Product Description
From Amazon.com
After more than 10 years working the Midwest club circuit, Detroit's Bob Seger hit mainstream American paydirt with this distillation of working-class values and juke-joint rock & roll. His regional success had been brewing throughout the mid-'70s, but after Bruce Springsteen connected with Born to Run (copping Seger's traditional rock values, to say nothing of his husky tone), it was only a matter of time before Seger found his ticket. Seger scores here with the nostalgic title track, the somber ballad "Mainstreet," the over-tanked rocker "Rock 'n' Roll Never Forgets," and the raunch standard "The Fire Down Below." --Rob O'Connor

Seger's best work
Feb 28 2004
Format:Audio CD
This album is simply a killer. Bob Seger in those days was playing raw, essential rock and roll at its best.
There's not a loser on this whole album, but the title song is a must hear. And "The Fire Down Below" is the one of the best workouts a Telecaster will ever get. It's a smoking, hook-filled, howling rock masterpiece. Seger outdid himself on this album and never again reached this high water mark.
Don't miss out on Night Moves.
One Of Seger's Best!

Night Moves moves,night or day
Nov 6 2003
Format:Audio CD
This is Bob Seger's first studio album with his recently formed Silver Bullet Band. Only several months before NIGHT MOVES was released,LIVE BULLET,recorded in September 1975,was released. This was the last album for Silver Bullet Band drummer Charlie Martin. Martin quit the band after a paralyzing accident. I believe he had to. Now for the songs: the title track tells a stoiry about a guy(possibly Seger)and his girlfriend. THE FIRE DOWN BELOW is about two girls,one named Rosie,who's looking mighty fine, and the other named Nancy,whom a guy is walking the streets for and he'll find her every time. ROCK AND ROLL NEVER FORGETS mentions 50's rock 'n roll great Chuck Berry,who influenced Seger. MAINSTREET is another telltale ballad. SUNSPOT BABY is about a guy who was swindled by a girl he was involved with,such as "she charged up a fortune on my credit card". SHIP OF FOOLS is about life on a vessel. SUNBURST tells about a man who's a king or lives like a king. The other two songs,COME TO POPPA and MARY LOU are cool. ROCK AND ROLL NEVER FORGETS,THE FIRE DOWN BELOW,the title track and MAINSTREET were later re-recorded for NINE TONIGHT in 1980. The title track re-entered the pop charts in 1994 when GREATEST HITS was released. There was a video depicting the lyrics of the song. Sorry,there was no MTV in 1976 when the title track debuted on the radio. But there were seldom-seen music videos.

"I Woke Last Night to the Sound of Thunder"
This is the album that made Bob Seger a familiar name. I liked the song "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" that I heard on the radio back in '69. I even have the LP that it's on. Read more
