WHAT I'M LISTENING TO (MAY 28, 2014) WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BOB SEGER?

Maybe when I said "here ends my trip through the early years of Seger's career," you thought I was done with Bob Seger.

 But you would be wrong.

 While there have been whispers for a few years of a forthcoming album, Face The Promise, released in 2006, is Seger's most recent studio album, and was his first in more than a decade.


It proved Seger still had his songwriting chops, and his keen sense of blue collar yearning, and earned him a platinum certification, a top ten album (#4), a top twenty single (#16) with "Wait For Me," and a spot for the same song at #52 on the country charts.




The album currently in the works is reported to be Seger's swan song, so if you were a fan back in the day, you may want to pick this one up while it's still in print.

    Wait For me was #52 country??? Boy, times HAVE changed. A great song either way.

      Shrewd marketing on the part of the label, CW-they knew where the fans were likely to hear the song.

      Plus, if memory serves me, "Shame On The Moon" also hit the country charts back in the 80's...
