From Bob Seger’s untitled upcoming album, the rock and roller has released (via his website) a new song, his version of “Downtown Train”. Work through the familiarity bred through Rod Stewart’s version, and dig into Seger’s more soulful cut. Took me three listens to start to appreciate the new take on the old song. And Bob still has the pipes…
Hear “Downtown Train”
Seger originally recorded the song in 1989, and pulled it after Stewart had a hit with the Tom Waits song.
