Brand New Morning
Brand New Morning is the fourth studio album by American rock singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). The album is a stripped down, acoustic album. This album has never been reissued on a legitimate U.S. CD release by Capitol. This album also marked Seger's four-year departure from Capitol. Seger's next album with Capitol would be Beautiful Loser, released in April 1975. Despite being a fan favourite due to the different atmosphere it has compared to other Seger records, Seger has said it will never be reissued again. Some critics speculate it's because Seger is singing solo and acoustic without a band, a more intimate style than his other releases. Since the album was only released in its original vinyl format, it has become extremely rare. However, the song "Railroad Days" is considered a fan favourite and has received some airplay later in Seger's career on classic rock radio despite there not being any singles released from the album. Seger once joked in an interview, saying his only copy of it is "buried in his backyard."-"Wikipedia"

In light of Seger's past prior to Brand New Morning and the records that followed it, it's easy to see why he's disowned it, since it's no rock & roll album -- it's a singer/songwriter album. here are no classics here (though the title track, "Maybe Today," "Sometimes," and "Railroad Days" are all very good), but the charm of the record is hearing Seger consciously working on his craft. He's occasionally too earnest, or a little precious, yet it's an endearing transitional album.

Brand New Morning is a an anomaly in his career. So much so that it has never been reissued in any format, and is disowned by the singer himself, remarking to a reporter once that his only copy is “buried in [his] backyard”. But hey, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
