In this episode, we take a first listen to the new album from Mitch Ryder, called With Love the latest chapter in the career of the rock and soul icon. With the release of his 21st studio album, Ryder calls it one of the most honest works of his career—raw, autobiographical, and packed with his grit and soul. Produced by Don Was, the album marks a 2025 moment in Ryder’s decades-long career.
We'll also hear Ryder’s roots—from fronting The Detroit Wheels in the mid-60s with hits like “Devil with a Blue Dress On” and “Jenny Take a Ride!” to his transformation into a blue-eyed soul singer and bandleader of The Mitch Ryder Show and his later career in Germany. His influence stretches across generations, as seen in collaborations with John Mellencamp and his induction into the R&B Hall of Fame in 2017.
We also talk about Ryder’s unexpected second act in Germany, where he's cultivated a devoted fan base and recorded much of his later work. Highlights include a live performance listen to The Roof Is on Fire, captured during his 75th birthday tour.
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Mitch Ryder's music, we hear his new music first - right here. How's it sound? What do you think?
