Kid Rock stitched "All Summer Long" together out of two samples, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" and Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London", and in 2008 it became the third single pulled from Rock n Roll Jesus, his seventh album. He wrote it with Uncle Kracker and produced it himself with Rob Cavallo as co-producer; Marlon Young plays guitar, Aaron Julison bass and Billy Powell piano, and Thornetta Davis, Andre Jones and Barbara Payton sing backup.
It's a sun-bleached singalong, and it traveled: number one in Australia and six European countries, the UK among them, while at home it crossed over to country radio and handed him his first top-10 country hit. He played it in medleys at the 2009 Grammy Awards and at WrestleMania 25, took it around Europe at the MTV Europe Music Awards and the World Music Awards, and it led to his VH1 Storytellers special in November 2008.
