Of all the heartland-based "working class rockers" of the 1970s and '80s, Bob Seger was one of the most consistently credible and satisfying. Not only did he brandish a muscular classic rock sound, but he was a talented songwriter, giving equal emphasis to rebellious electric barnstormers and melancholic, thoughtful folk-tinged tunes. Seger's spotlight may have faded by 2006's FACE THE PROMISE, but that doesn't mean any of his power as a singer, songwriter, and performer had diminished.

Seger's gruff voice sounds as weathered and gutsy as ever, and his status as an elder statesman hasn't led him to turn down his amplifiers a single notch, as the pounding title track and "Wreck This Heart," the album's opener, prove. But one of Seger's great strengths has always been his reflective, acoustic-driven songs, and "No Matter Who You Are" and "Won't Stop" deliver on that count, demonstrating that even after all these years Seger still has his touch.

3 stars Old Times, Good Times
Bob, as good as he gets. But being an old fan dating back to the eary 80's I'll still buy his music. Terrible Tony

I bought this when it first appeared on iTunes on a whim, and have loved it. Somehow it has since disapeared from the store; don't know why.

5 stars Great!
Great cd. But about two songs ("Simplicity & Between") too long for the style of songs chosen. Great sound...great voice and great talent.

1 star A Great Effort from a Motown Homeboy!!!!
Im not going to get into a lot of politics here with "it is or isnt a great album" but rather just give my opinion and perception. I think the reason the album does not appeal to some is because these may be the old school classic rock Seger type fans (like myself) and so naturally they are disappointed expecting a more earlier rockier type of Bob. But the man has mellowed and is still writing great songs and weather they are to the fancy of the old school rockers or not the album has gone platinum on a national level. A million people cant be wrong can they? I admit for me the writing (lyrics) is great and strong but the songs are not my cup of tea. I want back my Bob from Live Bullet in 75 but like all of us "it aint happenin". We are all getting older now. So either grow old with Bob and cherish the new stuff or keep playing the early records and dream of the memories.

5 stars Seger Delivers Big Time!
This is an amazing CD. I cannot understand the criticism below of this incredible body of work. It starts with a killer rock song - Wreck This Heart. The rockers are all represented here - "Face the Promise" has a fresh sound that I don't think is too reminiscent of any of Bob's older work. Don't get me wrong - he hasn't reinvented anything on this album - but it is a cohesive body of work. "Between" was written after seeing Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth". "Simplicity" is a funky romp that the Pistons inspired. Seger is a long time Pistons fan. My favorite cut is the beutifully done "Won't Stop" which features Bob on guitar. The last track "The Long Goodbye" is written about the effects of Alzheimer's disease. All in all this is a great album - I wish the wait wasn't so long - but it the product delivers. It was amazing to see Bob back out on the road again and he played health portions of this. This album has already gone platinum - for a reason. Rock and Roll Never Forgets. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

Billy Payne (piano); Craig Frost (organ); David Hood, Chris Campbell (bass); David Teegarden, Roger Hawkins (drums, percussion); Russ Kunkel (drums); Bobbye Hall (percussion); Laura Creamer, Joan Sliwin (background vocals). Upon the release of GREATEST HITS VOL. 2, Michigan's answer to Bruce Springsteen had receded into the Boss' considerably large shadow, thanks to a self-imposed hiatus that found him recording only two studio albums in the 1990s. Despite the seemingly short attention span of the pop music world, this particular collection presents a fine argument that may reinforce Bob Seger's stature in the eyes of non-die-hard fans that only know ...

CD $8.05  3.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Bob Seger closed out his Capitol contract with Brand New Morning, a singer/songwriter album quite unlike anything he had yet released. Following its release he moved to the Detroit-based label Palladium and returned to hard-driving rock & roll with Smokin' O.P.'s, the polar opposite of Brand New Morning. According to legend, the title stands for "smoking other people's songs," which makes sense since this is a cover album that even covers Bob Seger & the Last Heard. In other words, it's nothing like the intimate, reflective, risky ...
