Bio:
Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American rock singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the "System" from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger's best-selling singles and albums.A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger wrote and recorded songs that dealt with love, women and blue-collar themes and was an exemplar of heartland rock. Seger has recorded many hits, including "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "We've Got Tonight", "Against the Wind", and "Shakedown" that was written for Beverly Hills Cop II and "Like a Rock", and also co-wrote the Eagles' number-one hit "Heartache Tonight". His iconic recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001.With a career spanning five decades, Seger continues to perform and record today. Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012.
Album:
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Face The Promise”, BOB SEGER‘s sixteenth studio album, a remastered version (remastered by Robert Vosgien) is being released on September 18, 2026, on vinyl for the first time. ”Face the Promise: Expanded Edition” features three unreleased songs: “Little Jane”, “Let Me Try” and “Time” along with the previously exclusive to iTunes bonus track, “Red Eye to Memphis”.Musically the record balances driving heartland rock and mature, soulful balladeering, marking a triumphant return after an 11-year hiatus. Upbeat rocking tracks like opener “Wreck This Heart” and the title track “Face the Promise” deliver classic, chugging guitar riffs and gritty energy reminiscent of Seger’s 1970s and ’80s peak. Then slower songs like the hit single “Wait for Me” highlight his enduring, throaty vocal style and contemplative songwriting.Originally released on September 12, 2006, the album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and quickly earned RIAA Platinum certification.A honky-tonking blues-rocking duet with Kid Rock on ”Real Mean Bottle” build bridges to younger fans. And everything is graced with Seger’s gruff, chesty vocals and peopled with the disillusioned but resolute blue-collar everymen of a million Springsteen and Mellencamp songs.His ability to deliver stories that all of us experience is exceptional. As far as the lyrics on ”Face the Promise” are concerned, they are contemplative and often reminiscent of his rollicking days in the ’70s/early-’80s that made songs like “Horizontal Bop” and “Katmandu” great grooves.The delivery of the softer, more intimate pieces are more convicted now that Seger has aged and lived the life of 10 men.Unlike other Seger albums, ”Face The Promise” has a rougher edge to it. The guitar melodies are much more grittier. As a musician Mr. Seger has also come full circle with himself as a man at his age.If you are familiar with Bob Seger’s work and like some or most of it I’d suggest you pick this album up. Give it a few spins, fortunately, as in most cases with classic rock stars making new albums, this one doesn’t take multiple listens to appreciate or decide which song you like.
