New CD of early Bob Seger cuts out soon
Good news for longtime Bob Seger fans from Tom Weschler, who just co-authored the "Travelin' Man' photo book documenting his years with Seger.
A Weschler photograph will grace the cover of a new CD, "Early Seger Vol. 1" that will bring together some of Seger's pre-"Beautiful Loser" songs, the ones that made him a legend in Detroit's teen clubs and high school gyms long before the rest of the country caught up.
Also included will be many unreleased rareties, like his cover versions of "Midnight Rider" and "If I Were a Carpenter."
The CD will go on sale Nov. 24 exclusively at Meijer's for a week; on Nov. 30 it will also be available at BobSeger.com.
One can only hope that "Vol. 2" will delve back into the Hideout singles.
According to Weschler, here are the tracks:
1."Midnight Rider" (from "Back in '72")
2."If I Were a Carpenter"(from "Smokin' O.P.'s")
3."Get Out of Denver" (from "Seven")
4."Someday" (from "Smokin' O.P.'s")
5."U.M.C. (Upper Middle Class)" (from "Seven")
6."Long Song Comin'" (2009 re-recording)
7."Star Tonight" (previously unreleased)
8."Gets Ya Pumpin'" (previously unreleased)
9."Wildfire" (previously unreleased)
10."Days When the Rain Would Come" (previously unreleased)

Seger
What a holiday gift from Detroit's finest entertainer!!! I can't wait to get a copy for my collection of the rest I have!!! My wife was a waitress many many years ago and waited on Seger out in Waterford, she kept the coffee cup and cloth napkin from the man, what a hoarder she is!! But I have all my ticket stubs , so what can I say, Bob Seger was THE CONCERT IN DETROIT ONCE UPON A TIME, IF WE COULD ONLY GO BACK!! I CAN HEAR THE SAX PLAYING RIGHT NOW. OH MAN HIS MUSIC CALLED BOYS TO BE A MAN IN DETROIT WHEN HE HAD THE RIGHT DATE!!!
