Kid Rock is an eponymous album by Kid Rock and his fourth Atlantic Records album. It was released in 2003. It was critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone Magazine; they named it one of the 50 Greatest Albums of 2003. Although this album has been largly ignored by the record buying public, it has been noted as Kid Rock's most mature album to date. He shows his creative ability, his songwriting skills and cements his relationship with the country music tradition. The country ballad "Cold and Empty," for example, which he co-wrote with Kenny Chesney is a definite highlight on the album as well as the moving "Do It For You." The album saw two cover in Bob Seger number "Hard Night For Sarah" which had been never released since Bob Seger wrote in in 1979. While Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin Love" would get an updated sound. "Single Father" landed him on the country chart for a second straight album. It as charted as his 3rd best country single and was written by country music icon David Allan Coe.
Success on radio
The album's lead single was a cover of Bad Company's "Feel Like Makin Love". It was released October 2, 2003 to radio and would peak at #33 on the Mainstream Rock charts. In January of 2004 he released the dark southern metal song "Jackson, Mississippi" to rock stations and the country love ballad "Cold and Empty" to AC and Pop stations. Jackson peaked at #14 on the Mainstream Rock charts while Cold and Empty peaked at #20 on the AC charts. The song failed to chart on either the Top 40 or Hot 100. In July of 2004 he followed the same route releasing duel singles again, releasing the acoustic ballad "I Am" to rock radio and the country ballad "Single Father" to country radio.
