As he'd been touring the States constantly since the late '60s, Bob Seger decided to take a well-deserved rest after the completion of dates in support of his chart-topping 1980 album, AGAINST THE WIND. On his next studio release, 1982's THE DISTANCE, Seger sounds reinvigorated, picking up his career exactly where he left off, with a mix of working class rock & roll and reflective ballads.
While THE DISTANCE is a more polished effort than his raw and rocking '70s hits, signaling Seger's future direction, it features some of his best work. Individual highlights include the rocker "Making Thunderbirds," as well as "Roll Me Away," "Shame on the Moon," and "Little Victories."
