 (3 Customer Reviews)
Kid Rock plays the Dr. Dre role as his protege Uncle Kracker is unleashed upon the music world with DOUBLE WIDE. The album opens with a skit in which Rock gives career and "health" advice to a seemingly humble Uncle Kracker, and melts into a world of live instrumentation, old school hip-hop rhyming, and very hot beats.
"Better Days" has Uncle Cracker doing his best ZZ Top/Billy Gibbons, with bluesy, gravelly vocalizing. "Follow Me" has a neo-funky shuffle that evokes bands such as The Getaway People and The Push Stars, while "Heaven" mixes East Coast-inspired beats with a country-flavored chorus that's catchy as hell. "Steaks & Shrimp" offers old-school posturing and rhyming while "Who's Your Uncle?" is surely Uncle Cracker's "Bawitdaba," and his mission statement of domination is clear. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" features instantly likeable pop choruses and "Aces & 8's" oddly combines techno influences with a C&W flavor. DOUBLE WIDE will most likely take Uncle Cracker from the trailer park to the big stages.

Nuthin But Class
Uncle Kracker dominates on the two turntables and the mic. His Kid Rock style is shown in his vocals and music. Every track shows his skills, no filler tunes here. Uncle Kracker is not a two track man.

| | Kid Rock Cocky CD (2001)
Double Wide music CDs
$11.15 
Kid Rock's unique blend of Midwestern rock & roll, rap, and R&B gets another airing with COCKY, which features a plethora of road tunes, who's-the-baddest cuts, and straight-ahead drinking songs. The slow, greasy grooves of "You Never Met a Motherf**cker Quite Like Me" contrast violently with the Detroit Rock City raunch of "I'm a Dog," which itself stands in stark contrast to the first half of "Midnight Train to Memphis," an atypical, steel guitar-accompanied ballad.
You don't come to Kid Rock for subtlety (the last cut, WCSR, featuring Snoop Dogg, is proof of that). He's a Midwestern rapper who wishes he was in Lynyrd Skynrd--and who could ...
| | Uncle Kracker No Stranger To Shame CD (2002)
Double Wide songs
$5.95
Contains an untitled hidden track after "No Stranger To Shame."
Kid Rock pal Uncle Kracker (A.K.A. Matt Shafer) may have arrived as yet another white guy fishing off the pier of rap-rock, but it was the sweetly sung smash "Follow Me" off his debut DOUBLE WIDE that put this Michigan native over the top. With his sophomore bow NO STRANGER TO SHAME, Uncle Kracker keeps hip-hop in the mix, but his main thrust is tapping into the rich musical legacy found south of the Mason-Dixon line. Beyond a solid cover of the '70s nugget "Drift Away," (featuring a cameo by its originator Dobie Gray), Shafer's love of country, soul, and blues reverberates throughout. When he's not pouring on the cornpone all over the David Allen Coe-co-written "Letter To My Daughters" or making like Waylon Jennings on the twang-fest "To Think I Used To Love You," Mr. Kracker pumps plenty of Stax-flavored horns into the soulful "I Do." With crunchy guitar, turntable scratching, and an aggressive flow in "Keep It Comin'" making sure the hick-hop faithful return, cuts like ...
| | Very Best Of John Michael Montgomery CD (2003)
Double Wide album
$10.29
Recorded between 1992 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Robert K. Oermann.
Though he has always essentially been a new traditionalist country singer in the vein of Aaron Tippin and George Strait, John Michael Montgomery found his greatest success with smooth, romantic ballads that recall the work of Glenn Frey as much as that of Merle Haggard. THE VERY BEST OF JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY lives up to its title by including most of the singer's finest and highest-charting singles in both styles, in the process collecting ...
