Music review: Bob Seger – 无毛视频業 Knew You When无毛视频�
With 2017 coming to a quiet close, now is the perfect time for feeling nostalgic and looking back at the people and events that helped to shape who we are today.
On Bob Seger无毛视频檚 latest effort, the Detroit rock legend finds himself in a reflective mood as he sings on the title track, 无毛视频淵ou helped me through my darkest hours/You always were my friend/You gave me hope to carry on/Because I knew you when.无毛视频�
无毛视频淚 Knew You When无毛视频� is Seger无毛视频檚 18th studio release and is dedicated to the memory of longtime friend Glenn Frey, who passed away in 2016.
The stirring 无毛视频淚无毛视频檒l Remember You无毛视频� serves as another Seger-penned track about friendship, loyalty and lessons learned.
As a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Seger has always had a knack for crafting a memorable tune.
The 72-year-old Seger shows no signs of slowing down and proves that 2014无毛视频檚 无毛视频淩ide Out无毛视频� wasn无毛视频檛 his swan song as witnessed on new straightforward rock tracks 无毛视频淩unaway Train无毛视频� and 无毛视频淭he Highway.无毛视频�
无毛视频淕racile无毛视频� opens the set with the same gritty assurance and swagger displayed on 1976无毛视频檚 无毛视频淪unspot Baby无毛视频� and 1980无毛视频檚 无毛视频淗er Strut.无毛视频�
The album also includes strong covers of Lou Reed无毛视频檚 无毛视频淏usload of Faith无毛视频� and Leonard Cohen无毛视频檚 无毛视频淒emocracy.无毛视频� Both tracks deliver a powerful and timely message about staying vigilant during turbulent times.
Rock flavorings of Led Zeppelin无毛视频檚 无毛视频淜ashmir无毛视频� can be prominently heard on 无毛视频淭he Sea Inside.无毛视频� This pounding number soars with a dramatic sense of purpose by illustrating the calming solace discovered when moving away from earthly things and focusing on what无毛视频檚 truly in our heart.
The deluxe edition includes 无毛视频淕lenn Song.无毛视频� The touching tribute to Frey features Seger closing the album by tenderly singing, 无毛视频淭here was no one quite like you.无毛视频� The friendship between the two artists had its early beginnings with Seger无毛视频檚 无毛视频淩amblin无毛视频� Gamblin无毛视频� Man.无毛视频� The 1968 hit featured Frey on acoustic guitar and singing backing vocals. Years later, Seger would lend his writing skills to the Eagles无毛视频� 无毛视频淗eartache Tonight.无毛视频�
Once again rock and roll never forgets. And fortunately for fans, neither does Seger.
