Bob Seger offered fans a glimpse of his new album, ‘I knew you When’, on Facebook earlier this week by posting a teaser video featuring five songs from the album: Busload of Faith, I Knew You When, Blue Ridge, Democracy and Gracile.  The album will be available in stores and via streaming services this Friday, November 17^th.  

‘I Knew You When’ finds Seger reflecting back with appreciation on lifelong relationships forged early on in his career, including his long-time friend Glenn Frey who he met the year the album cover photo of Seger was taken.  The album, which he dedicated to Glenn, features other dedications, including Seger’s cover of Lou Reed’s ‘Busload of Faith’ and a timely cover of Leonard Cohen’s Democracy. 

Friday marks Seger’s debut on streaming services Tidal and Pandora where fans will be able to stream the new album and 13 albums from his catalog for the first time on these services.  

‘I Knew You When’ is Seger’s 18^th studio album and first since 2014’s ‘Ride’s Out’. The standard version of the album (10 songs) will be available on 120 gram vinyl and CD.  The deluxe version of the album (13 songs) will be available on CD, digital download and via streaming services Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple Music, iHeart, Napster, Pandora, Slacker, Spotify and Tidal.

With the new album Bob Seger and Capitol mark their 49^th year, extending Seger’s record as the longest tenured solo artist in the storied label’s history.  Seger has been inducted in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame and was honored with Billboard’s “Legend of Live” award at the 12th annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards in 2015 for his significant and lasting impact on the touring industry. 

Bob Seger has earned 13 platinum and 7 multi-platinum RIAA Certified sales awards, including his studio albums and his double live albums. Earlier this year, Seger’s ‘Greatest Hits’ album was certified diamond by the RIAA for achieving 10 million units sold in the U.S.
