1980 studio album by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Against the Wind American rock singer Bob Seger and his third which credits the Silver Bullet Band. Like many of his albums, about half of the tracks feature the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as backing musicians. It was released in February 1980. It is Seger's only number-one album to date, spending six weeks at the top of the Billboard Top LPsThe Wall [2]
Release [ edit ]
Against the Wind was an immediate commercial success, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart in its third week and remaining there for five weeks behind Pink Floyd's The Wall [3] [4] Recording Industry Association of America in 2003.
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the album Against the Wind and Capitol Records art director Roy Kohara won the Grammy Award for Best Recording Package .[5] [6]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Rock critic Dave Marsh , writing for Rolling Stone Night Moves Night Moves , he won. This is the LP that makes such a victory meaningless ... It makes me sad, and it makes me angry (another emotion that's disappeared here, though it's often fueled Seger's finest work)."[12]
Marsh did concede that on the album "Seger sings fantastically well" and called it a "carefully constructed album." A review in The Boston Phoenix [13]
In a more positive review in the Los Angeles Times , critic Robert Hilburn said the album was "close to [Seger's] earlier works" but represented a "mastering of the form" and that the reflective ballads stood out.[14] John Rockwell of The New York Times called it an "honest, attractive album" and a "nice return to his Night Moves form."[15]
