Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp was Kid Rock's third full length album, It was distributed by his own label, Top Dog Records. There are two pressings of this CD, the first, the 1996 original pressing, has the Top Dog logo on the actual CD while the 1999 reissue it just a basic labeled disc. Kid Rock used the money he made from his 1994/1995 monthly Bootleg Series cassettes as well as becoming the janitor at The White Room Studios to purchase recording time. "Intro" has been used by the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons at their games. This album is not backed musically by The Twisted Brown Trucker Band as many report. He did not start arranging the group into a full-fledged backing band until he began pushing for major label attention in 1997.

[edit] Trivia

  • There are 3 different alternate covers for the cassette release. The 1st is commonly known as the "blurry" version. There is also a "Joe C" version and a very rare "CD cover" cassette as well.
  • The songs "Where U At Rock" and "Black Chick, White Guy" were remade for his Devil Without A Cause release.The only real difference on "Black Chick, White Guy" is the beat, and a sarcastic guy burping and saying "that was deep" at the end.
  • Though the song "Live" lists Esham as appearing on the track, he only gives the muddled intro to the song.
  • The Black Crowes Eddie Harsch plays the piano,organ, and keyboard on the album.
  • At Kid Rocks 1999 gigs he sold a green label pressing of the albums.
  • Early Mornin Stoned Pimp, Paid, I Wanna Go Back, and Ya Keep On were completely rerecorded for the History of Rock album with additional samples, piano parts, and guitar parts.
