HOT DISH: Kid Rock, Alison Krauss Visit My Kitchen

( CMT Hot Dish is a weekly feature written by veteran columnist Hazel Smith. Author of the cookbook, Hazel's Hot Dish: Cookin' With Country Stars , she also hosts CMT's Southern Fried Flicks With Hazel Smith and shares her recipes at CMT .com.)

My kitchen will never be the same -- not since Kid Rock showed up there to enjoy chicken parmigiana, green beans, new red potatoes, squash and chocolate cherry trifle. Getting to know the Kid better was unbelievable. Such a nice, kind, sweet guy, one cannot help loving the young man from Detroit who loved Waylon and loves Hank Williams Jr. As a matter of fact, he and Hank just returned from Alabama, where Kid thinks he's found several hundred acres adjoining the 1,200 acres Hank owns. They love to hunt together.

Take minute to learn why he is Kid Rock.

Born Jan. 17, 1971, in the small town of Romeo, Mich., his parents owned horses and a six-acre orchard. Robert James "Bob" Ritchie, the third of four children, picked apples and took care of the horses. His small town life seemed dull, so he became interested in rap music, learned to break dance and began participating in talent shows in Detroit. At the tender age of 11, he joined a break dance crew and taught himself to work a belt-driven turntable. Ritchie DJ'ed during high school for beer and joined Groove Time Productions to perform basement parties for $30 a night. It was then he was given his stage name by clubbers who liked to watch "that white kid rock." Why he's still Kid Rock.

He started rapping, joined a hip-hop group and became friends with producer D-Nice, who eventually invited a rep from Jive Records to see him perform. A demo deal was followed by a record contract when Kid was all of 17, but his parents did not approve. Besides D-Nice, Kid found himself among other rap heavyweights -- Ice Cube, Too Short, Mac Dre and Yo-Yo. He released his debut album in 1990, but Jive did not push the product, so he was released from the contract the following year. Back in Detroit, Kid became friends with Uncle Kracker , who became his DJ until he went solo sometime in 2000.

Kid Rock released his eighth studio album mid November 2010. It was his first without a parental warning sticker. Produced by Rick Rubin, Born Free has edge and swagger and wit like his previous releases, but he does not rap, and there's no metal.
