First off, let me just say that I actually love both this album and its cover. The Seger System's debut is a psychedelic rock 'n roll classic well worth a-checkin' out. But still….the disconnect between image and title is striking. I can almost hear Bob in a bar somewhere, "You know baby, I'm a ramblin' gamblin' man, like a nun touching herself on an ice-floe…"
Thankfully, Bob explains it all on the back cover:
"The title of this album up until 3 days ago was 'Tales of Lucy Blue'. At that time I realized that Lucy Blue is Ramblin' Gamblin' Man. Thank you Doctor Fine!"
No, thank YOU, Doctor Seeger! You are now officially licensed to perform brain surgery.
