Voice of America: A Rock and Roll Legend's Long-Awaited Return

Face The Promise, Bob Seger's First Studio Album in 11 Years, Scheduled for September 12th Release

LOS ANGELES, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 12th, Capitol Records will release Face The Promise, Bob Seger's first studio album in 11 years. Face The Promise opens a masterful new chapter in a songbook that has captured the dreams, ideals, yearnings and truths of the American experience for a remarkable forty years. The album's lead-off single is entitled "Wait For Me."

Bob Seger is universally acknowledged by fans and musicians as one of the few truly defining voices of American music. His vivid portraits of working class lives convey the hope and the heartbreak implicit in the American dream. Face The Promise marks Seger's return in classic form: urgent, honest, rousing, timeless -- a new and compelling testament to rock and roll's undying redemptive power.

Seger has sold nearly 50 million albums in his career. Among his eleven platinum and seven multi-platinum awards, Against the Wind, Night Moves and Stranger in Town have each been RIAA-certified for over 5 million album sales in the U.S., as has his massively-influential 1976 breakthrough classic, Live Bullet. The 1994 Greatest Hits collection has sold over 7 million copies, in an unbroken 600-week run in the upper reaches of the Billboard Pop Catalog chart. He is a Grammy winner ("Against the Wind," Best Rock Performance by a Group or Duo, 1980) and a 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

Observed through the eyes of the outsider and the everyman, the reveler and the romantic, the songs of Bob Seger exemplify the classic in classic rock: "Against The Wind," "Turn The Page," "Rock And Roll Never Forgets," "Night Moves," "Katmandu," "Old Time Rock and Roll" and "Beautiful Loser," to name just a few.
