A biography for Uncle Krackerhasn’t been written yet.
“My immediate family, they would never have picked up a Kenny Chesney record had I not went in and did it with him.”
“I'm a songwriter, and if it wasn't for country radio, I really wouldn't have many other outlets.”
“Smile's' definitely got that AM '70s vibe. It's just a fun, upbeat, positive song.”
“I'm a little more laid back when it comes to writing. I don't like to do scheduled writing-type stuff. However, I've written quite a few things in Nashville and I love the guys I've written with. They're great talented people but I like to be on a little more relaxed schedule than that.”
“Yeah, I work best on the fly.”
“I love good pop songs.”
“My mom listened to all that AM-'70s stuff, and my old man listened to a lot of country and Motown and doo-wop.”
“I was accident prone as a kid, so I have scars everywhere.”
“There are literally hundreds of Kid Rock songs that probably won't ever see the light of day.”
“I hate bells and whistles. I like songs.”
“In a Little While' is about the one that got away. Everybody's got one that got away. I know I have one that got away.”
“I grew up pumpin' gas.”
“When I'm up onstage, I don't feel removed from the people coming to hear the music. You can feel it, when they identify with you. Sometimes when I'm up there, I want to tell 'em 'I'm not any different than you are.'”
“My dad listened to George Jones and Hank Williams, and of course all the Motown stuff was unavoidable.”
“Kid Rock and I talk every other day.”
“I can't go back to Detroit and find the things to do that I can find in Nashville to do. You go down to a corner bar and watch a singer/songwriter every hour on the hour, every night of the week. And the town is full of other musicians and artists that are just creeping around and trying to find something to do and have fun.”
“I could care less what people think or say and do.”
“I like to do those hum-along songs.”
“The only thing that kept me out of college was high school.”
“I like a good jingle, something vibe-y, something to sing along to.”
