Reo Speedwagon

The last two CD's by Reo Speedwagon were 2007 and 2009. The 2007 cd was "Find Your Own Way Home" for those of us fans, this was not a disappointment in my opinion.  There were several very good songs on that cd, well worth the low price at your local Walmart.

The 2009 release was a christmas cd entitled "Not So Silent Night" .  Not something that Reo Speedwagon would be thought of doing but was well done. We played some of the songs on air this past holiday season.

If you're a big Reo Speedwagon fan, then I recommend both cds. However, if you're nut a huge fan then stick with "Find Your Own Way Home".

Something you may not have known about Reo Speedwagon. They took their name from the Reo Speed Wagon, a flatbed truck and fire engine. It was manufactured by the REO Motor Car Company. The R. E. O. are the initials of the company's founder Ransom Eli Olds who also founded Oldsmobile that was once a division of GMC.

Reo formed in 1967, growing in popularity through the 1970's, hitting its peak in the 80's with hits like; Keep on Loving You, Can't Fight This Feeling, Take It On The Run, Keep The Fire Burning, Time For Me To Fly and many others.

I actually saw them in concert 3 times, each with Survivor as the opening band. Both put on a very awesome show.  The best concerts I ever went to during the 80's. Well worth the cost of tickets, every time I went. If they come to an arena near you go see them live. You wont regret it.
