This was the album that made him. I knew Rob since he was doing small shows in Detroit at the state theater and selling his demos out of his car. But this is old Kid.
"'Roll On" is a good one by him to show off his vocals..."All Summer Long" is a good-feel nostalgia one and "Cowboy" goes back to his fur -wearing days and a good jam! Rock On!
Saw him live 16 17 yrs ago his show was awesome one of the best ever seen and I was in my late 40s at the time but my hubby is 7 years younger still love him and we listen to all his stuff all the time....😊
He was the first one to use autotune as an effect, most people think it was Cher's "Believe" but this song came first. You would love this song performed live with Jamey Johnson, he uses a guitar talkbox to get a similar effect on his voice when he sings, it sounds so much better than "autotune".
I always though the auto tune was him speaking to himself in his head as it adds a bit of echo. I believe it was only used as a tool by a great artist .
Saw him at a country Music Fest AND with Bob Seger. Both were epic concerts IMO, seeing Bob Seger jamming and singing Bawitdaba with Kid Rock was unforgettable.
@@tbrown9491 I was at that show when opened for Bob Seger. Also saw him for the opening inaugural show at L. S. A. Saw him one other time at Pine Knob when ZZ Top played and they told the crowd they were hanging out with a local boy and brought him on stage for a song.
Blue Jean's and a rosary is a must my friend and probably my favorite song.I loved old Kid Rock but I love newer Kid Rock just as much if not more ❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
@@riveredflush Maybe. But with "Cowboy", it was mainstream/radio success. I know that personally, I had never heard "Bawitaba" until I bought the album which was after "Cowboy" went big. I guess it all depends on what you were paying attention to. I was pretty "Normie" back then! 🤣
It was this one album went from 2 million to 7 million once released the Views way higher on here then Bawitdaba and Cowboy they have more Streams though.
Kid Rock released this song in Oct 1999 and Joe C passed away in Nov 16, 2000 at the age of 26. Joe Calleja died in his sleep at his parents' home in Taylor, Michigan, from complications from celiac disease. His death was determined to be from natural causes. Kid Rock was crushed and heartbroken. This is a Great song!!!
Kid Rock is such a good rabbit hole to go down. He touches so many genres. He has so many good songs that weren’t big but are fantastic songs (Care, Purple Sky, Born Free). All Summer Long, and American Bad Ass are absolute jams.
Kid Rock sings with his heart, writes lyrics to masterpieces, speaks what’s on his mind, calls a spade a spade, but deep down he is one humble dude. Seen him in concert many times and he Rocks the house down. Every time.
I recommend Blue Jeans and Rosary, Born Free, and Johnny Cash. I’ve really gotten to know more about Kid Rock and his music is so diverse. One song he’s rapping. Another a duet with some pretty amazing women, and another with a steel guitar and violins. ❤
Kid was actually from a middle class family in Michigan. He would hang out in the ghetto & didn't want them to know. They would say where's that kid that's always singing rock? lol Hence the name Kid Rock! He said he was acting poor, but his dad would be picking him up to go to the orthodontist! lol Ya, sometimes he comes home to Michigan & we catch him on the lake! I think that's where his All Summer Long came from!
Try Alice In Chains Don’t Follow, Nutshell, Brother, Heaven beside You, etc. Those are some of their more mellow songs. I bet you’d love every one of those songs. I love their heavy and mellow songs but they have a range from down and out to absolutely crazy heavy grunge rock.
Interesting note, at a kid rock show he will sing, dance, and carry on like a true rock star. He will also take over the drums for a solo, take over the keyboard, the bass, the guitar, and the turntables, all for solos giving his band a break one at a time. The energy of a kid rock show is off the charts.
Man, I remember seeing him do that in 2000 on the Summer Sanitarium tour at Mile High Stadium. Between that, the girls on the sides of the stage, Joe C...I thought his set was better than Metallica's. glad to see he still does that.
Kid was on an awards show (early on). The producer kept reiterating that they had to be careful of the baby grand on the stage. He REALLY REALLY REITERATED to kid. That piano was “worth a fortune!” In rehearsal, all was fine. Then came the LIVE SHOW. The camera was following him and continued to the rehearsed positions. But kid was mad. He jumped up on that piano and jumped up and down repeatedly. The camera kind of jerked from where they expected him to be to ON the piano.
Seen kid rock at HOB in nola when Joe C was still alive,he opened for monster magnet. Kid killed it! Most of this video was shot in my home town New Orleans. Great reaction
“Take me to the River!” Is like him saying he wants a new life, in a way a baptism. When I was listening to this back in the day.. I never understood it. I was partying way too much to pay attention to lyrics. 🤦♀️ Thx I enjoyed this.👍
This was in 1998 and released a week prior to Cher’s Believe which is said to be the first hit song to use Auto-Tune so I’m guessing Antares Auto-Tune which was released in September of 1997 was first being discovered and utilized
His dad had car dealerships in metro Detroit called Bill Ritchie. He born in Romeo Michigan. And went to Romeo High School. His younger sister, Jill Ritchie, is an actress.
Always good to see Don's hansome face! 😊 This is one of my favorite Kid Rock songs!! Definitely takes me back! ❤ Since u mentioned having been on tour and doing roadie work, please, please, please check out The load out/Stay by Jackson Browne!! U will relate 💯, and it will instantly go on your classic forever playlist!!
I felt like this might have been the first song I heard from Kid Rock back in the day. It turns out the entire Devil without a cause album dropped in 98. That entire album was on high rotation every day when it came out. American bad ass!! ✌️🗽🇺🇸💪👊🇺🇸 That album needs a revival fr!
Kid Rock is the best concert I’ve ever been to. I’ve seen him 4x and he never disappoints!! This was his 2nd album Devil Without A Cause. This album made him blow up. This was the 1st concert I seen him live. He was practically giving tickets away it was Bogo and the tickets were only $20 per person!! I can’t wait to see him in concert again!!
This song and Pictures with Sheryl Crow are my favorite songs by The Kid. He has a lot of versatility. Seems like most people don't give him credit. I think the voice shift was a planned effect ,kind of like what Cher did with 'Believe".
Amen is my favorite song by him. In fact, the whole "Rock & Roll Jesus" album is fire. Roll On is a great song about growing older and reminiscing on his youth.
I grew up in Mt Clemens and a girl I worked with was dating him.. Lorelai with green eyes and nice "lungs"...she gave me a flyer for his show at a house party. he played in shady side park neighborhood ....i saw him there and did not like the music one bit, but the people did, at the time it was all rap. I was dragged to a show at pine knob about 10 years after that and was blown away!!! he did it all. he even played a deep purple song!!!
This song gives me chills every time I hear it, Kid and Jamey Johnson do a live version duet that really, really gets me! I can’t describe it, but if it hits you, you know.
Kids guitarist in the dY was Kenny Olson. Kenny knew the guys from a friend of mines local band up in Traverse City, MI. he would sometimes jam with them when in town. One of the greatest days in my life I got to jam with them. Shoutout to Kenny!
His first album was in 1990 his big song on it was yodeling in the valley. Very very very young kid rock
Saw him live in Baghdad! He came for us in that shit hole... Much respect... forever!

