Kid Rock doesn’t need to yell “what’s my name” anymore… we know.

We also know he’s an artist coming off an incredible summer with his album “Rock and Roll Jesus” climbing the charts, and he seems to be on a constant tour. So, let’s just say he’s not the easiest one to catch up with — but we finally did! (many thanks to his great publicity team!)

I can brag that I was probably well qualified for this interview being familiar with his music since my brother blasted it from across the hall (date omitted) but let’s just say a long time ago.  So with his gold shades in tact and as laid-back “rocker-cool” as you’d expect, i jumped right in to talk about his tour and album plans and his famous live show (he runs around the stage playing every instrument and now… every genre!)  Plus, we got into how he fits right into the country world and Nashville scene (although still very loyal to Detroit!).  And on a side-note, I’ve been hearing the past couple days about some impromptu shows he gave at downtown bars. So yeah, I’d say he’s right at home here!

Time to say goodbye to music city, but what a sweet note to end on right?
Rock on.
