Woke up Last Night to the Sound of Thunder - ...How far off, I sat and wondered... Started humming a song from 1962Ain t it funny how the night moves?As a child of the 60s already feeling out of place in the late 70s, those lines pierced me to the heart. How many nights as a teenager full of angst did I listen to the sound of thunder and count off the seconds trying to determine when the storm would arrive? Because, of course, when the rain would come, I could sleep like a child again.Yeah, Bob Seger grabbed me when that song came out in 1976 and I ve been a fan ever since. You could even say that his songs are cliches of my life: Like a Rock, We ve Got Tonight, Still the Same, Against the Wind, Rock and Roll Never Forgets and so on.This little collection is great and everybody ought to have it. Sure, it could have more cuts, but for what it is, it is really worth the money. I ve worn out two copies already and am on the third one! Best part is, even my grown children and my classics loving husband like Bob Seger!I still wake up to the sound of Thunder... and hum Bob Seger s Night Moves!
Now this is some ",Old Time Rock & Roll",. - I can see how a fanatic might be missing some tracks here, but for casual fans this is just about perfect. Anyone who listens to radio should know most of this collection, even if not by title. Included is ",Night Moves",, ",Still The Same",, ",Against The Wind",, and the classic ",Turn The Page",. Plus you get the excellent song ",Mainstreet",, and the anthem for all Chevy truck drivers ",Like A Rock",. I also really like the closer ",In Your Time",. ",Bob Seger", seems like one of those guys that everybody can like, and this collection is a classic rock must.
Apollo finally calls to Selene In His Own Voice - Seger is surely the reincarnation of the sweet lyrical voice of Apollo who charmed all around him. His songs call out to the lovely Selene who hears but doesn t realize that his call is for her alone. Roll Me Away, Night Moves, You ll Accom ny Me, Against the Wind, Mainstreet, and Like A Rock call out and make her dance and the reality starts to settle in. But he is tired and disgruntled with her and the world in some of the tracts and it shows. But it s worth every dime since it causes those of us who have been without his song to sing again to the top of our lungs and keep running against the wind like a rock . And Selene has heard and will one day soon Accomp ny him.
",Someday", - Capitol, you know these are not Bob Seger s Greatest Hits. Why are you giving us this condensed compilation, then following up with yet another scattershot effort (Greatest Hits II)? Where is our box set, featuring ALL of these songs and ALL the fan favorites from the early years? When it comes, in 20 years, it will be one of the best selling boxes ever, causing these two albums to be deleted. Too bad the ",suits", have their sophisticated money making schemes all fleshed out, at the listener s expense. These CD s are not cheap. That box set certainly won t be, either. Why don t you treat the fans right and give us what we really want? We want ",Ramblin Gamblin Man",, ",Innervenus Eyes",, ",Lucifer",, ",Bo Diddley",, ",Midnight Rider",, ",Cross of Gold",, ",UMC",, and ANYTHING from ",Brand New Morning",. Where are these songs?? You released them, and you re sitting on them. The fans can t even FIND these early tracks. Where are the even earlier ones, like the full- length ",Heavy Music",?Not recommended. Just turn on the classic rock station instead and save the money for gas. Great songs featured and misrepresented on a pair of crap comps. They did the same to Steve Miller. Sorry, Bob, but congrats on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yee-Ha!! - I love this CD! I always listen to it on my way to watch NASCAR or to pickup my kids for their weekend visit. I ve been married 3 times and they always play ",Old Time Rock N Roll", at my wedding! It rocks! I d love to see him in concert someday...maybe with Kid Rock. That would be awesome! The only think I like better than this is Freebird by Lenard Skinard, he s great too!
