This may be his first album in over a decade, but veteran Detroit rock icon Bob Seger shows he's lost none of his signature songwriting chops, sense of blue collar yearning or distinctive vocal prowess during his record biz sabbatical. Rather than reinvent himself for a turbulent marketplace that's regressed from alt.rock to teeny-pop in his absence, Seger stays largely true to his roots here. The album's Nashville recording locale and Seger's winning duet with Patti Loveless on "The Answer's in the Question" reaffirm how much the lines between roots rock and contemporary country have blurred while he was on the sidelines, a notion that's underscored on Seger's raucous turn with fellow Motor City native Kid Rock on their cover of Vince Gill's "Real Mean Bottle." Yet forceful ballads like "Wait For Me" and "Won't Stop" show there's still gold to be mined in the vein of the singer's epochal '70s work, while "Wreck This Heart" rocks admirably and the melancholy closer "The Long Goodbye" showcases Seger as accomplished one man band. All in all a compelling musical argument for the notion that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. --Jerry McCulley

BOB SEGER FACE THE PROMISE
BOB SEGERS LATEST IS BACK TO HIS ROCKING BEST THE ROCKERS ARE BACK TO HIS HOLLYWOOD NIGHT DAYS.WHILE THE BALLADS ARE THE STRONGEST BUNCH OF SONGS RECORDED IN YEARS BY SEGER

Awesome just awesome
I agree it is great to have Mr. Bob Seger back with his music, our music. Over the holidays I listened to Little Drummer Boy and it was just the best I have ever heard it done. I think that Mr. Seger should do a Christmas CD for next year. His music has so much spirit and truth you have to be a Seger - Silver Bullet person to understand. And I know there are lots of us out there. Keep the music coming.

AGED TO PERFECTION!
This is a wonderful CD...There is not one song on here that is not good.
It is somewhat mellow, but what a collection. I could listen to it all day. You will not have the urge to skip around because you will enjoy every cut on it..My personal favorite! This one will stand the test of time! Love it!!!
