Collecting two decades of smash hits on one blockbuster release, multiplatinum music icon Kid Rock will unleash Greatest Hits You Never Saw Coming on Friday, September 21 via Warner Bros. Records.
While things appear to be slowing down around his supposed Michigan senatorial bid, it looks like Kid Rock will stay busy tending to his more familiar occupation. Announced today, the provocative rocker will release 11th studio album, titled Sweet Southern Sugar, on Nov. 3, which will include his three most recently released singles, "Greatest Show on Earth" "Po-Dunk" and “Tennessee Mountain Top."
Over the course of three albums and an EP, Ugly Kid Joe managed to parlay their pronounced Guns N' Roses fixation into something of a career. On their best songs – "Everything About You," "Neighbour," and "Milkman's Son" – they blended cartoon rebellion and a sense of humor best described as pre-adolescent into powerhouse singles full of tasteless good fun. Perfect for that time of life when all one wants to do is go around breaking things. Though routinely flagged as a hair band, their twin-guitar attack and fondness for funky, bottom-end heavy riffing also places Ugly Kid Joe among the forefathers of the late-'90s rap-metal explosion. As Ugly as They Wanna Be showcases the band in all their juvenile glory – from their surprise hit version of Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle" to their tight cover of Black Sabbath's "NIB" to "Busybee" – pretty much the best Guns N' Roses song Guns N' Roses never recorded – all the hits are here, present and accounted for.
