Stranger In Town (Remaster) (Cassette)

Detroit native Bob Seger's career is a model of hard work and dues-paying. After relentless touring and minimal album sales in the late 1960s/early '70s, Seger broke through in a major way with NIGHT MOVES in 1976, and continued selling millions of records throughout the '80s and '90s. Seger's rough, soulful voice, unpretentious lyrics, and everyman appeal ensure his status as a beloved American roots-rocker.

After nearly a decade of struggling, working-class rocker Bob Seger hit the big time with such acclaimed releases as 1976's one-two punch LIVE BULLET and NIGHT MOVES, and two years later, STRANGER IN TOWN. The latter quickly became (and remains) one of Seger's most commercially and artistically successful albums.

Included are two of his most instantly recognizable hits--the self-explanatory "Old Time Rock n' Roll," a song that would enjoy a second chart life when used in the 1982 film RISKY BUSINESS, and the reflective "Still the Same." Around the time of STRANGER's release, the press was pitting Seeger against another popular blue-collar rock hero--Bruce Springsteen. The record buying public ignored the debate, however, accepting both rockers with open arms.

Although this can be perceived as a dated album it epitomized American rock of the 70s. Seger had been around for some time, making his first record in 1965 and treading the boards, and must have found it mildly amusing to have such a colossal hit on his hands. As Seger was around first it is insulting to say he sounds like Springsteen, both in voice and in melody, but he does. 'Still The Same' still makes you melt and 'We've Got Tonight' is for those grown-up, macho, hopeless romantics who like motorbikes, but don't necessarily like getting on them.
