艺人介绍

Bob Seger是美国上世纪70年代最受欢迎，也是最有特点的硬摇滚歌手之一。虽然Bob Seger的音乐也有着很浓厚的蓝领气息，但他却从来没有像同时代的布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀（Bruce Springsteen）一样得到过评论界的青睐。

1961年，16岁的Bob Seger开始玩音乐，最初是作为底特律三人组合the Decibels的领军人物。当时，Bob Seger日后的经纪人Eddie &Punch& Andrews也是the Decibels的一员。在来到Ann Arbor之后，Seger开始和The Town Criers乐队合作。随后，Bob Seger又加入了Doug Brown & the Omens。不久之后，乐队改名为the Beach Bums，但发展的并不顺利。1966年，Bob Seger发行了他自己的第一支单曲《East Side Story》，在当地很受欢迎。之后，包括《Persecution Smith》和《Heavy Music》等在内的一系列单曲都通过Cameo Records面世。1968年，Bob Seger组建了Bob Seger System乐队并与Capitol Records签约。在当年春天，Bob Seger的首张个人专辑《Ramblin' Gamblin' Man》正式发行，同名单曲在美国颇受欢迎，名列流行单曲榜的第17位。在首张专辑取得开门红之后，Bob Seger System在一年之后很快就奉上了他们的第二张专辑《Noah》，但这张专辑却令所有歌迷大失所望。1969年末，Bob Seger决定暂时与音乐告别，开始回到校园上大学。

1970年夏，更换了一支新的伴奏乐队的Bob Seger发行了他的第三张专辑《Mongrel》。在他1971年的专辑《Brand New Morning》中，Bob Seger解散了他更换不久的这支新乐队，独自一人录制了这张专辑。在这张专辑发行之后，Bob Seger开始和Dave Teegarden与Skip &Van Winkle& Knape一起演出。1972年，Bob Seger在他自己与经纪人Eddie &Punch& Andrews共同创办的Palladium Records发行了他的最新专辑《Smokin' O.P.'s》。在这张专辑中，Dave Teegarden与Skip &Van Winkle& Knape为Seger伴奏。但Bob Seger精心打造出的这张唱片在发行之后的销量居然很差，而他1973年的《Back in '72》与1974年发行的专辑《Seven》的销量也都不如意。1975年，Bob Seger重返Capitol Records并发行了专辑《Beautiful Loser》。在录制《Beautiful Loser》专辑时，Bob Seger又组建了一支新的乐队“银子弹”（the Silver Bullet）。乐队由吉他手德鲁·阿波特（Drew Abbott），贝斯手克里斯·坎贝尔（Chris Campbell），键盘手罗宾·罗宾斯（Robyn Robbins），萨克斯手阿尔托·里德（Alto Reed）和鼓手查理·艾伦·马丁（Charlie Allen Martin）组成。

《Live Bullet》的大获成功使得Bob Seger的下张专辑《Night Moves》在1976年一发行便打入了美国专辑榜的前十名。《Night Moves》成了Bob Seger第二张大获成功的专辑，其中的单曲《Night Moves》，《Mainstreet》和《Rock & Roll Never Forgets》都十分畅销。1978年夏，Bob Seger发行了他的第11张专辑《Stranger in Town》。这张专辑延续了此前两张专辑的成功，其中的单曲《Still the Same》，《Hollywood Nights》，《We've Got Tonite》和《Old Time Rock & Roll》也都是排行榜上的热门单曲。连续三张专辑的热卖奠定了Bob Seger在美国流行乐坛的地位，到这个时候，Bob Seger已经是全美最受欢迎的摇滚歌手之一。1980年的专辑《Against the Wind》成为Bob Seger的首张排行榜冠军专辑，专辑中的《Fire Lake》，《Against the Wind》和《You'll Accomp'ny Me》是广大歌迷最钟爱的Bob Seger的几首情歌。1981年的现场专辑《Nine Tonight》也依然大卖，专辑在发行首周获得美国专辑榜的季军，总的销量也达到了300万张。

1982年，Bob Seger再次发行专辑《The Distance》。同年，Bob Seger的吉他手Abbott离开了乐队。在整个80年代中，他的the Silver Bullet Band人员更换的非常频繁。《The Distance》专辑中的《Shame on the Moon》成为Seger迄今为止最为成功的单曲，共售出100万张。在这张专辑之后，Bob Seger开始减少了他巡演和发片的数量。在80年代，他此后只在1986年发行了一张专辑《Like a Rock》，这张专辑和Bob Seger之后的巡演也都是十分成功的。1987年，Bob Seger被选入《Beverly Hills Cop II》原声碟的歌曲《Shakedown》成为他当年的唯一一首冠军单曲。

