The 50th anniversary of Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band's "Live Bullet" album is being celebrated by the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: "It took me twelve years to make that album Live Bullet," Bob Seger solemnly emphasized to me in this classic rock interview marking that release from Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in April 1976.
