Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Stranger in Town
Stranger in Town Review
A working-class hero is something to be. Just ask Michigan native Bob Seger, whose R&B-based rock and poetically uncomplicated lyrics made him a less cerebral alternative to Bruce Springsteen. For those who want the studio album that comes closest to a greatest-hits package, you can hardly do better than this 1978 LP. The follow-up to the previous year's smash, Night Moves, Stranger scored Seger a triple-platinum home run with can't-shake-'em-from-your-head hits like "Hollywood Nights," "Still the Same," "Till It Shines," and "We've Got Tonight." And even if the jukebox staple "Old Time Rock & Roll" has grown stale with time, Seger and company balance it out with the epic melancholy of the album's closer, "Famous Final Scene." Backed by incessant touring, Stranger in Town erased any lingering doubts about Seger's talent for crafting blue-collar rock anthems, cementing a reputation and a sound that's continued to hold up for decades. --Bill Forman

This is my personal favorite cd of Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band!From everthing to the rockin'song like:"Old Time Rock & Roll" & "Feel Like A Number" to the ballads like: "Still The Same" & "We've Got Tonight"! I must say if every song on this cd was released as a single they all would have been huge hits! My person favorite song on this cd is"The Famouse Last Scene"! I think anybody who don't have this cd in there house are Strangers to good music!

Bob Seger, the unsung hero of American rock and roll, who is finaly being let into the rock and roll hall of fam eafter all this time made one of the greatest albums in rock history with Stranger In Town. Many conceder this to be Bob Seger greatest album but I on the other hand think that title goes to Night Moves, but thats just me. This is a much more lush-album with keyboards and more even softer ballads.

The album starts of with one of Bob's biggest hits and one of his all time best songs 'Hollywood Nights' its a great up tempo rocker, and has a warm summer feel to the song. 'Still The Same' is one of my all time favorite songs, its a really great ballad, deffinatly one of Segers best ballads. 'Ol Time Rock And Roll' what can I say its the theme song to me life. 'Till It Shines' is one of Bob's more underrated songs and I think it is actualy one of his best. 'Feel Like A Number' one of my all time favorite songs and my favorite on the album, when ever I hear it, it reminds me of my father because he is a Truck driver and thats what the song is about. 'Aint Got Know Money' is all right but nothing to special there. 'We've Got Tonite' is a great ballad that always reminds me of my parents. 'Brave Strangers' and 'The Famous Final Scene' are both great rock songs, and are a perfect way to end the album.

Stranger In Town, is one of the greatest albums of all time, and in my openion Bob Seger's second best, right behind Night Moves. If you like good American rock and roll then you will love Bob Seger and this album.

BOB SEGER ROCKS!!!!! I can't think of anyone better (except maybe Jackson Browne) to be honored with an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, class of 2004. It's just a shame it didn't happen sooner. I have listened to this album almost every day since its release, and I never tire of it. In addition to the obvious classics "Old Time Rock & Roll" and "Hollywood Nights", every single song on this album is masterful and speaks to basic human instincts, needs, and desires. The album is about the passion of youth, it is about the beauty and wisdom of aging, it is about the longevity of classic rock. My only complaint is that I haven't heard Bob sing these songs live in a very long time.
