Kid Rock brings his Yankee brand of Southern (including hybrid originals incorporated with plagiarized covers) rock and roll to the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa on Saturday, June 27, culminating the first week of summer.
Although many of the northern Confederate rocker's creations are of simple construction and composed of three-chord repeats, his songs deliver an anthem-like quality and resonate with the blue collar set. Ironically, the former breakdancer and eccentric performer hails from Romeo, Mich., a fairly affluent suburb north of Detroit where young Bobby (his birth name is Robert James Ritchie) fed from a silver spoon.
Kid Rock managed his first worldwide smash hit with 2008's All Summer Long, an ode (including partial reproduction) to Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet home Alabama where he waxes nostalgic about days gone by spent partying on the lakes of Michigan. To say the tune samples from Skynyrd's original is an understatement. Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon also plays a recognizable role in the song's composition. The song is met with as much excess as success. How could he NOT play it at his Tampa date when he is joined by (who else?) Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Kid Rock tickets start at $26 for lawn seating.
