Vinyl Frontier

On today's Vinyl Frontier, it's from an artist who blew up in the late 90s. Kid Rock played around the Detroit area for a few years before Devil Without A Cause changed his life forever. I just saw him in concert a couple weeks back and these classics still sound fresh played live.

A quick story from this time period. The summer of 1999 I was at my in-laws cottage in Houghton Lake. Around 7pm, I took the mini bike out for a little putt through the woods. About 10 minutes into my ride, the thing broke down. I was pretty far away from the house and reluctantly started pushing it back. Literally a minute into my walk, I could not believe my luck when a truck full of kids came barreling around the corner. They offered to load up the motorcycle and give me a lift back. While we were heading back, they were cranking DWAC. To repay them for the ride, I got some autographed Kid Rock posters and whatnot, and mailed it up to them.

Happy Birthday to this album, which turns 24 on August 18th.

Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history. Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
