Американский музыкант Роберт Кларк Сигер (р. 6 мая 1945), более известный как Боб Сигер, начал свою карьеру в 1961 году. Его первой группой стала детройтская гаражная банда "The Decibels", членом которой также являлся будущий менеджер и продюсер Сигера, Эдди "Панч" Эндрюс. В течение нескольких лет Боб побывал участником и ряда других команд: "The Town Criers", "Doug Brown and the Omens", "The Beach Bums". Наконец, в 1966-м Сигер выпустил свой первый сольный сингл, "East Side Story". Песня стала большим хитом в окрестностях Детройта – тираж пластинки составил 50000 экземпляров, а музыкант получил контракт от "Cameo-Parkway Records". Сигеру удалось выпустить еще несколько региональных шлягеров (включая "Heavy Music" и "Persecution Smith") перед тем как лейбл обанкротился. В 1968-м Боб собрал команду "The Bob Seger System", и, заключив сделку с "Capitol Records", дебютировал с альбомом "Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man". Работа оказалось вполне успешной, а заглавный трек добрался до 17-й строчки "Billboard".
(darkside.ru/band/9911/)Seven was the first Seger album to feature 'The Silver Bullet Band', which he would steadily rely on for the rest of his career. The album gained notorious recognition and is a fan favorite despite its rarity. The very successful tour for this album was kicked off with Seger and his newly formed Silver Bullets as the opening act for Kiss. Kiss asked Seger and the band to support them for a few shows. After seeing the band's first set, they offered Seger the rest of the tour, which gained the band much-needed recognition.
Early vinyl copies of the album featured the word 'contrasts' at the bottom of the cover, leading people to believe the album had two titles. Others believed the album was titled 'Seven Contrasts'. However, Contrasts is the name of the artwork featured on the album. The word in parenthesis is simply a reference to the artwork rather than an actual subtitle or title of the record.
A later bootleg of the album released in the 1980s was entitled Seven Worlds.
Although the album failed to make the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, the single "Get Out of Denver" reached 80. Critics and longtime Seger fans tend to regard the album as a lost classic, much like its predecessor Back in '72. For example, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic retrospectively gave the album 5/5 stars, calling it "one of [Seger's] strongest, hardest-hitting rock records".
Summing up, Erlewine wrote:
Only nine songs, lasting just over a half-hour, but it's one of the most infectious sets Seger ever cut, proving that he wasn't just a dynamite rocker, but he had the songs to match. And, again, it didn't have any success – it didn't even chart, actually. That doesn't change the fact that this is one of his very best albums.
