This week we have 3 hours of the best songs from the Classic Albums that we used to hear coming out of our car radios - Andy Gibb, Air Supply, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones and so much more!!!
Our featured Album of the Week is the classic from BOB SEGER & The SILVER BULLET BAND.
Night Moves is the ninth album by Bob Seger, released on October 22, 1976
Released more than 10 years into his career, Night Moves transformed Bob Seger from regional hero to national star.
Bob Seger recorded the bulk of Night Moves before Live Bullet brought him his first genuine success, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it's similar in spirit to the introspective Beautiful Loser, even if it rocks harder and longer.
Throughout much of the album, he's coming to grips with being on the other side of 30 and still rocking. He floats back in time, turning in high-school memories, remembering when wandering down "Mainstreet" was the highlight of an evening, covering a rockabilly favorite in "Mary Lou."
Stylistically, there's not much change since Beautiful Loser, but the difference is that Seger and his Silver Bullet Band -- who turn in their first studio album here -- sound intense and ferocious, and the songs are subtly varied.
Yes, this is all hard rock, but the acoustic ballads reveal the influence of Dylan and Van Morrison, filtered through a Midwestern sensibility, and the rockers reveal more of Seger's personality than ever.
Thankfully, this was delivered to a mass audience eager for Seger, and it not only became a hit, but one of the universally acknowledged high points of late-'70s rock & roll. And, because of his passion and craft, it remains a thoroughly terrific record years later.
So tune in and enjoy listening to some songs you haven't heard in a long time, and some some you have never heard.
And don't forget - We are streaming on iHeart radio, Radio Garden, and the COMMUNITY RADIO PLUS app. for the best in nothing but Community Radio.
