From the April 6-12, 2014, American Profile "Ask American Profile."
The native of Hamtramck, Michigan, 69, has been working on a novel he plans to adapt to a musical, tentatively called Hide Your Love Away. Ryder lives in Detroit and performs about 90 shows a year.
The high-octane rocker and his band, the Detroit Wheels, scored Top Ten hits in the 1960s with "Devil With the Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly," "Sock It to Me Baby" and "Jenny Take a Ride." He wrote and autobiography, "Devil & Blue Dresses" in 2011 and released his latest CD, The Promise" in 2012.
Another favorite performer of mine and one of the ultimate garage/frat rockers ever.
