He has sold over 35 million records worldwide.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.Rocks follow-up records became more rock-, country-, and blues-oriented, starting with 2001s 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. After 2003s Kid Rock and 2006s 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. 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 Lets Ride. The album was certified gold in April 2013. Kid Rock released First Kiss on February 24, 2015 behind the hit title track.
