Sweet Southern Sugar

Sweet Southern Sugar is the eleventh studio album by American recording artist Kid Rock. It was released on November 3, 2017, by Broken Bow Records,[2] Top Dog Records and BMG Rights Management.[4][5] The album spawned four singles: "Po-Dunk", "Greatest Show on Earth", "Tennessee Mountain Top", and "American Rock 'n Roll", along with their music videos.[6] Its lead single, "Po-Dunk", peaked at number 27 on the Hot Country Songs.[7] "Greatest Show on Earth" peaked at number 16 on the Mainstream Rock chart[8] and it was used as the main theme for WWE pay-per-view Survivor Series (2017). "Tennessee Mountain Top" peaked at number 36 on the Hot Country Songs.[9] Sweet Southern Sugar is Kid Rock's first album since his self-titled 2003 album not to feature a title track, though the album's name comes from a lyric in "Tennessee Mountain Top". The album also features a cover of the Four Tops song "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)", titled "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch". "Grandpa's Jam" features a return to the rapping vocals of Rock's earlier work.
