Kid Rock says he's "on fire" in the studio, which has led him to scuttle plans to tour this spring in order to finish work on his follow-up to 2007's double-platinum album "Rock N Roll Jesus."
"I really feel like I've kind of got this figured out," the rapper and singer-songwriter tells Billboard. "I think I can make an equally good record, if not better than the last one -- which is once again putting quite a weight on your shoulders. But I do like the pressure."
Rock has been working at his Allen Roadhouse studio in the Detroit suburbs with his Twisted Brown Trucker Band -- particularly guitarist Marlon Young, who co-wrote several songs on "Jesus" -- as well as good friend Uncle Kracker, longtime engineer Al Sutton and producer/engineer Mike E. Clark (Insane Clown Posse, George Clinton, Primal Scream). Rock hopes to have the album finished before he hits the road this summer and put it out in the fourth quarter.
"Obviously I had a great year in 2008," Rock says, "one of my best since (1999's "Devil Without a Cause" album) -- maybe even better considering the times we're in. We're at a point where you do something and then it's forgotten, and I'll have to prove myself again, and that's just incredible. People need to be reminded sometimes, and sometimes being humble doesn't do that so well."

This will be his E=MC2, Here I Stand, I think. All Summer Long caught everyone by surprise, and I doubt he could have anything as big.

He always has a pretty successful single though. Remember "Picture"? Did you think he would ever get another hit after that?

Do we really need a thread for it?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in this. His music's a guilty pleasure of mine, kinda like watching Disney movies and drinking Yoo-Hoo.
