What a beautifully thorough slam on KidRock in the midst of high praise for R.L. (from this Amazon review): 


Burnside's eclectic brew of funk, hip-hop, blues and rock is as tasteful

a reinvention of a storied sound as anyone could have asked for. Even the 

unfortunate presence of Kid Rock - a talentless poser who seems bent on 

mooching off the reputation of every elder statesman in the business - 

cannot distract from Burnside's energetic and menacing vocal performance 

throughout the set. This is not an attempt at dressing up an older 

artist's sound to make him seem hip to a younger audience. It is a 

startlingly successful (and refreshing) experiment in which Burnside's 

authenticity is never compromised by production.
