Once, there were four university students who started a rock band named
after a firetruck. Five and a half decades later, REO Speedwagon are
still going strong, still drawing massive crowds, and, thankfully, still
have no plans to stop. With classic albums like the multi-platinum You
Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish and the ten million-selling Hi
Infidelity, REO conquered America's heartland, then the nation, and
then - as a ten-year 'overnight sensation' - the world. It was the rock
tunes like 'Golden Country' and 'Back on the Road Again' that built
their reputation before the ballads like 'Keep on Loving You' and 'Can't
Fight this Feeling' brought them global fame. REO have sold over 40
million records under their own name and are further featured on the
soundtracks to scores of films and television programs, including
Supernatural and Ozark. The current line-up with the 'new guys' has been
together for more than 30 years. REO Speedwagon - on track shines a
light on the band's lengthy career. This book delves into the tracks on
each of their 16 studio albums, their official live releases, and
several compilations, and provides a glimpse of some of the band
members' outside projects, creating a comprehensive companion to the
music of REO.
