Bob Seger's 'Face The Promise' Hits 20: A Rock Legacy Reimagined

In a bold move to honor its legacy, Capitol/UMe will unleash an expanded edition of Bob Seger's iconic 2006 album, Face The Promise, on September 18. This celebration marks two decades of an album that solidified Seger’s place in the pantheon of rock legends, featuring four brand new bonus tracks that have never seen the light of day on streaming platforms until now.

The expanded edition will not only be available digitally but also in a stunning 2LP black vinyl format, complete with a gatefold jacket and a lavish 12-page booklet. Fans can already feel the anticipation building as they prepare to pre-order this slice of rock history.

Mastered by the legendary Robert Vosgien, who has been Seger’s trusted sonic architect for years, this edition brings back the powerful hits like “Wait For Me” and “Wreck This Heart.” Among the standout tracks is “The Answer’s In The Question,” a heartfelt duet with the remarkable Patty Loveless, who was recently inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame by none other than Seger himself.

Originally unleashed on September 12, 2006, Face The Promise was Seger’s sixteenth studio effort, debuting at an impressive No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and achieving Platinum status within a mere three months, thanks to its raw emotion and rock 'n' roll grit that resonated deeply with fans. This anniversary edition not only serves as a reminder of Seger’s enduring appeal but also as a testament to his songwriting prowess.

A celebrated inductee of both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Seger’s catalog boasts an impressive 13 platinum and 8 multi-platinum RIAA certified sales awards. His Diamond-certified Greatest Hits remains a staple in rock music collections. As Capitol Records’ longest-standing solo artist, Seger’s legacy is one that continues to inspire and resonate within the heart of the American rock scene.
