Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Every Album by this American songwriting legendBob Seger began his career during the 1960s, fronting various bands in the Michigan area, a local hero who took almost a decade to break through to a national American audience. The in-concert Live Bullet, followed by the single and album Night Moves in 1976, established him as a major attraction at home and then internationally. Further success came with the singles ‘Hollywood Nights’ and the much-covered ‘We’ve Got Tonight’ and albums like Stranger In Town, the US number one Against The Wind and The Distance, while touring regularly with his backing outfit The Silver Bullet Band. He was regarded as one of the prime examples of ‘heartland rock’, embracing styles from rock’n’roll and soul to introspective ballads and country, and also had an out-of-character pop US number one in 1987 with ‘Shakedown’. Although less prolific in later years, altogether he released 18 studio albums and two live sets, spanning over half a century from his garage band beginnings in 1966 fronting The Last Heard, to his final set I Knew You When in 2017 and a farewell tour that ended two years later. This book examines every album track and single from his lengthy career.
