Essential Albums
- Released on the heels of a breakthrough 1976, Stranger in Town marked Seger’s first album after becoming a bona fide star. Not that you’d know it outside, say, “Hollywood Nights”, which tells tale of a homesick Midwestern boy looking out at L.A. For the most part, Stranger sticks to the same passionate rave-ups (“Feel Like a Number”, “Old Time Rock and Roll”) and hard-bitten ballads (“Still the Same”, “Till It Shines”) that paved Seger’s road to fame in the first place—a strong but humble sound that still resonates.
- Released more than 10 years into his career, Night Moves transformed Bob Seger from regional hero to national star. Throwing together everything from roadhouse rave-ups (“Mary Lou”) to bittersweet, Van Morrison-style ballads (“Night Moves”), the album stands as a monument to the power of rock ’n' roll at its most passionately direct, revelling in the past while still trying to cut loose in the present. Or, as Seger puts it in “Rock and Roll Never Forgets,” “Sweet Sixteen’s turned 31”.

About Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Bob Seger is the godfather of heartland rock, but it took years of hard slogging before he finally busted through to the Multi-Platinum, stadium-filling status that made him rock royalty. He'd recoil from anybody who called him "royalty" to his face, though—his rep is built on being the rock 'n' roll ambassador of the working class, with songs that capture their joys, despairs, passions and pride. Born in Detroit in 1945, Seger started as a scrappy garage rocker, pumping out a raw, revved-up Motor City blend of rock and soul in other people's bands before finally stepping out to front The Last Heard in '66 and The Bob Seger System a couple years later. The System's lone hit—1968's "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man"—notwithstanding, he remained a regional phenomenon through the mid-'70s, until he and his Silver Bullet Band made their journeyman status pay off big-time with Live Bullet, the concert album that shared his sweaty, soulful rock 'n' roll blowout with millions. The wider world was primed for his next studio record, and 1976’s Night Moves made Seger even bigger while spotlighting his reflective side on tunes like the bittersweet blockbuster of a title track. Never one for the fame game, he took a decade off starting in the mid-'90s, but roared back with 2006's Face the Promise. Not only were Seger’s old fans there to greet him, they brought their kids to the party, and that multi-generational fanbase turned out for his 2018-19 farewell tour, which capped more than half a century of gut-level rocking.
