It can still be hard to take for some people that there was a time when Bob Seger was downright amazing...His early Detroit singles are legendary and the stuff of wonder. I was DJ'ing the other night and played this song when a young hipster woman came over to me and asked "who is THIS???" When I told her who it was she didn't believe me at first, then looked down at the record and saw I wasn't lying.
What happened, Bob????
from 1967...
I AGREE! WTF HAPPENED?
ReplyDeleteThe Hideout must have just been the greatest place back in the day. Derek do you have The Enchantments' I'm In Love With Your Daughter, & The Avengers' Be A Caveman? I heard these tracks on honeymoon in Cal 7 years ago & can't find 'em on any format in the UK where I live, & I'm deperate to try get 'em somehow. They never seem to occur on ebay.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best record he ever did, by a far piece.
ReplyDeleteThat same type of situation has happened for me with some of the songs on the Bob Seger System album. I mean compared to "Night Moves" and the Alf rockin' "Old Time Rock & Roll", it's hard to believe.
