Good Morning to all my Tom Petty Nation Brothers & Sisters. Yes this is Kid Rocks new release but about at :49 seconds you will hear Tom Petty being sung in the chorus. The chorus is sung about 3 or 4 times. Kid Rock says his upcoming album digs deeper into country music. And from the sound of its lead single, ‘First Kiss,’ he’s sticking pretty close to the genre’s usual take on growing up in a small town, from first girlfriends and old Chevys to beloved pickup trucks and “Main Street [feeling] like Park Avenue.” And just as Eric Church paid tribute to a classic-rock giant on his hit ‘Springsteen’ a few years ago, Kid Rock nods to another rock-radio mainstay: Tom Petty. The chorus of ‘First Kiss’ includes the line, “Tom Petty on the radio / Going steady with nowhere to go,” and Rock sings it with beer-raising earnestness. You can watch the video — which depicts a small town that’s still stuck somewhere around 1957.
