"It Was All Right
Mitch Ryder's Life in Music"
 by James A. Mitchell
With a Foreword by Mitch Ryder

Songs performed by Detroit rocker Mitch Ryder, such as "Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Jenny Take a Ride" are among the most well loved of the twentieth century, but his fascinating life story is unknown to many. It Was All Right is a portrait of Ryder built on firsthand "road stories"—a rock-and-roll travelogue that is also an insider’s look at fame and popular culture in America.

Born in 1945 in Hamtramck, Michigan, Ryder has been in the music business for 47 years, made more than two dozen albums’ worth of recordings, and given upward of 8,000 performances. In It Was All Right, author James A. Mitchell has collected an impressive array of anecdotes from Ryder’s extraordinary life in music, including Ryder’s stories of his first gigs in Greenwich Village clubs, singing with a black trio in the early days of the civil rights movement, jamming with Jimi Hendrix, and attending private parties thrown by the Beatles. Mitchell also chronicles Ryder’s more recent career, as he struggled to regain his popularity among American audiences after the 1970s and returned home to the Detroit music scene in the 1980s.

In all, Ryder’s abundant commentary and Mitchell’s easy narration combine to give readers a fast-paced tour of a turbulent musical journey that is still unfolding. Whether blending musical genres or dabbling in political activism, Ryder’s one-of-a-kind experiences will intrigue music fans and anyone interested in musical or cultural history.

GREAT 80v edger (but Kobalt users beware)
Size: 8" Edger Gen1, Size: 8" Edger Gen1
This Greenworks 80v edger is fantastic. I was surprised at how sturdy and rigid the shaft is - much more so than the very much more expensive Stihl Brushcutter I used for years. I like the adjustability of the blade depth and the power is impressive. You will get more run time with higher amp batteries - I have both 2.0 and 2.5 amp batteries, but if you have multiple batteries and chargers (from acquiring multiple tools) you will never be waiting for a battery to charge. If you have only purchased Greenworks tools, then you are golden. BUT HERE IS THE RUB IF YOU, LIKE ME, THOUGHT THEY WERE STRAIGHT-ACROSS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME LINE OF TOOLS THEY MANUFACTURED FOR LOWE'S UNDER THE KOBALT MONIKER AND BLUE COLOR, AS DIFFERENTIATED FROM THEIR STANDARD BRIGHT GREEN. One of the reasons I went ahead and committed to buying the Kobalt line of 80v yard tools was because Greenworks made them and I figured that it would be a long-lasting and stable design platform, being the same 80v system across two different brands. Then Lowe's dropped the 80v line. I was able to get a few more of their tools for great clearance prices and looked forward to switching over to the complete line of Greenworks 80v tools. was very happy to be able to order their edger because it's the exact same power system - just that all of my gear is Kobalt blue. AND HERE IS THE DEAL WITH THAT: They are different. The Kobalt 80v battery will not fit/slide into the Greenworks 80v battery compartment/housing (*as manufactured). - I guess I shouldn't have been surprised - and it could have been Lowe's that required that the stuff made for them specifically would be incompatible. But since it's the same power system, I wondered what the difference was and if I could work-around their obstructionist corporate bs. What I discovered was that the battery compartment on the tools have two long molded channel-guides (male) that match the two long molded (female) channels in the batteries. The vertical placement of the bottom 'rail' in the tool/compartment is positioned in a slightly different spot between the Kobalt and Greenworks 'brands'. But this actually works, because I just used a hand chisel and removed the 'bottom' rail from the Greenworks tool/edger. WA-LA - EUREKA!!! It worked great! It's a great fit, the top rail is more than enough to hold the battery stably in position and the 'lock' mechanism functions perfectly! I am looking forward to buying more tools in the Greenworks 80 volt line without having to replace all of the Kobalt tools I already paid for AND ESPECIALLY the rediculously expensive batteries...

Great product that makes edging very fast
Size: 8" Edger New
Edging was quite a job because I had to do it with a hand tool. I have quite a few Greenwork tools, so I decided to purchase the edger. It works great and I am in general happy with it. The three downsides for me are that tool is quite heavy when it also has the battery in it, that the metal blade decreases in size rapidly because of the friction when edging near concrete, and that the wheel is in such a position that I have to bend substantially while the blade does not edge deep enough so that I have to lean the tool on the metal strip at the bottom of the tool.

Plenty of power. Easy to use.
Size: 8" Edger New
I was amazed at the power of this edger. Due to health issues we couldn’t give our lawn adequate attention. It hadn’t been edged in over a year. This edger cut thru the heavy overgrown grass. Maintaining the edging now is a breeze. It uses the same 80 volt battery as my blower👍. The only negative is there is no edge guide, but once I got used to it, it’s not really needed.
