betts, founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, and Rev Run, of Run-D.M.C. It was a blast hearing Betts rip through "Rambling Man," and Rev tore up "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way," but Rock was still the star.. |
