Bob Seger- Against the Wind 45th Anniversary 2-24
By the time of Against the Wind‘s February 1980 release, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band had elevated to one of America’s most popular recording and touring acts. It certainly was a long way from 1968’s “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” first toss of the rock’n’roll dice, yet we talked for hours mere miles from where it all started for Seger in Ann Arbor, MI. “I think of all the albums I’ve ever done, ‘Against the Wind’ is the easiest for me to listen to,” Bob says thoughtfully. “It’s probably the most fulfilled I ever was as a songwriter.”
In easy conversation, Bob Seger details the songs which made Against the Wind the #1 seller in America, including “Fire Lake”, “Her Strut”, “You’ll Accomp’ny Me”, the rave up “Betty Lou’s Gettin’ Out Tonight”, and the timeless timepiece “Against the Wind”. Don’t miss my guest Bob Seger here In the Studio for the forty-fifth anniversary of the six times platinum Against the Wind the week of February 24. -Redbeard
