Andre N. Jones speaks!
In an interesting twist to the mystery of who sings background vocals on Kid Rock’s All Summer Long, we received a comment from Andre N. Jones indicating a case of mistaken identity.On 09.17.08 andre wrote these pithy words:
Hey everybody,
I’m as shocked as everybody else! Although the background vocalist on the song has the same name as I, those vocals are not me. I wish I could claim that it was but it’s not. Thanks guys.
-DreWhat have we done? The biggest mistake has been made… and the search to identify the other Andre Jones, the person credited with singing background vocals on All Summer Long, continues.
But, mistake or no, we’re glad we had the chance to become more familiar with Andre N. Jones, A.K.A. Drizzrod, a spoken word musician who has a style all his own. He was good enough to answer a few questions for us.
SONGSPEAK: Being a prolific poet and spoken word artist, it must have surprised you to see that others mistakenly credit you for singing background vocals on Kid Rock’s All Summer Long.
ANDRE: It surely did surprise me but it was also very humbling. I mean, Kid Rock is a major act. I’d love to work with him…Tags: all summer long, andre n. jones, background vocals, clearchannel, delaware, drizzrod, hip-hop, kid rock, mistaken identity, new punisher movie, new.com, philadelphia, poet, punisher, punisher movie, rap, spoken word artist, verbal light, war zone

Who sings background vocals on Kid Rock’s All Summer Long?
As we at Songspeak recently learned, it’s Andre N. Jones a.k.a. Drizzrod who sings the backup on Kid Rock’s song, All Summer Long, which samples Lynryd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama as well as Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London.
From Andre’s bio:
Andre’s style is a Gumbo. A Stew that combines Spoken Word with hip hop, Gospel, Funk and R&B. The effort is intended to probe important issues of current times while remaining musically entertaining.Kind of weird that SO MANY PEOPLE thought that it was Bob Seger. We were definitely fooled here at Songspeak.