进入90年代之后，Bob Seger表现的依然不是那么活跃，只是在1991和1995年分别带来了两张专辑《The Fire Inside》和《It's a Mystery》。两张专辑得到的反响都一般，《It's a Mystery》甚至成为Bob Seger在《Live Bullet》之后第一张没有达到白金销量的专辑。2006年，在阔别了11年之后，Bob Seger终于发行了最新专辑《Face the Promise》。《Face the Promise》在发行首周名列Billboard 200专辑榜第四位，成为Bob Seger自1986年的专辑《Like A Rock》以后首张打入排行榜前五名的专辑。

Originally a hard-driving rocker in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger developed into one of the most popular heartland rockers over the course of the 70s. Combining the driving charge of Ryders Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and devotion to hard-edged soul and R&B, he crafted a distinctively American sound. While he never attained the critical respect of his contemporary Bruce Springsteen, Seger did develop a dedicated following through constant touring with his Silver Bullet Band. Following several years of missed chances and lost opportunities, Seger finally achieved a national audience in 1976 with the back-to-back release of Live Bullet and Night Moves. After the platinum success of those albums, Seger retained his popularity for the next two decades, releasing seven Top Ten, platinum-selling albums in a row.

Seger began playing music in 1961 as the leader of the Detroit-based trio the Decibels; his future manager, Eddie Punch Andrews was also a member of the band. Moving to Ann Arbor, he played with the Town Criers before he became the keyboardist and vocalist for Doug Brown & the Omens. Billing themselves as the Beach Bums, the band released The Ballad of the Yellow Beret, a parody of the Sgt. Barry Sadler song The Ballad of the Green Beret. The single was withdrawn shortly after its release after Sadler threatened a lawsuit. In 1966, Seger released his first solo single, East Side Story, which became a regional hit. Several other local hit singles followed on Cameo Records, including Persecution Smith and Heavy Music, before his label folded. In 1968, he formed the Bob Seger System and signed with Capitol Records, releasing his debut album, Ramblin Gamblin Man, in the spring of that year. The title track became a national hit, climbing to number 17, but the groups follow-up, Noah, stiffed and Seger decided to quit the music business at the end of 1969 to attend college.

By the end of the summer, Seger had returned to rock & roll with a new backing band, releasing Mongrel at the end of the year. For 1971s Brand New Morning, he disbanded his group and recorded a singer/songwriter effort. Following its release, he began performing with the duo Dave Teegarden and Skip Van Winkle Knape, and the duo provided support on 1972s Smokin O.P.s, which was the first release on Palladium Records, a label he formed with Andrews. The album failed to sell, as did Back in 72 (1973) and Seven (1974), and he moved back to Capitol Records for 1975s Beautiful Loser. For the recording of Beautiful Loser, Seger formed the Silver Bullet Band, which consisted of guitarist Drew Abbott, bassist Chris Campbell, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, saxophonist Alto Reed, and drummer Charlie Allen Martin. Seger supported Beautiful Loser with an extensive tour with the Silver Bullet Band, and while it didnt make the album a hit, it provided a widespread grassroots following across the country. The touring paid off in 1976, when Live Bullet, a double album recorded in Detroit, became a hit, spending over three years on the U.S. charts and going gold; the album would eventually go quadruple platinum.

The groundswell behind Live Bullet sent Segers next studio album, Night Moves (1976), into the Top Ten early in 1977. Night Moves became a blockbuster, generating the hit singles Night Moves, Mainstreet, and Rock & Roll Never Forgets. Stranger in Town, released in the summer 1978, was just as successful, featuring the hits Still the Same, Hollywood Nights, Weve Got Tonite, and Old Time Rock & Roll. Stranger in Town confirming his status as one Americas most popular rockers. Segers next album, 1980s Against the Wind, became his first number one album and all of its big hits — Fire Lake, Against the Wind, Youll Accompny Me — were ballads. The live album Nine Tonight continued his multi-platinum success in 1981, selling three million copies and peaking at number three.

Seger returned with The Distance in 1982. The Distance was the first album since Seven to be recorded with the addition of session musicians, which caused guitarist Abbott to quit the band in frustration. Over the course of the next decade, the membership of the Silver Bullet Band shifted constantly. While The Distance featured Shame on the Moon, his biggest hit single to date, its sales plateaued at a million copies, suggesting that his popularity was beginning to level off. Seger also began to drastically reduce his recording and touring schedules — he only released one other album, 1986s Like a Rock, during the 80s. Like a Rock and its supporting tour were both successes, paving the way for Shakedown, a song taken from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II, to become Segers lone number one hit in 1987. Four years after its release, he returned with The Fire Inside. Although the album went platinum and reached the Top Ten, it only appealed to Segers devoted following, as did 1995s Its a Mystery, which became his first album since Live Bullet to fail to go platinum, leveling off at gold status. In 2006, after an 11-year hiatus, Seger released Face the Promise.
