BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND "stranger in town" cd,1978.
i guess the best words to describe this one is "one of rock's masterpieces!"....
nine tracks of almost perfect rock n roll IMO...including two of the best ballads i have ever heard in "the famous final scene" and "we got tonite" which was butchered by Sheena Easton/Kenny Rogers IMO(butchered is probably the wrong word,their version wasnt bad, but this is far superior!).
at least five of the tracks get constant airplay here on retro radio stations, and he always ranks high in "best of" lists with these songs also...
its a shame this guy is grossy underrated,especially in the UK where he has had little chart success....but then again so was Springsteen in the pre "born in the USA" days also.
a great album by a great singer/songwriter!
