Redneck Paradise 🎶 The F Word…
Country music royalty and rock rebel — Hank Jr. and Kid Rock have one of those unlikely but genuinely tight friendships that fans love. They first connected years ago when Kid Rock showed up to one of Hank Jr.’s shows already knowing all his songs, and that mutual respect sparked something real. Over time they became close — so close that Hank Jr. has called Kid Rock like family and even jokingly referred to him as his “rebel son.”
The two have also teamed up musically, most notably on the gritty, fun duet “Redneck Paradise” on Kid Rock’s Rebel Soul album, where their big voices and bigger personalities make for classic Southern rock-country energy.
Outside the studio, they share a love of hunting, fishing, and just hanging out — proving that their friendship goes beyond music into real life brotherhood…
Here’s two songs for you…

No! In fact as I messaged you about Kid Rock I said to myself he kind of just arrived on the scene for me. I knew nothing of him before he entered my world!
