A film producer buddy of mine said it back in the 80s: “Springsteen is The Boss, but Seger is The Best!”
Yup...Bob is very talented. Quick story: Bruce went to Seger when he was writing “The River” asking how he could change his style to get more hit singles because he was not getting half the radio play Seger was getting. Bob is an excellent singer/songwriter. His early stuff before 75 is off the charts good.
