Very much like a lot of late '70s country rock.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Oct 28, 2020 8:44 pm

This is the best track since the first one.

Another hackneyed blues-rock number.

My feeling is that Seger and his 'affiliates' were always aiming for the Lynyrd Skyrnyd demographic whilst ignoring any influence or debt to Black music.

Going on too long.

Track 7 - We've Got Tonite.

The other famous one.

This is the one I remember best.

The lyrical theme is pathetically abject.

Aimed cynically at his his pathetically abject fans.

Big middle eight.
