CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Bob Seger was seven years into his recording career and a regional rock star in the Detroit area when he broke nationally in 1976 with a concert album, Live Bullet, and his best-ever studio album, Night Moves. The song "Night Moves" is a brawny rock ballad about coming-of-age sexually; the album itself built on the experience of Seger's previous work to find him maturing artistically. Seger's a powerful singer who's always believed in the traditional rock trimmings of a big beat accompanied by Chuck Berry figures on the guitar and hammering riffs on the piano. He deploys such techniques with equal assurance on an oldie ("Mary Lou") and on his own heavier rockers ("The Fire Down Below," "Sunspot Baby"). But it was with songs like "Mainstreet" and "Night Moves" that he found a way to address the frustrations and fun of the working class lives of his primary audience. And with the rip-roaring "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," he produced an anthem that would keep them rocking way past the age of consent. --John Milward Similar CDs

CD Reviews"...AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW YOU REMEMBER ?" (Night Moves is a nea ol' nuff n' den sum | the Virginia coast, USA | 04/17/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Bob Seger's Night Moves (1976) catapulted the hard working and long deserving rock n' roller into the national spotlight, and it's really no wonder that it did. It's an almost perfect album. With the classic title song, the reflective and atmospheric Main Street and some basic hard driving rock n' roll, the album caught on with true rockers who were growing tired of pretentious, wimpy and platform shoe lifted glitter rockers. With Night Moves, Bob Seger offered intelligent rock music with backbone and true grit, sung by a man with a soulful voice who looked and sounded like he could actually back up what he was singing. All-American Rock n' Roll! The music on Night Moves is mostly basic stuff, but highly enthusiastic with the smart professionalism that road tested experience brings. The Silver Bullet Band plays on half of the songs which were recorded in Bob's hometown of Detroit, and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section plays on the other half, recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama. Night Moves. Ain't it funny how you remember? The song brings back memories for a lot of people. Who doesn't remember the exuberance of youth and the "awkward teenage blues" that Bob himself so vividly recalls. We weren't in love, oh no, far from it We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored Living by the sword Rock And Roll Never Forgets, Sunspot Baby, Mary Lou and the smokin' hot Fire Down Below are all energetic and durable rock n' roll. It's the kind of stuff that rocks with the best, but hangs tough and doesn't lose it's mature and masculine character. Main Street is a classic, one of the best songs of Seger's career. Winding and picturesque, it describes a scene right out of 1950s-60s Main Street, U.S.A. from a young boy's perspective. In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers I used to watch 'em through the glass Well, I'd stand outside at closing time Just to watch her walk on past Unlike all the other ladies she looked so young and sweet As she made her way alone down that empty street Come To Poppa is a funky, soulful and pounding strut that Seger works for all it's worth. Great song. There's really nothing on Night Moves to complain about. It's almost perfect, actually. Atmospheric and picturesque in a vivid and personal way, Night Moves touches many people in many different ways. It rocks like there's no tomorrow , wistfully reflects, and lusts for the wild touch of love's madness. Classic in every way, Night Moves is American rock n' roll at it's very best! " He needs more credit ol' nuff n' den sum | 04/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I know it's amazing, someone under 13 is writing a review about Bob Seger. :->. Anyway, Bob Seger is probably the most underated musicians of all time. He is a great singer, song writer, pianist and a good guitar player. This album has awesome songs, I can choose a song at random and be impressed even if it is one of the first times I heard it. Night Moves is a masterpiece, especially Mainstreet. The riffs, the solos and the songs in general are all good. I can't think of a complaint but...Bob needs more respect. We hear bout Angus Young not getting enough respect as a guitar player but I know other kids that know Angus' name but not Bobs. So to all you moms and dads expose your children to one of the best men in the music industry. This is a great addition to any collection."
