• Kid Rock Outlines Plans for Album 'First Kiss'; Emphasis Will Still Be on Live Performance

    Kid Rock is gearing up for the release of his next album "First Kiss," due out Feb. 24. The rocker has opened the record up for pre-orders on his website. Fans who pre-order the album will also be sent the title track instantly ahead of the song's video release Jan. 6. Rock spoke with The Pulse of Radio about how live shows are keeping the industry alive, Blabbermouth notes. "At this point it's about putting people in seats, you know," he said. "It's about live. We've seen this. The days of making money selling records like we were used to when it first came out are not there — and I'm not necessarily upset about that. To me, live is everything, always has been." The artist will share lyrics from the album on his website every Monday leading up to its release. He is also asking fans to share photos on Twitter and Instagram of their first kiss of the New Year with the hashtag #KidRockFirstKiss. Some of the photos will be used for a video preview of the song, but all of them will be displayed on Rock's website Jan. 1.
