I like to listen to Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie. He is an American singer/rapper born in 1971.
I love Kid Rock. Only God Knows Why is one of my favorite songs ever!
That's a great song. My favorite album is "Devil Without a Cause" which was his 4th. There are some great songs on there.
Yes! That album is classic! What year did that come out again?
It was released in 1998 and incorporated rap, country, and hard rock in his style. "Bawitdaba" became very popular on radio stations.
Wow, doesn't seem that long ago. Music was so much better then. I remember that song well!!
The songwriting process was guided by the new melodic sensibility created by the introduction of turntablist Uncle Kracker into Kid Rock's band, Twisted Brown Trucker; Kid Rock sought to record a "rock and roll rap" album. "Devil Without a Cause" was a major commercial success. Spurred by the popularity of the single "Bawitdaba", the album sold 14 million copies, and was certified platinum 11 times. The album also received critical acclaim for its genre-mixing sound.
Background.
In 1997,
Only God Knows Why
"Only God Knows Why" is a song by American musician Kid Rock. It was recorded in 1998 for his album "Devil Without a Cause", on which it features as the eleventh track. The song was the first recorded ballad on record by Kid Rock. It was a weary road ballad in which the first four lines were written while he was in jail after a bar fight after signing to Atlantic Records in 1997. It is notable for its heavy use of Auto-Tune.
