Kid Rock and Grand Funk Railroad

Detroit-born Kid Rock is a platinum-selling country rap-rocker known for hits like "Bawitdaba," "Cowboy," and "All Summer Long." He shot to fame with his 1998 album Devil Without a Cause, which went seven-times-platinum. With a style that blends rock, hip hop, country, and heavy metal, Rock has collaborated with legends like Sheryl Crow, Bob Seger, and Martina McBride. Notable albums include Cocky, Rock N Roll Jesus, and Sweet Southern Sugar. His energetic persona and knack for genre-blurring have made him a standout in the music industry.

Grand Funk Railroad, formed in Flint, MI, by Mark Farner and Don Brewer, is known for its blues-rock sound and energetic live shows. Despite critical pans, they gained a devoted fan base through constant touring. Key albums like "We're an American Band" and hits like "The Loco-Motion" defined their peak years. Collaborations with Todd Rundgren and Frank Zappa marked their style. Although disbanded and reformed multiple times, their legacy continues, highlighted by a benefit album, "Bosnia," and a retrospective box set, "Thirty Years of Funk: 1969-1999."
