		Like Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker is a difficult case to categorize; he’s about as tough to cage as it would be to capture the alligator pictured on his new disc.

	Uncle Kracker Seventy-Two & Sunny CD Review
		Seventy Two and Sunny is stocked high with predictable romantic sentiments and couched in borrowed musical ideas, but Uncle Kracker appears to be merely collecting a paycheck, rather than playing the game to win.
		Uncle Kracker touches upon a wide variety of fine musical styles throughout, yet never adds much of his uniqueness to them.
		Kid Rock has been Uncle Kracker’s benefactor for quite a while, but the best thing he can do for the man right now is give him swift kick in the pants.

		Maybe there is something in his native waters of Detroit, but Uncle Kracker definitely takes full advantage of the opportunity and delivers an amusing, party-ready debut CD of country, rockabilly, and hip-hop-infused rock & roll that is guaranteed to please.
		Your opinion of Uncle Kracker, however, is largely dependent on your opinion of Kid Rock.
		It's more of the same; however, Uncle Kracker provides an added dose of melody to the Kid Rock formula with his gravelly, mellow, and rather soulful voice.

		Uncle Kracker is back with the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2000's critically acclaimed, RIAA double platinum certified "DOUBLE WIDE" and the Top-3 crossover pop smash, "Follow Me." "NO STRANGER TO SHAME" sees Detroit's favorite Uncle continuing to mine his own special blend of down-home soul, funky, groove-tinged hip-hop, and hard-driving rock n' roll.
		Though Kid Rock had previously played a role in the writing/production of Kracker's first album (and, of course, Kracker played an equally significant role in Kid Rock's enormous success, co-writing some of his biggest hits), on his new record, "NO STRANGER TO SHAME," Kracker holds the creative reins.
		The success of "DOUBLE WIDE" was a source of real excitement for Uncle Kracker, though he admits to suffering a bit of the been there-done thats, having just enjoyed a number of similar experiences as part of Kid Rock's band.

		And while the music itself is fun and slick, one is left with the feeling that this guy may have had quite a different sound if not for his brilliant mentor guiding the way.
		Sadly, I fear that the calculating man is not Uncle Kracker.
		Kracker’s classic rock influences can certainly be found here, but we always come back to moments like the chorus on “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,” where your jaw drops and you’re suddenly sure your CD player has somehow skipped to a new Kid Rock disc.

	Tower Records - No Stranger To Shame [Explicit Lyrics] - Uncle Kracker
		Kid Rock pal Uncle Kracker (A.K.A. Matt Shafer) may have arrived as yet another white guy fishing off the pier of rap-rock, but it was the sweetly sung smash "Follow Me" off his debut DOUBLE WIDE that put this Michigan native over the top.
		With his sophomore bow NO STRANGER TO SHAME, Uncle Kracker keeps hip-hop in the mix, but his main thrust is tapping into the rich musical legacy found south of the Mason-Dixon line.
		Kracker pumps plenty of Stax-flavored horns into the soulful "I Do." With crunchy guitar, turntable scratching, and an aggressive flow in "Keep It Comin'" making sure the hick-hop faithful return, cuts like the swamp-rock vibe of "Thunderhead Hawkins" and rap-like sing-a-long title track (featuring Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath) ensure they'll stick around.
