After my "Rock'n Roll Jesus" has very well-liked, I was looking for further material from Kid Rock and landed in this "Self Titled". And I like it very well - better than the current album as more varied, less mainstream and radio friendly and somehow more authentic. Very rock, a little soulful and a little more country - a pleasant mix. The lyrics are now rather less complex :-) but that you did not expect so when Mr. Ritchie. The rather simple and cheesy ballads that beautiful voice comes to advantage and makes up for a lot.
