In an epic blast from the past, the spunky Kid Rock called on fellow singer boy Jamey Johnson for a chilling duet to the rockstar’s past hit “Only God Knows Why”. 

Having no shortage of wild experiences on his 2011 Born Free Tour, Rock addressed his audience before introducing his guests. “And also joining us, my Alabama partner in crime, please welcome back Jamey Johnson,” Rock spoke. The crowd erupted into cheers as Johnson made his entrance from the back of the stage, wasting no time as he jumped into their performance. 

“I’ve been sittin’ here trying to find myself/ I get behind myself I need to rewind myself/ Looking for the payback listening for the playback/ They say that every man bleeds just like me,” Johnson crooned, giving Rock his cue to continue the number.

While the rockstar released the original ballad in 1998 on his album Devil Without A Cause, it was the passionate duet that had fans brimming with emotion. You can’t go wrong when you blend two stellar sets of musical gifts to create the ultimate performance. Be sure to check it out below!
