Bob Seger Celebrates Against the Wind Anniversary In The Studio
. The latest episode of syndicated radio show In The Studio: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands celebrates the 35th anniversary of Bob Seger's classic album "Against The Wind". The show sent over these details: After over a decade of sweatin' it out on the road, as documented on the live album Live Bullet, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band finally had their breakout with 1976's Night Moves followed by Stranger In Town in 1978, capping off a phenomenal end to the decade. The sheer height to which Bob Seger's star had risen was put on full display when Against the Wind unseated Pink Floyd's epic The Wall album for the # 1 spot on the Billboard chart upon release in February 1980, producing the hits "Fire Lake", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", and title track "Against the Wind". Superstardom, however, was challenging for Seger. Bob admits to InTheStudio host Redbeard how he was able to find his way after selling over 17 million albums in four short years. "I think (my) reaction to stardom was very uncomfortable from '76 thru '79, because I had NO reaction (from record execs) for the twelve years prior to that. I was very suspicious throughout that period... I was probably not the best person to be around unless you were really in my inner circle... I was quite closed off. I think it wasn't until 1980 that I really opened up. And that's why I have such fond memories of Against the Wind." - Bob Seger Stream the episode here.
