Bob Seger’s acclaimed 2006 album Face the Promise is getting an Expanded Edition for its 20th anniversary. The new edition, via Capitol/UMe, arrives September 18, 2026, on CD and as a 2-LP set pressed on “tiger’s eye” vinyl. Both are available to order in the U.S. here.

Available for the first time on streaming services, the Expanded Edition features four bonus tracks: “Time,” “Little Jane,” “Red Eye to Memphis,” and “Let Me Try.”

The vinyl edition features a gatefold jacket and 12-page LP-sized booklet.

Newly remastered by longtime Seger mastering engineer Robert Vosgien, the Expanded Edition includes the singles “Wait for Me” and “Wreck This Heart.”

Among the album’s highlights is “The Answer’s in the Question,” Seger’s duet with Patty Loveless. In 2023, Seger helped induct Loveless into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Originally released on September 12, 2006, Face the Promise marked Seger’s 16th studio album. Acclaimed by critics and embraced by fans, it debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA just three months later.
