"I feel really good about this record," says Seger. "This album touches on how I think a lot of us feel about finding our place in a more complicated world - from how we appreciate things as simple and pure as love, to navigating through the corruption and violence that permeates the news. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about a variety of subjects."

The singer will launch a North American tour November 19 in Saginaw, Michigan, with shows scheduled through to February 2015. The J. Geils Band will join Seger as a special guest in select markets.
