Kid Rock says his new album, “Rebel Soul,” is designed to be all things to all people – at least to all people who happen to be Kid Rock fans. 

He tells us that:

“This one I kinda wanted to go back to making Kid Rock records the way I’ve done it for so many years and try to focus on making kind of a greatest hits feeling record with all new songs…Basically just doing whatever I want to do, not listen to anybody or anything, finding inspiration from other music or just in the songwriting process. Just the way I feel, the way approach it – write this type of songs, write that type of songs.”

“If I wanted to get wild and write one of the crazy old school Kid Rock songs, do that, just…That’s the way I like to make records, and I write ‘em kind of the way you tailor a live show. You take people on this musical journey, taking them up, taking them down. That’s what I wanted this record to feel like.”

Rock produced the album himself and recorded it mostly with his Twisted Brown Trucker band at his home studio and his rehearsal facility in suburban Detroit. The album was preceded by the single “Let’s Ride” and is Rock’s first music to be made available via iTunes.

The video for “Let’s Ride,” meanwhile, premieres Tuesday (November 20) on AOL/Spinner, and Rock performs during halftime of Thursday’s (November 22) Detroit Lions-Houston Texans game in Detroit, which will be broadcast on Fox.

CBS’ “Sunday Morning” will air a segment on Rock on November 25, and Rock plans to take Twisted Brown Trucker on the road to support the album in early February.
