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". The album's sixth track "Back to the Otherside" and tenth and final track "Grandpa's Jam" feature a return to the rapping vocals of Rock's earlier work.
Sweet Southern Sugar debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 and number four on the US Billboard Top Country Albums with 43,000 album-equivalent units, with almost all of that figure (41,000) coming from pure album sales.[10] It has sold 184,600 copies in the United States as of April 2019.[11]