I love Kid Rock❤️❤️❤️
So do i love him for what he stands for. Amazing man❤❤❤❤❤
Kid Rock concert is the best concert I’ve ever been to. He can still rock at 53
Love this song, the message, meaning. It's amazing. The song was out in 1998.
❤ I've seen Kid Rock in concert, that man is hella talented, he can play all the instruments, sing, rap, what ever he wants to do, He does it!!❤❤❤❤
This was the album that made him. I knew Rob since he was doing small shows in Detroit at the state theater and selling his demos out of his car. But this is old Kid.
"'Roll On" is a good one by him to show off his vocals..."All Summer Long" is a good-feel nostalgia one and "Cowboy" goes back to his fur -wearing days and a good jam! Rock On!
Agree!! Also Blue Jeans and a Rosery is a good one too!!!
Roll on is an incredible song.
Yes
Yeah roll on is feat. Yellowwolf.
Love this song and love Kid Rock 🙏❤️🔥
He's awesome in concert!! 💗💗💗
I love this song by Kid Rock, it sounds personal to me.❤🙏🏻❤️🥰
Saw him live 16 17 yrs ago his show was awesome one of the best ever seen and I was in my late 40s at the time but my hubby is 7 years younger still love him and we listen to all his stuff all the time....😊

Kid Rock puts on one of the best live shows u will ever see
Facts
❤❤❤ loved this song many moons ago and still do.
I am becoming more of a fan over the years. He is so good and so charismatic.
I've seen him 3 times in concert and he is definitely the best entertainer I've seen. Would definitely see him again if he comes around my area again.
10:14 - Man, I'm so happy you recognized Hank Williams Jr.!
Yes!!! So happy you are doing this one! My all time favorite Kid Rock song!
Kid Rock has been thru it, all the more reason to give him props for his accomplishments!
I am wishing for a Kid Rock, Tom MacDonald and Nova banger 💯
What a trio that would be 🔥🔥🔥
Blue Jeans And A Rosary, and All Summer Long are 2 must listen to songs.
I saw him play before the Kentucky Derby many years ago. He can sing. Was a very down to Earth guy and not pretentious at all. Talked to everyone
My favorite Kid Rock song
I freakin love Kid Rock & his drummer Stephanie. ♥
"Lonely road of faith" is my personal favorite!!!!!!
I always though the auto tune was him speaking to himself in his head as it adds a bit of echo. I believe it was only used as a tool by a great artist .
Exactly 💯
If ever ever ever have a chance to see him live you will not be disappointed. He puts on a AWESOME show....
For real! Hell of a performer
I agree as well. First time I seen him wasn’t the biggest fan of his. After that show I was a fan. Plays all kinds of instruments.
Saw him at a country Music Fest AND with Bob Seger. Both were epic concerts IMO, seeing Bob Seger jamming and singing Bawitdaba with Kid Rock was unforgettable.
I’ve seen him 3 times and other than Eminem, he puts on the best live show I’ve ever seen!!!
@@tbrown9491 I was at that show when opened for Bob Seger. Also saw him for the opening inaugural show at L. S. A. Saw him one other time at Pine Knob when ZZ Top played and they told the crowd they were hanging out with a local boy and brought him on stage for a song.
I hiiiiiiighly recommend Kid Rock's song 'Lonely Road Of Faith'...really shows off his natural vocals in that one!
Blue Jean's and a rosary is a must my friend and probably my favorite song.I loved old Kid Rock but I love newer Kid Rock just as much if not more ❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Yes, amazing song
I love that song!
❤
Yassss🙌
Went to a Kid Rock/Hank Jr concert in 2020. It was freakin awesome.
Deep thoughts provoking song ❤just beautiful.love to sit down the beach and listen too this 🙏💞
Kid rock is the bomb 💣 ! Alabama ❤s Kid Rock !
Kid Rock is so talented. Best concert I have ever seen. Listen to Run Off To LA..
I LOVE this song so much. This was on my "smokin'" playlist back in the day. 😉
But "Cowboy" is quintessential Kid Rock. It's the song that blew him up
