Great track, love it
This is a fusion of Sweet Home Alabama and Warren Zevons - Werewolves of London

I definitely hear the Sweet Home Alabama in there! I've heard Werewolves of London before but I can't remember how it sounds. I'll have to give it a listen and pick it out!

Have always loved this one. I listened to a lot of Kid growing up. Still like a few of his songs, sometimes.

I have a lot of his albums, he's got some great songs out. Similarly to you, I also used to listen a lot. During the time I listened it was a great fit!

This track was a huge summer hit.
I always felt like kid rock had ripped off sweet home Alabama and werewolves of London. Until I started to understand, Especially with what the song is about, That it's kinda a homage to the importance of those songs to his life at that time.
Which I now think is a very clever mix of the two. Because he's singing about how much he enjoyed that time of his life and how those tracks remind him of those times, those tracks were important.
Not referencing those tracks in his story would be like singing about Britain in the 90s without even mentioning the Spice Girls 🤣

I'm sure it was! Super catchy if you like the style. I definitely think it's a great homage, including both elements of the song as well as the atmosphere it was often played in.
I always liked his variety of styles, there's relatively few artists that have blended rap, rock, and country!

He's done it really well aswell, blending those styles I mean. Found a really good mix of all of them.
