The down to earth wisdom of Bob Seger’s timeless rock anthems meet the tuneful twang of bluegrass on Silver Bullet Bluegrass, a star-studded tribute album to the Ramblin' Gamblin' Man featuring Larry Cordle, Bo Bice, Carson Peters, and more.

Silver Bullet Bluegrass features 13 Bob Seger classics reinterpreted by some of the finest names in bluegrass music, a collection that will surprise both die-hard Seger fans and bluegrass lovers alike. With a lineup that boasts Bo Bice, Carson Peters, Gary Nichols, Jeff Parker, Josh Shilling, Keith Garrett, Larry Cordle, Robert Hale, Shonna Tucker, Tim Shelton, Tim Stafford, Bill Taylor, and Ward Hayden, the album delivers fresh new versions of some of Seger’s best-loved songs.

American Idol alum Bo Bice kicks things off with a gritty, rock-tinged meets bluegrass take on “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” setting the stage for an album that thrives on reverence for Seger’s sound while showing it in a new light. Carson Peters, known for his electrifying fiddle skills and standout vocals, shines on “Long Twin Silver Line,” the album’s second single release. His fiery performance injects a new kind of life into the track, showcasing his command of the bluegrass tradition while paying homage to the widespread influence of the man who wrote the song. Kentucky’s own Bill Taylor brings his mountain soul to “Roll Me Away." His heartfelt rendition infuses the rock classic with twang and unique phrasing, still keeping the essence of Seger’s original while adding a distinct Appalachian flavor.

Reflecting on his inclusion in this tribute, Taylor expressed genuine affection for Seger’s music, noting, “And what a song. Because I know what it’s like when you need to get away from it all. Sometimes you just gotta do it and to hell with anyone that tries to slow you down.”

Silver Bullet Bluegrass shines a new light on one of America’s most beloved rock stars, a genuine celebration of Bob Seger’s history as seen through the lens of bluegrass, giving fans a fresh perspective on songs they’ve loved for generations. Not only does the album honor Seger’s impressive catalog, it also celebrates the diversity in bluegrass music, proving once again that a great song can transcend genres. It also reminds us that great music always has the power to inspire and unite people from different backgrounds.
