Born Free

Kid Rock

A sharp pivot toward warm, organic heartland rock and Americana. Rick Rubin production strips away the rap-rock artifice for soulful, sun-drenched anthems.

November 15, 2010 · Atlantic

A sun-drenched, optimistic reflection on American life that prioritizes warmth and sincerity over swagger.

Moments Worth Listening For
The triumphant, wide-open piano chords that anchor the title track's soaring chorus.
The unexpected vulnerability in the vocal delivery during the acoustic-led bridge of Care.
The way the gospel-tinged backing vocals swell during the final crescendo of Times Like These.
