Upon the release of GREATEST HITS VOL. 2, Michigan`s answer to Bruce Springsteen had receded into the Boss` considerably large shadow, thanks to a self-imposed hiatus that found him recording only two studio albums in the 1990s. Despite the seemingly short attention span of the pop music world, this particular collection presents a fine argument that may reinforce Bob Seger`s stature in the eyes of non-die-hard fans that only know him from regular rotation on classic rock radio.
This compilation dips into Seger`s periodic soundtrack contributions ranging from TEACHERS` piano-driven "Understanding" and the soaring MOR Martina McBride duet "Chances Are" from HOPE FLOATS to "Shakedown," the rocker`s only chart-topper from BEVERLY HILLS COP II. The collection also scratches the surface of Seger`s influences, particularly when he goes back to 1981 and 1974, with covers of Rodney Crowell`s countrified lament "Shame on the Moon" and Tom Waits` barfly anthem "New Coat of Paint," respectively. This Detroit native also tips a hat to his harder-rocking side by tossing classics like the salacious "The Fire Down Below," the howling "Her Strut," and "Tomorrow," a song written for this album that boasts a stomping tempo and Joan Osborne-like harmonies.
