On his latest studio album With Love, produced by Don Was, the Detroit rock legend sounds more vibrant than ever. The track “Pass It To The Right” delivers infectious Latin-rock grooves and a wink of humor – a musical homage to hedonistic nights and the golden rule of any good party.
The accompanying music video captures the vibe perfectly: colorful, playful, and tinged with psychedelic nostalgia, it visually reflects the song’s free-spirited energy.
A lovingly crafted trip between reality and fantasy, the video celebrates Ryder’s undiminished joy in making music.
For many musicians of Ryder’s vintage and status, age heralds a creative slowdown and reliance on the hits. But as he broaches his eighth decade, the Michigan-born singer-songwriter remains in constant motion, his backstory only rivalled by what is yet to come. It’s an attitude epitomised by the new Don Was (Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt, Iggy Pop) - produced studio album With Love, released February 2025 on Ruf, and packed with tough, tender, personal songs that stand alongside anything in his catalogue.
“Out of the 21 studio albums that I have recorded, this one is in the top two,” considers Ryder, reflecting on a catalogue that began with 1966’s Take A Ride with The Detroit Wheels. “It is one of the most honest albums I’ve ever made. Not that the other ones were lies, but I was able to access previously hidden feelings.
