It is his first studio album since Face The Promise in 2006.

“I feel really good about this record,” Seger said in a statement quoted on Rolling Stone. “This album touches on how I think a lot of us feel about finding our place in a more complicated world – from how we appreciate things as simple and pure as love, to navigating through the corruption and violence that permeates the news. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about a variety of subjects.”

The story also says the album will include a cover of Wilco and Billy Bragg’s “California Stars” from Mermaid Avenue, based on lyrics by Woody Guthrie.