I think Bawitdaba put him on the map, especially after it was the theme song for "The Shield."
@@riveredflush Maybe. But with "Cowboy", it was mainstream/radio success. I know that personally, I had never heard "Bawitaba" until I bought the album which was after "Cowboy" went big.

It was this one album went from 2 million to 7 million once released the Views way higher on here then Bawitdaba and Cowboy they have more Streams though.
I love this song. I also love "First Kiss" by Kid Rock. I've seen his live a couple times, and he definitely can sing.
Kid Rock released this song in Oct 1999 and Joe C passed away in Nov 16, 2000 at the age of 26. Joe Calleja died in his sleep at his parents' home in Taylor, Michigan, from complications from celiac disease. His death was determined to be from natural causes.

You should definitely listen the The Mirror. By kid rock
Same as Bawitdaba, this was from 1998's "Devil Without a Cause" album.
even thinking about that album gives me goosebumps.
It's where "Cowboy" is from too. As well as a song he did with Eminem, "F*ck Off."
This is my favorite song by him. It’s just pure 🔥❤️
Kid Rock is such a good rabbit hole to go down. He touches so many genres. He has so many good songs that weren’t big but are fantastic songs (Care, Purple Sky, Born Free). All Summer Long, and American Bad Ass are absolute jams.
I love Kid Rock, his music from long ago still stands the crest of time. 🫶
Danzig ... Mother and faith no more .. Epic👍👍
Kid Rock sings with his heart, writes lyrics to masterpieces, speaks what’s on his mind, calls a spade a spade, but deep down he is one humble dude. Seen him in concert many times and he Rocks the house down. Every time.
I’m crushing on kid rock
Love this song! Also his live performances are amazing. Great reaction. .
He's always had a good band too, they're musicians and their very versatile.
I recommend Blue Jeans and Rosary, Born Free, and Johnny Cash. I’ve really gotten to know more about Kid Rock and his music is so diverse. One song he’s rapping. Another a duet with some pretty amazing women, and another with a steel guitar and violins. ❤
You will not be disappointed with Lonely Road of Faith by Kid Rock.
Kid Rock and Hank Williams jr doing Family Tradition is pretty good
I love kid rock he whips it out there that's the whole purpose of song to get into the motion of song then it's a impact woo its a yes
Kid Rock is and was awesome
I'm 71 and he stirs something in me 😅❤
Kid was actually from a middle class family in Michigan. He would hang out in the ghetto & didn't want them to know. They would say where's that kid that's always singing rock? lol Hence the name Kid Rock! He said he was acting poor, but his dad would be picking him up to go to the orthodontist! lol Ya, sometimes he comes home to Michigan & we catch him on the lake! I think that's where his All Summer Long came from!
Favorite kid rock song!!!!
I met Kid in 2004. He signed the 1st Rolling Stones cover he was on. I also got a picture taken with both of us. He is humble and very friendly.
My mama, and I never thought it would happen, cranks Kid when he's on. I love it
Kid Rock has been in movies. One in particular was Joe Dirt and he was hilarious
Yes he was fkn great in Joe Dirt 💯
You crying boy? LOL
Kid rock: all summer long 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love my Kid Rock!!!!!!! Have seen him so mamy times!!! He is absolutely amazing❤❤
Love this song by kid rock 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
Picture was the first time I ever heard his singing voice. I love it. I was hooked. Totally agree with you about the auto tune.
I’m a huge Kid fan!!! I love his pre country stuff better, but huge fan! His first 3 albums are on loop. 😂
Congratulations and God bless your family and the new addition of your son.❤❤
IT'S amazing!!!!! Love me some Kid Rock.... DETROIT, MICHIGAN.👈🇺🇸

