Album Review
Just the good ol' boys, back before the controversial (love him or loathe him) Kevin Cronin made REO top-heavy with ballads. Curly crooner Cronin did provide some smooth yin to fiery axe-kicker Gary Richrath's rough yang, so this platter drops some rather faceless barroom boogie. But unsung keyboardist Neal Doughty's chops are as sharp as ever, and REO would salvage the smoking "Sophisticated Lady" and the sleazy anthem "157 Riverside Avenue" for their never-ending live oeuvre. Most songs are good, hard bits with nary a trace of Hi Infidelity's infectious bubble rock. You know the amount of subtlety expected from a band that titles a tune "Prison Women" (later appearing on the premium Jailhouse Rock: Hits from the Big House collection). Like most old-timers, a return to these earthy roots would no doubt help REO out in their latter, uninspired years. ~ Whitney Z. Gomes, Rovi
Customer Reviews
Original REO Speedwagon
The first REO album produced brings back memories of growing up in the midwest when no one else in the country had even heard of REO. One of my favorite Reo albums. This was before Kevin Cronin became the singer (REO TWO) and the band became more commercial. Good tight playing on all tracks. 157 Riverside Avenue is worth a listen. If you have never heaard this entire album before, it is worth hearing. REO at their beginning. GREAT!!!!!
I was there when R.E.O. performed at Eastern Illinois University
R. E. O. Speedwagon gave an impromptu concert at the EIU football field in the early 70's when this album first came out. The neighbors complained that they were too loud. I took my girlfriend (now wife) to the free concert. What great memories!
