SHAKEDOWN! - Bob Seger Intensity! Dazzomatic

I have truly come to admire, respect and enjoy the two-octave Bob Seger (with or without the Silver Bullet Band). He has a raspy raw voice, and has done some great dancefloor or driving-over-the-legal-speed-limit music. I am crazy about "Katmandu,"Rock And Roll Never Forgets," the very sentimental "Night Moves" [a song that puts me into a deeply nostalgic mood], and some others.

My favorite Seger song shook me up with its electric intensity (it had a Tower-Of-Power "What Is Hip?" non-stop energy to it) when I first heard it in the Eddie Murphy movie classic "48 Hours". The song never received enough airplay or recognition.

Click on it. Play it loud. Try (I dare you) to stay still in your seat. Feel that Hammond organ intensity build up, an the explosive hook (Caucasians of royal breeding often refer to the "hook" as the "Refrain" -- but that's just semantics -- it's about the music).

Forward this post to every one you know who needs a kick in the pants or a jumpstart at work. I'm serious. Do It!

Image via WackypediaBob Seger screams two octaves worth of "Katmandu" -- a surfing song if I've ever heard one. Hard-driving, straight-ahead, rock n' roll, with tinklin' barroom piano, bent harmonica, cliched razzy sax solo, and loads of heavily reverb-enhanced guitar.

Ringing open E-stringing! Listen for every trite boogie-woogie theme that you've ever heard... this song has them all...it's like the Smithsonian of 'ya can't go wrong' licks.

Enjoy this. Stuttering and all. Thanks to Bob Seger. It was my g-g-g-generation, too.  And remember --- Rock And Roll Never Forgets.

This song is pure fun. Click on the hyperlink, or on the video player. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Dig DAZZ? Do. Please.
