Photo via Atlantic Records Detroit rocker Kid Rock is set to return this fall with a shiny new album called ‘Rebel Soul,’ which is due out Nov. 19. Now, fans have a first taste of what to expect from the album in a rollicking new single called ‘Let’s Ride.’ ‘Let’s Ride’ is a patriotic anthem of sorts, bleeding red, white and blue, with a riff that’s equal parts AC/DC and Rolling Stones, The track’s focus is definitely on the members of the military, with lyrics such as, “Come on and grab your guns let’s ride / May your conscience be your guide / I’ll say a prayer for you to make it through to the other side / Tonight’s the night we fight or die.” With his usual rock ‘n’ roll swagger, Kid Rock delivers lines like, “Grab your gun, son, said we’re heading for war / Like your uncle JT thirty years before / No pussy, no dope, this ain’t Saigon / But keep your heads up for roadside bombs!” ‘Rebel Soul’ is Kid Rock’s follow up to his 2010 smash ‘Born Free.’ Kid Rock produced the disc in his own state-of-the-art recording studio at his Detroit-area home.
