Kid Rock New Song

Kid Rock, New Artists Visit CMT Music Awards Pressroom

Host Kid Rock , fan favorite Luke Bryan and new artists like The Band Perry and American Idol sensations Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina enthusiastically greeted reporters backstage at the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night (June 8) in Nashville.

Without warning, Kid Rock bounded on the press platform, causing photographers to scramble for their cameras and reporters to reach for their recorders. First he fielded a question about when he's going to make a country album.

"Man, that's tough. I just enjoy music, so to narrow it down and say I'm just going to go country ... plus, man, they do so much stuff in country I'm kind of amazed about. I've been touring my butt off for 25 years. They're signing autographs for 24 hours and talking to radio shows. You can't play a show until 11 at night and then get up and go to a radio station and beg them to play your song," he said. "I just like being me. Whatever that is, I own it."

Asked for his reaction to Jason Aldean 's rap-infused "Dirt Road Anthem," Kid Rock teased the reporters that he should be thanked for being one of the first artists to blend those styles. Then he noted, "Country and hip-hop are not that far apart in spirit. It's all blues music. Country's really been good about it, especially in my lifetime, about opening up to a lot of genres. ... Country's kind of opened its arms and said, 'If it's cool, we're going to embrace it.' There are so many artists who never get their due who could be rock, could be country, and country's blazing the trail in being open-minded."

The Band Perry claimed two awards at the CMT Music Awards -- for USA Weekend Breakthrough Artist and the Nationwide Insurance On Your Side Award as country music's best new live act. The three siblings posed for photos before tackling questions about their fast-rising career.

"It's huge for us," said lead singer Kimberly Perry. "One thing I love about the CMT Awards is that it's fan voted. And we in The Band Perry believe that country music is the people's music. We're just really honored that they would've voted for us."

In particular, she praised the artists they have opened for, like Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw .

"One thing I appreciate so much is their golden ear," she said. "Those guys know a great song. We were in our dressing room playing some brand new songs that we've been working on. Out of the corner of my eye, I kind of saw this figure in a cowboy hat.
