Robert James Ritchie (born January 17, 1971), known professionally as Kid Rock, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, musician, record producer, and actor. His 1998 album Devil Without a Cause sold 14 million copies worldwide.[1] He is a five-time Grammy Award nominee and has sold 25 million albums in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. The RIAA certified him selling 23.5 million albums. He has sold over 35 million records worldwide and he was Soundscan's number-one selling male solo musician of the 2000s, selling 17.6 million albums; he was 17th overall for the decade.

Rock performed rap and hip hop with five releases between 1990 and 1997, including a reissue and an EP. After signing a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 1998, he gained commercial success in the rap rock genre behind the singles "Bawitdaba", "Cowboy" and "Only God Knows Why" (the latter foreshadowing his move into country rock). After the success of Devil Without a Cause in 2000, he released The History of Rock, a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from previous albums as well as the hit rock single, "American Bad Ass".

Rock's follow-up records became more rock-, country-, and blues-oriented, starting with 2001's Cocky. His collaboration with Sheryl Crow on the song "Picture" was his first country hit and biggest pop hit in the US to date charting at No. 4 on the Hot 100.[2] After 2003's Kid Rock and 2006's Live Trucker sales declined from the previous releases, he then released Rock n Roll Jesus in 2007. The album featured the song "All Summer Long", which charted at No. 1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia.[3][4] In 2010, he released Born Free, which featured an eponymous song that became the political campaign theme of Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Rock released Rebel Soul on November 19, 2012 behind the rock hit "Let's Ride". The album was certified gold in April 2013. Kid Rock released First Kiss on February 24, 2015 behind the hit title track.

"All Summer Long" is a song recorded by Kid Rock. It was released in 2008 as the third single from his seventh studio album Rock n Roll Jesus. The song samples two hit songs of the 1970s, Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London", and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". The idea for the mashup was suggested by Mike E. Clark.[1]

The song was a number-one hit in eight countries across Europe, Australia and the United Kingdom. It even crossed over to southern rock radio, giving Kid Rock his first top-ten country hit.[2] The song was the official theme song to WWE's pay-per view event, Backlash 2008. The song was also the theme song to the 2009 World Cup. It was featured in the video game Power Gig Rise Of The Sixth String. He performed the song at the 2009 Grammys and at Wrestlemania 25, both in medleys. He also promoted the song in Europe performing on Top Of The Pops and World Music Awards. The song lead to the TV special VH-1 Storytellers in November 2009. The song opened the door for hip hop in country music. As Lil Wayne joined him at the 2009 CMA Awards.

Throughout the chorus of the song, the lyrics gives repeated references of the narrator and his (implied) girlfriend engaging in underage drinking of whiskey, smoking of unnamed substances (implied to be marijuana), and "making love," all in the northern part of Michigan, Kid Rock's home state, as well as "singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long". Rock's friend, Mathew Shafer, also a Michigan native, shares co-author credit as songwriter. Additionally, before the guitar solo, Kid Rock shouts "turn it up" as an homage to the original Skynyrd song's opening.
