NIGHT MOVES was Bob’s ninth studio album and the first to credit his SILVER BULLET BAND on the album cover even though they only backed him on four of the album’s nine songs.. The other five were backed by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. Night Moves is a true story about Seger’s Italian girlfriend (Rene Andretti) when he was 19 and she was 20. Back fabric: Plush maroon velvet But eventually the girl’s boyfriend returned and left Seger broken-hearted. As a young songwriter phenom, Bob Seger told an interviewer that many of his songs were written to impress the girl.
