Stolen Song Of The Day 2/25/2013: The Bob Seger System - "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man"

Today's SOTD was stolen, again, from Rod Strychnine. Perhaps you should follow his Facebook feed. He's got an incredible batting average for posting great songs. "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" was a minor hit for Bob Seger, and is far and away my favorite song in his catalog. Too many good things happening in this one, starting with the opening drum groove, continuing with the organ riff, and channeling through to Seger's youthful but grounded singing. (Give or take what you hear on classic rock radio: Seger's always been a great singer.) This song makes me stupid with admiration.
