4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, hard-rocking early-70s effort by Seger, 28 Mar 2009

By	Docendo Discimus (Vita scholae) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

1972's "Smokin' O.P.'s" is almost a cover album, really. Bob Seger, a singer-songwriter who mostly records his own material, "smokes other people's songs" here (that's supposedly the idea behind the odd title), including "Bo Diddley", Stephen Stills' "Love The One You're With", and Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock".

He also covers himself, though, reinterpreting the old Bob Seger & the Last Heard-number "Heavy Music", and adding one new song to the mix, the 2�-minute ballad "Someday". And while this may seem like pretty standart Seger-fare (several of these songs show up on his live albums), "Smokin'" isn't really all that standart when you look a little bit closer.
Seger is backed by energetic, hard-hitting drummer David Teegarden, guitarist Michael "Monk" Bruce, and not least by organist and pianist Skip Knape, who also plays organ pedal bass, and the arrangements, which are dominated by crunchy guitar riffs, pounding drums and Knape's organ, are more loose and and soul-flavoured and even jam band-like than most of Seger's albums of crisp, tight rock n' roll numbers. The six-minute "Bo Diddley" rides along strongly on a very prominent, pulsating organ, and that exceptionally well-utilized organ, in tandem with Seger's unusually spontaneus and improvisational vocals, is a big part of what makes this album so realatively different from most of his other long players.

Seger turns "If I Were A Carpenter" into a passionate, plaintive soul number, and duets with singers Pam Todd and Crystal Jenkins on "Love The One You're With". He makes a totally convincing hard rocker out of the traditional folk of "Jesse James", and breathes new life into Bobby 'Blue' Bland's old single "Turn On Your Love Light". And while I'll freely admit to not being a huge Bob Seger fan, he does a very, very good job with almost all of these "O.P.'s".
I think Seger's live albums in particular are terrific, but most of his studio albums are pretty uneven in my view. Of all the Seger albums I've heard, "Smokin' O.P.'s" is probably the one that comes closest to replicating the sound of Bob Seger in concert, rocking with fiery abandon and letting the musicians stretch out and flex their muscles.
And Seger sounds like he is having fun, too. This is a really fine album, one of his very best studio efforts, and one of his most energetic for sure. Definitely recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey Bo Diddley, 9 Nov 2009

By	Peter N. Ingleby - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The only reason this doesn't get five stars is, it isn't long enough. That said it comes from a time when 35-40 mins was the norm, so PLEASE don't let that put your off if your thinking of buying this. It's worth every penny. Just be sure that you've warned everybody else in the house and the neighbours that you are going to rock there socks off! Play it LOUD and enjoy Bob Seger at his very best, with probably the best version of Bo Diddley ever recorded.
