Uncle Kracker Uncut: Kid Rock and Eminem Stories, ‘Follow Me’ & Kenny Chesney’s Big Ask

On this episode of Like A Farmer, country rocker Uncle Kracker sits down to talk music, memories, and Motor City roots. He dives into growing up in Detroit, kicking off his music career at just 12 years old, and how Kid Rock helped launch his path to stardom. In Beer Thoughts presented by OUTLAW LIGHT, Kracker shares raw takes on today’s music scene, writing rap in his early years, and how the industry’s changed since his debut. He doesn’t shy away from the details, including the Eminem vs. Kid Rock feud, his first record deal, and what it was like stepping into the spotlight. In Cut That Song presented by CASE KNIVES, Kracker reveals which hit song he wishes he wrote, and in Give ’Em the Boot presented by TECOVAS, he gives us his personal Mount Rushmore of Musicians, and it’s one you don’t want to miss. This one’s packed with stories and a whole lot of Kracker-style honesty.
