The rest of the country is just waking up.” If anything, he’s been a local legend in his hometown of Detroit and most of the Midwest for almost a decade, amazingly having three of the four biggest selling albums in the history of the Detroit market, ‘Live Bullet’ is the biggest selling album of all time there, ‘Night Moves, Seger’s new album has shot to number two and ‘Beautiful Loser’, his 1974 album, is number four.

It’s hard to imagine a more classic song than Bob Seger’s “Night Moves.”Īnd on this date in 1976, he released his ninth-career studio album, of the same name.
