This remastered version of ATW is the best recording of the album you'll find, no question about that.
Simply put, "Against The Wind" contains Seger's four best ballads: "Against The Wind," "You'll Accomp'ny Me" (the only post-1950 song to effectively use elision), "Fire Lake," and, above all, "No Man's Land." The latter, about "rid[ing] an ever-changing wave / That never seems to crest," is a big-time love song in disguise.
The song 'Against The Wind' is my second favorite song of all time, sometimes my very favorite, in my more reflective moments.

Although the plot itself was interesting, the descriptive sexual exploits in the book made it almost repulsive and, in my opinion, verging on pornography.
