Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast is Kid Rock's debut album, released by Jive Records in 1990. A college radio station which played an uncensored version of the song "Yo-Da-Lin In the Valley" was fined $23,700 by the FCC. Jive let the album sit and dropped Kid Rock from their label soon after. The album sold 1,000 copies upon initial release. Atlantic reissued it in 2000.
This remains the only Kid Rock album to be in the iTunes market, due to Kid Rock boycotting iTunes and the fact that he does not own the rights to this album.
