Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band came together in Detroit in 1974, Seger's gravel-throated voice fronted by a band built for the long haul: Drew Abbott on guitar, Chris Campbell on bass, Craig Frost on keyboards and Alto Reed on saxophone among them. It was a sturdy, no-nonsense Midwestern rock outfit that could play barroom boogie and heartfelt ballads with equal conviction.
Night Moves in 1976 set the template, its title track slow-building and bittersweet. Stranger in Town in 1978 had "Hollywood Nights", all galloping urgency, and "Old Time Rock & Roll", a jukebox stomper with the piano pounding away. Against the Wind in 1980 found Seger at his most reflective, and The Distance in 1982 brought "Roll Me Away", wide-open and windswept.
Earlier numbers like "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Get Out of Denver" and the sax-soaked "Turn the Page" are part of the same story. Seger got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1987.
