Abstract: Kerr-Schild metrics have been introduced as a linear superposition of the flat spacetime metric and a squared null vector field, say $$, multiplied by some scalar function, say $H$. The basic assumption which led to Kerr solution was that $$ be both geodesic and shearfree. This condition is relaxed here and Kerr-Schild ansatz is revised by treating Kerr-Schild metrics as {it exact linear perturbations} of Minkowski spacetime. The scalar function $H$ is taken as the perturbing function, so that Einstein's field equations are solved order by order in powers of $H$. It turns out that the congruence must be geodesic and shearfree as a consequence of third and second order equations, leading to an alternative derivation of Kerr solution.
