A Hidden Gem!

Unless you grew up in Detroit You've probably never heard of this album. This was Seger's band (The Bob Seger System) in 1970



Why this recording is not a staple of the classic rock airwaves is a mystery. Every song on this album (or CD if you can find one) is top notch Bob Seger hard rock. This particular group smoked!



The Best cuts are Teachin Blues,Lucifer,River Deep Mountian High, and Highway Child.



Teachin Blues flat out honks! I defy anyone to listen to this song once without an instant recue. Segers voice on this album was at it's ballsy best. this cut will flatten almost anything!

a two minute wonder!



Lucifer is another stomper. Great lyrics tremendous beat and rhythem. Also an instant repeat tune.



River Deep Mountain High is the cats meow. Recorded live (though one writer claims that the crowd noise was added in - I doubt it) this band live just hands down kicked some serious ass!



This is protoype classic early hard rock. Fantastic vocals,scorching leads,and thundrous drums. This jam demands top volume and throbing eardrums after. A totally overlooked classic.



Again why this album wasn't a smash back then remains a mystery. I would chalk it up to Seger only being a regional act at the time and the competition-How many other great albums came out in 1970? Hundreds?



Beg,buy,or steal a copy of Mongrel you won't regret it



CRANK IT UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then buy some new speakers!

Bob Seger System "Mongrel"

Before The Silver Bullet Band, Bob Seger was already rocking with the same high energy. This CD is a MUST for every Bob Seger fan. My favorite tunes are "Lucifer", "Teaching Blues" & "Leanin On My Dream".

Must have for every bob seger fan

This album is definitely one of bob seger's best albums. Every song on it rocks and I believe it's his hardest rock album. If you want to buy it, you can get it from record emporium, which is www.recodemporium.com for a low price of $19.99 total including shipping. The site updates ofton, usually once a week.
