MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) – Screeching guitars, thumping beats, barely dressed women and even an R-rated version of “Frosty the Snowman.”

Only Kid Rock could put on a Christmas show like this.

The Detroit-based rap-rocker taped a concert Tuesday night for a 90-minute holiday-themed television special.

“A Kid Rock Christmas,” to air Dec. 14 on VH1, will include clips from Tuesday’s show, an animated short that features Kid Rock doing his own version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and a video excerpts of him eating Christmas dinner with his family and friends.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, treated fans at the Emerald Theatre to several songs from his new album, which will be released next week. Among them was the first single, a cover of Bad Company’s 1975 hit, “Feel Like Makin’ Love.”

Wearing a white sleeveless undershirt, black jeans and his signature black hat, Kid Rock early in the evening sang a verse that said it all: “I’m a long-haired, redneck, rock-n-roll son of Detroit.”

He said the night was his “way of saying, ‘thank you,’ to the great people of Michigan for supporting me all of these years.”
