The Bob Seger System - 1968 - Ramblin' Gamblin' Man
Robert Clarke Seger is an American rock musician and singer-songwriter. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as The Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the "System" from his recordings, and he continued to strive for national success with other various bands. In 1973 he put together "The Silver Bullet Band," an evolving group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful. In 1976, he achieved national fame with two albums, the live record Live Bullet, and the studio record Night Moves. On his studio albums he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, appearing on several of Seger's best selling singles and albums. The second single from The Bob Seger System was "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man". Predictably it was a smash in Michigan, but it also became Seger's first national hit, peaking at #17. The song's success led to the release of an album of the same title in 1969. The Ramblin' Gamblin' Man album reached #62 on the Billboard pop albums chart. 01 - Ramblin' Gamblin Man 02 - Tales Of Lucy Blue 03 - Ivory 04 - Gone 05 - Down Home 06 - Train Man 07 - White Wall 08 - Black Eyed Girl 09 - 2+2= 10 - Doctor Fine 11 - The Last Song (Love Needs To Be Loved) LINK
