    Some perspective: I was a teenager when this was playing. I would never have been able to go back 50 years to find music I could totally feel and enjoy, like you are able to do now, going back 50 years and finding gold like this. We truly lived in a great era of music innovation.

    High energy Banger! Gary is scorching that guitar and Neal has his own carnival going on the organ!
    This is also my favorite REO song. Growing up in Chicago, REO wasn't exactly a home town band (they were from Champagne) but we claimed them as an Illinois band. I was fortunate enough to see them when I was a high school senior, just after this album came out - we were sitting in a side balcony and watched over Neal's shoulder while he played that B3! Woot!

  • @philstone3859
    @philstone3859 6 месяцев назад +2

    Not only is Kevin playing the piano here, he actually taught himself to play the acoustic piano in order to write the song. (He had been the rhythm guitarist before this.)
    I would love for you to dive into the double-live album "You Get What You Play For", because as fine as REO is on the studio versions, the reason the label stayed with them through all the changing vocalists and albums that didn't sell was because they were a *KILLER* live band. You think Gary Richrath plays an amazing guitar? Wait until you hear him live. And live shows make you appreciate what a great drummer Alan Gratzer is, because he never lets the energy flag. (Alan retired in 1987. His replacement, Brian Hitt, is pretty good, but he tends to get languid. Gratzer never does.)
    Plus since the live album came before this, the only song on it that you have heard is "Ridin' the Storm Out".
    Start at the beginning with "Like You Do" and just keep going all the way through to "Golden Country" (my favorite) at the end. UNSTOPPABLE.

And one of their lesser known albums came right after the "...Tuna Fish" album..."Nine Lives"... it wasn't nearly a successful, but has some gems... and was recorded with a "live in the studio" sound. Try "Heavy On Your Love" and "Back On the Road Again", which actually features bassist Bruce Hall on vocals... and it rocks!

I also new a phenomenal guitar player in the area who worked out a lot of Gary Richrath's guitar solo, that Gary used in Flying Turkey Trot. The band came together at the University of Illinois in Champaign / Urbana IL. Good stuff, but there were a lot of amazing bands getting a lot of radio time back then. We (Central Illinois young folk, at the time ha ha) were all just proud that one of our local jam bands made it into radio air time across the country.
