5.0 out of 5 stars Seger Goes The Distance, July 20, 2001

By	Thomas Magnum (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

After releasing his stellar live album Nine Tonight, Bob Seger came back with the best album of his career, The Distance. The album is full of vivid tales of the common man. "Even Now" is a soaring rocker while "Makin' Thunderbirds" is a pulsating, Detroit flavored shaker that Bonnie Raitt provides backup vocals for. On Against The Wind, Mr. Seger played a number of song with a country flavor. He goes one step further on Rodney Crowell's "Shame On The Moon". The song has a hypnotic piano and great harmonies and moved up to number two on the charts which at the time was his highest charting single. "Love's The Last To Know" is good ballad while "House Behind A House" shakes along. "Roll Me Away" is classic Seger with tales of freedom and a powerful chorus. "Comin' Home" is a tale of redemption while the closer "Little Victories" is a great portrait of the little moments in everyday life where one triumph's over life's obstacles.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Record!!, August 11, 2000

By	B Ardell Young (Camden, SC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently listened to this album for the first time in five years or more and was really impressed with strength of the album. Seven of the nine songs are the type that are not skipped to reach another more favorite song.

The album also features perhaps Seger's best song of his career, "Roll Me Away", and the top notch "Shame On The Moon". The rest of the material is solid rock music that make Seger the best at what he does.

4.0 out of 5 stars Going the Distance, January 20, 2000

By A Customer

Bob Seger made (and makes) some of the most honest music in the history of rock and roll. This album is not his best work but that just makes it twice as good as the normal rock cd, instead of ten times as good. "Shame on the Moon" is a great song and should've been on his Greatest Hits. The think I like about Seger's cds is that you get great songs that never received any airplay. "Little Victories" falls into that category on this release. Great, honest rock.
