he could sing the yellow pages and make it sound good. This man is the best pure r&b rock artist ever.
Any Bob Segar fan who was of age when this ablums was originally released should be able to remember it with a great fondness.
Seger sure had some brilliant songs, and I'm really happy this is yet another solid album. This album features one of the GREATEST and prettiest songs Seger ever wrote- "Till it Shines". "Feel Like a Number" is another song worth hearing for its excellent vocals and rocking vibe, not to mention featuring lyrics I can relate to. Yes, it was one of his most popular albums, but you can't argue with the quality of the songwriting and Seger's excellent voice. THAT is a fantastic song. In fact, this is one pretty solid album overall, with only the atrocious "Old Time Rock and Roll" doing a nice job irritating the heck out of me.
So I ordered another one through Amazon. Fast. I had ordered a used copy from another buyer through amazon. Got it within a week. Thanks. I got the order confirmation and waited. I finally received a refund notice in my email with no explanation.nothing.
"Hollywood Nights" is a true rock n' roll classic, and "Feels Like a Number" and "Ain't Got No Money" have that same bluesy rockin' vibe that infuses this album with a good amount of old fashioned rock n' roll fun. Is there anything better than the version of "Old Time Rock & Roll" done by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Not Seger's best, but still very strong and thoroughly enjoyable. This is balanced by Seger's great ability to pen a more thoughtful, softer rock tune, as he does in "Still the Same," "We've Got Tonite," and "The Famous Final Scene." It all adds up to a great, classic album. Not for my money, there isn't. And 1978's Stranger in Town is full of great rockin' tracks like that.