He blew me away when he got up there on the drums...I had no idea. Awesome show!! 🔥
Man, I remember seeing him do that in 2000 on the Summer Sanitarium tour at Mile High Stadium. Between that, the girls on the sides of the stage, Joe C...I thought his set was better than Metallica's. glad to see he still does that.
Amen is one of my favorites off of his Rock-n-Roll Jesus album. Actually that album is what really turned me on to his music.
Watch Kid Rock come out in Woodstock 99 with the fur coat and leather pants!!!! Fiiiiiiiire!!!!
Kid was on an awards show (early on). The producer kept reiterating that they had to be careful of the baby grand on the stage. He REALLY REALLY REITERATED to kid.

Kid Rock is awesome as an artist but more importantly, he is a great human!!
🤣
No he's not anymore. He done changed and went to " da club."
🤣😅😂
😅
He is a terrific human being.
You want to see the best live show ever, go to a Kid Rock show. High energy from start to finish!! He even spins the turntable.
Kid is and always a great patriot 🇺🇸
As Michigan Grandma, i love Kid Rock
“Take me to the River!” Is like him saying he wants a new life, in a way a baptism. When I was listening to this back in the day.. I never understood it. I was partying way too much to pay attention to lyrics. 🤦♀️ Thx I enjoyed this.👍

That's exactly what I was going to say. This was the dawn of auto-tune and all artists were playing with it in their music.
His dad had car dealerships in metro Detroit called Bill Ritchie. He born in Romeo Michigan. And went to Romeo High School. His younger sister, Jill Ritchie, is an actress.
Also hell of a live show,especially if you can see him in his home town of Michigan. Pine knob, LCA, wherever but he always delivers in his hometown!
Always good to see Don's hansome face! 😊 This is one of my favorite Kid Rock songs!! Definitely takes me back! ❤ Since u mentioned having been on tour and doing roadie work, please, please, please check out The load out/Stay by Jackson Browne!!

The auto tune was just an effect for the song. He definitely doesn’t need it because that fool CAN sing
And play several different instruments too.
FACTS! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
He was definitely one of the best concerts I’ve been to .
The "vocal effects" are intentional 😂
Thank you! That's exactly why He did that in this song .
This was the song that made me a fan

Hell yeah, that man can sing
Lonely Road of Faith & Cold & Empty are good songs to follow up this one from Kid Rock
recently saw Kid Rock at the Rock the Country tour. You definitely need to see him live... Hell of a show!!!
Another great song by Kid Rock ❤
You gotta watch ALL SUMMER LONG!!! U WILL LOVEEEEE IT
One my favorites of his hits home
I've seen him twice in concert. He puts on a hell of a show
He did the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin. You saw Heart do Stairway to Heaven at that show. He sang Rock and Roll. Killed it
You are 100% right. He is a true rock star ⭐️
Kids guitarist in the dY was Kenny Olson. Kenny knew the guys from a friend of mines local band up in Traverse City, MI. he would sometimes jam with them when in town. One of the greatest days in my life I got to jam with them. Shoutout to Kenny!
I love this song!!!!
Yes, many people say they dont like the autotune. Right on.✌❤
" Lonely Road Of Faith " is a complete banger ❤
