Listen to Silver Bullet Bluegrass
An all star tribute to the legendary Bob Seger, all the songs here are Seger originals and welcome a variety of artists to the creative interpretations.
“Long Twin Silver Line” begins the listen with swift strings and much attention to atmosphere in the bluegrass fueled, harmonic climate thanks to Carson Peters, and “Turn The Page” follows with an intimate spirit via Gary Nichols’ soulful pipes that populate the classic tune.
Deeper into the listen, the quick mandolin and fiddle acrobatics of “You’ll Accompany Me” allow for Keith Garrett’s flowing vocals to populate the mountain-esque melodies, while the vulnerable and pretty “We’ve Got Tonight” maintains the timelessness of the original in the Jeff Parker version.
Landing near the end, “Feel Like A Number” features Robert Hale’s pipes for the meticulous and dreamy album highlight, and “Night Moves” exits with a gentle intimacy via Larry Cordle’s eloquent pipes amid the soulful finish.
Fans of Seger or Americana/bluegrass and classic rock in general won’t be disappointed here, where plenty of esteemed musicians are along for a top notch tribute.
Travels well with: Alex Miller- Country; Charlotte Morris- Wild Child
