I did a thesis on him in college for a music class. It stuck with me so idk for sure? I just remember reading he was born in Detroit and raised in Ann Arbor.....you can't always believe what you read, of course. So, you could possibly be right.

General Motors used Bob’s song as the theme for their Chevy trucks for almost 20 years. It was everywhere on TV and radio. Bob always supported the autoworkers and gave a lot of money in support of unemployed autoworkers, during a time when the industry was going through a rough time. That’s why he is revered in the Midwest and especially in Michigan, where he is now retired. We miss your fabulous concerts Bob. Thanks for this review of the great Bob Seger. 👏👏

This is the most beautiful slide guitar ever imo. Brings tears to me eyes. The outro is just phenomenal

[@rullaferd9663]

Bob is on my MT Rushmore of classic rock n roll singers.What a great songwriter and storyteller he is.

[@jimreedy1960]

If I recall correctly, they brought a slide guitar player into the studio for this track. When he was finished with his first take (maybe his only take), there was stunned silence as all the recording engineers and other musicians absorbed this epic performance. Some people had tears in their eyes when it ended. I am sure that either Bob or another member of the Silver Bullet Band learned it so they could play it in concerts, but it still stands as a monumental slide guitar performance.

[@RickeyWilkersonVoices]

"Mainstreet" "Roll Me Away" "Her Strut" and "Hollywood Nights" are all a MUST listen from Segers catalog!

[@markhodge7]

I've always liked this song, but when you get older, it hits a bit different. You should check out the official video. It brings it all home.

[@berniehand5528]

The clearness of his voice makes his songs more understandable than most rock singers. He is a great story teller and quite relatable to his fan base..

[@ericbrison3331]

Funny story about this song; Several years ago I was at work when the boss asked me to drive two other employees to pick up a couple of trucks that had been in the shop. They were both young guys, probably late teens-early twenties. I always listened to classic rock radio and during that trip this song came on. One of the guys remarked, "I thought this was a Chevy commercial. I didn't know it was a real song." I was in my mid thirties at the time but in that moment I felt very old.

Apart from the mighty voice and the tension in this song the guitar is the most exciting thing. It pushes it in any direction and is played so well. Especially the three notes around 3:00 kills me every time I listen to it. The slide guitar was played by Rick Vito and drums by Russ Kunkel, two great musicians. And believe it or not, the background vocals were The Weather Girls!

[@suprchickn7745]

The guitar solo is by a brilliant session artist named Rick Vito. Bob knew it was gold and worked with Rick for another thirty years.

Back in the late 60's we would go to the Crowsnest East, a club in St. Claire Shores, Michigan to see Bob Seger and The Last Heard. I was a youth of 16 years at the time.

[@SG-js2qn]

Gospel and blues rock. Bob Seger is a great bluesy singer and storyteller. I'd class him as "Heartland Rock," along with Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp, etc. Have you heard Gordon Lightfoot? He's another storyteller, a little more folk based, from a few years earlier. "Sundown," "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," "If You Could Read My Mind," and "Carefree Highway."

[@sheilabailey4005]
