Sixty-five years after making his recording debut, Bob Seger is giving fans something they never expected: new music.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has announcedFace the Promise: Expanded Edition, a remastered and expanded version of his 2006 comeback album that includes four previously unreleased songs. Due out Sept. 18, the collection marks the first time Face the Promise will be available on vinyl and streaming services, while also unveiling new tracks from the legendary singer-songwriter's vault.
Leading the expanded release is "Little Jane," which has already been made available as a preview of the collection. The reissue also includes three additional previously unheard songs, "Time," "Red Eye to Memphis," and "Let Me Try," giving fans their first taste of new Seger material in years. The album has been newly remastered by longtime collaborator Robert Vosgien and features updated artwork, a gatefold vinyl package, and a 12-page book.
Originally released in 2006, Face the Promise represented a major milestone in Seger's career.
The album arrived after an 11-year hiatus following 1995's It's a Mystery.
"I'd been doing it for 30 straight years, writing songs, making a record and touring and starting the process right over," Seger said in an interview. "Then I had the kids and [thought], you know, it might be a good time to slow down and watch them grow up — you're never gonna get another chance to see it."
Face the Promise debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 before earning platinum certification just three months later. Its lead single, "Wait for Me," also became a hit, proving that Seger's signature blend of heartland rock and blue-collar storytelling had lost none of its appeal.
The comeback held special significance for Seger himself.
Following his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, he admitted the honor inspired him to return to the studio and make an album worthy of his legacy. The result was one of the strongest-reviewed releases of his later career and a reminder of why classics like "Night Moves," "Against the Wind," "Turn the Page," and "Old Time Rock and Roll" had made him one of America's most beloved rock artists.
Seger's career stretches back to 1961, when he began recording in the Detroit music scene as a teenager before rising to national prominence in the 1970s with landmark albums like Live Bullet and Night Moves. Since then, he has sold more than 75 million records worldwide and become the longest-tenured solo artist in Capitol Records' history.
Although Seger retired from touring in 2019, Face the Promise: Expanded Edition proves there's still more music to discover from one of rock’s greatest storytellers. Sixty-five years after his debut, the legendary songwriter is once again giving fans a reason to press play.
