Uncle Kracker might have rap-rock numbskull Kid Rock to thank for putting him on the map, but with the release of his solid sophomore set, the Michigan mauler can stand up and take a bow. For not only is Uncle Kracker the most Southern-sounding musician ever to emerge from the edge of the Great Lakes, he's also one of the most versatile. As such, No Stranger to Shame is by turns country, rock, soul, blues, and sometimes a vigorous mix of the lot. The horn-section-goosing opening track "I Do" is pure Stax with a little '70s-era thwacketa-thwacketa guitar menace; "Thunderhead Hawkins," with its drawling vocals and slide guitar, is pure Arkansas front-porch boogaloo; "Memphis Soul Song" is just that; "To Think I Used to Love You" could have been torn from the Merle Haggard songbook; and "Keep It Comin'" is fierce hip-hop. A ballad, "Letter to My Daughters," is sweet if unnervingly sappy (think Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses"), while Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath adds negligible freight to the title track. But No Stranger to Shame's finest moment is a borrowed one--a faithful cover of Dobie Gray's inspirational rock & roll love letter, "Drift Away." An underappreciated classic from the early '70s, "Drift Away" still sounds relevant, and Kracker's soulful version--featuring Gray himself--will do much to spotlight that comforting old chestnut. --Kim Hughes

5 out of 5 stars No Stranger to Shame.......2007-02-02

I was very pleased with the prompt delivery of the CD I ordered.

2 out of 5 stars Stop making music you piggy-backing tonedeaf wonder.......2006-02-02

Listen to this CD, then listen to anything off "Double-Wide". Notice anything new? Didn't think so.

Yes, the Unc has a good sense of tone and his rhythms evoke the roots of folk, country and R&B simultaneously, for which something must be said. That something comprise my two stars.

In fact, he'd be wonderful if he'd just stop singing.

Indeed, he gets no reward for badgering my aural nerves with "Memphis Soul Song." This annoying detritus is a lot like the movie adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" in that there are so many places it could, and should, end. But NO, it drags on... and on... and ON!

And please, enough with the "Sophisticated Country Boy" routine. Kid Rock tried that, had his moments, and now where is the Kid? He's making the cover of the Onion. That's not necessarily a good career move.

1 out of 5 stars Only one good song..........2005-11-16

There is only one good song on the C.D.! Don't get it, it is a waste of money.

4 out of 5 stars Easily flowing between rock, soul, funk, C&W and rap..........2004-12-04

This is an excellent album. Who would have thought that Kid Rock's turntabilist could put out such a solid effort? This album is very diverse, easily flowing between rock, soul, funk, C&W and rap. He has a nice voice, very reminiscent of John Melloncamp. He even does a duet with Dobie Gray on the classic Drift Away.

5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars.....Kracker's 2nd album........2004-06-29

Though very, very different from Kracker Double Wide album, i Still Give it 5 stars. This is not hip-hop like Double wide. this is straight memphis soul, Oldies Rock and Country. The Only Rap is the first and last songs. Theres A Bonus track Called AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL.

Best song is THUNDERHEAD HAWKINS.

I HIGHLY Recomend this cd to any music lover of any kind. This cd has something for everyone. #1 and #12 are rapish, #2-#11 are country and every song as some mix of rock. VERY VERY GOOD!

1 out of 5 stars get the explicit.......2003-10-27

get the explicit because,theres hardly any swearing in it except for the hidden track, which itself is not really all that bad,and theres one more swear in "Letter To My Daughters" its
"Egos and a**holes are part of my deal" and thats it. So just by the the explicit version cause its not really different.

5 out of 5 stars this CD ROX!.......2003-08-03

I am 10 years old and my Dad and I both love this CD all the way through. Uncle K's version of Drift Away makes my Dad sing too loud. My highlights of the CD are Drift Away, In a Little While, Letter to my Daughters and No Stranger to Shame, but the entire CD is wonderful!!

5 out of 5 stars Kracker at his best!!!!!.......2003-07-10

This cd ROCKS!!!!! My favorite song is Drift Away. If you like Kid Rock, get Double Wide. If you just like Uncle Kracker, definately get this cd!!!!!!!!!!
