Kid Rock

From the perfectly rendered homage to Seger's Live Bullet that serves as cover art to the hurtling hard boogie of Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backing band, this SoCo-glugging parking lot brawl of a live set is as fun as the concert albums of the '70s that it was clearly inspired by. Rock has fashioned a truly unique persona in music -- half rapper and half Southern rocker -- and he works it perfectly here. Play "American Bad Ass" loud enough and you'll be crowd surfing in your mom and dad's living room. The almost vulnerable (!) "Only God Knows Why" is another major highlight.
