4.0 out of 5 stars Bob's Best pre-Bullet Album, December 14, 2002
This review is from: Beautiful Loser (Audio CD)
"Beautiful Loser" was the last album Bob Seger recorded before hooking up with the Silver Bullet Band and finally breaking through to mass popularity after spending the better part of a decade laboring as a relative unknown. Five songs from this 1975 release would appear on "Live Bullet" a year later, the album that was the springboard from Seger's leap to the big time.

The backing band is credited as the "Muscle Shoals Rythm Section," and they give Seger strong backing for his excellent voice on what is mostly a batch of mid-tempo rock numbers. The highlights include "Katmandu," which sounds like it should have been a classic rockabilly number from the late 50s, the ballads "Jody Girl" and "Fine Memory," as well as "Travelin' Man" and "Beautiful Loser," recorded as seperate tracks here but which would be combined so memorably on the live album. Only a couple of obvious filler songs and the album's brief length (9 tunes, just over 30 minutes) keep it out of 5 star territory.

Overall, a strong set of songs from a vetrean journeyman rocker who was on the cusp of stardom when it was released.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Seger's best lp's., April 6, 2000
This review is from: Beautiful Loser (Audio CD)
This compilation was Bob Seger's nationwide, commercial breakout. Most Michigan natives were familiar with Seger long before this record came out. I love the entire album. I like the studio versions of all of the tracks that were redone for Live Bullet because the live versions were burned into our memories due to years of FM airplay. My personal favs are Black Night and Nutbush City Limits. This is a class album which I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Stirring Album With an Amateur Touch, April 10, 2003
By Bud (Seminole, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beautiful Loser (Audio CD)
Though he was already somewhat of a veteran of the rock and roll world, Bob Seger's 1975 effort "Beautiful Loser" packs an amateurish punch that is as effective as it is genuine. With the aid of long-times allies the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, and the blossoming, soon-to-be infamous Silver Bullet Band, Seger found himself just a step away from stardom with his pair of breakthroughs "Night Moves" and "Live Bullet." But before that could happen, "Beautiful Loser" had to become the stepping stone.
The amateur-styled writing and recording are extremely useful in displaying the pure rock and roll feelings evident in tracks like the radio favorite 'Katmandu' and a cover of Tina Turner's 'Nutbush City Limits.' However, some of Bob Seger's most realistic and stirring points of view are found with the desperation of 'Jody Girl' and 'Sailing Nights,' the childlike calling of 'Momma,' and the lessons of the title track and 'Travelin' Man.'
Though slightly overlooked, "Beautiful Loser" is probably the most renowned of Bob Seger's pre-fame recordings, opposed to other obscure albums as "Noah," "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" or "Smokin' OP's." But it is still one of Seger's finest collections, if not one that should be held apart from his more popular recordings, as it is so purely genuine and subtle the result is just plain stirring.
