Allmusic / Biography by Greg Prato
Three bands were the undisputed arena rock kings of the early '80s - Styx, Journey, and REO Speedwagon - yet all weren't overnight success stories (in fact, each group began pursuing different musical styles originally - prog rock, fusion, and straight-ahead hard rock, respectively, before transforming slowly into chart-topping mainstream rockers). REO Speedwagon first formed in 1968, via a pair of University of Illinois students, keyboardist Neal Doughty and drummer Alan Gratzer. After graduation, the group signed on with then-unknown manager Irving Azoff (who would later guide the careers of such multi-platinum acts as the Eagles and Steely Dan), which led to the outfit building a devoted following in the Midwest due to nonstop touring. By the early '70s, Doughty and Gratzer had welcomed aboard guitarist Gary Richrath, who would soon prove to be the group's spark plug (and one of rock's more underrated players), in addition to bassist Gregg Philbin and singer Terry Luttrell. It was this lineup to be featured on the quintet's 1971 self-titled debut recording for Epic Records. The debut failed to break REO through to the mainstream, as the band's future was thrust into uncertainty shortly thereafter, when Luttrell left the band. Newcomer Kevin Cronin got the gig, he was a folksinger/guitarist beforehand, with little to no experience fronting a loud rock & roll outfit. The Cronin-led lineup appeared to be headed in the right direction though, judging from 1972's R.E.O. T.W.O., but the other members grew impatient with their slow progress toward a commercial breakthrough, and gave Cronin his walking papers. Up next as REO's frontman was Mike Murphy, whose debut with the band, 1974's Ridin' the Storm Out, was their first album to chart on Billboard and spawned a concert standard with the rocking title track. Murphy stayed onboard for a couple of more releases - 1974's Lost in a Dream and 1975's This Time We Mean It - but neither managed to push REO to the next level. Once more, a frontman change was required, and instead of searching for a fresh new face, REO welcomed back Cronin. The move paid off almost immediately, as REO found their niche by streamlining their sound and focusing on melodic rockers aimed at radio, as well as power ballads aimed at teenage girls' hearts. Released in 1976, R.E.O. signaled the beginning of the veteran group's winning streak, as both 1977's Live: You Get What You Play For and 1978's You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish were REO's first to earn gold and platinum certification. Another live album, Live Again, was also issued in 1978, followed up a year later by another gold-certified hit, Nine Lives. Although REO was slowly inching their way to big-time success, no one (not even the band) could have predicted the massive hit that their next album turned out to be, Hi Infidelity. Issued at the tail end of 1980, it became one of 1981's biggest albums - spawning one of the best-known power ballads of all time, "Keep on Loving You," as well as such popular rock radio hits as "Don't Let Him Go" and "Take It on the Run." Hi Infidelity would eventually go on to sell more than nine million copies - catapulting REO to arena-headlining status. REO Speedwagon continued to score further hit albums (1982's Good Trouble, 1984's Wheels Are Turnin') and singles ("Keep the Fire Burnin'," the number one hit power ballad "Can't Fight This Feeling," etc.), but the hits dried up shortly thereafter. Issued in 1987, Life as We Know It managed to go gold, but their fans' sudden disinterest coupled with turmoil between certain bandmembers led to the exit of both Richrath and Gratzer by the end of the decade. REO opted to soldier on, however, with replacement members Dave Amato (ex-Ted Nugent, guitar) and Bryan Hitt (ex-Wang Chung, drums) in tow, as their 14-track 1988 compilation The Hits proved to be a steady seller over the years. Further underappreciated studio releases followed, such as 1990's The Earth, a Small Man, His Dog and a Chicken and 1996's Building the Bridge. With interest at an all-time low, REO was set to pack it up for good, until a sudden wave of renewed interest in classic rock bands of yesteryear began to sweep the U.S. during the late '90s, resulting in REO launching successful co-headlining tours alongside such acts as Styx, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bad Company, among others. The '90s saw the emergence of countless REO compilations, including such titles as The Second Decade of Rock n' Roll: 1981 to 1991, Only the Strong Survive, The Ballads, and a specially priced three-disc set of Live: You Get What You Play For, You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish, and Hi Infidelity. Additionally, further in-concert releases cropped up - Live: Plus, Extended Versions, and a 2001 live set, Arch Allies: Live at Riverport, split 50/50 between REO and touring mates Styx. In a 2001 episode of VH1's Behind the Music series that focused on REO Speedwagon, Cronin and Richrath cleared up any misconceptions of ill will existing between either camp and voiced approval of a possible reunion in the future. When REO returned to the studio later in the 2000s, however, it was without Richrath. Find Your Own Way Home, the band's first studio album of new songs in more than ten years, featured Cronin along with founding member Neal Doughty on keyboards, longtime bassist Bruce Hall, and '80s additions Amato and Hitt. This lineup also released an unabashed record of Christmas songs in 2009, titled Not So Silent Night.

Группа «REO Speedwagon» была основана в далеком 1968 году двумя студентами Иллинойского Университета, Нилом Даути (клавишные) и Аланом Гратцером (ударные). По окончании вуза парни познакомились с неизвестным тогда еще менеджером Ирвином Азоффом (впоследствии прославившимся своей работой с «Eagles» и «Steely Dan»), который организовал первые гастроли команды по Среднему Западу. В начале 70-х к Алану и Нилу присоединились гитарист Гэри Ричрат, басист Грегг Филбин и певец Терри Латтрелл. Особо ценным приобретением являлся Ричрат, с появлением которого банда вместо каверов взялась за собственный материал. В 1971 году этот состав выпустил на «Epic Records» свой дебютный альбом. Первый виниловый блин вышел комом, и расстроенный Латтрелл поспешил свалить в тень. Его сменил фолковый певец и гитарист Кевин Кронин, практически не имевший опыта работы с громким рок-н-роллом. Вторая пластинка оказалась ненамного лучше первой и жаждавшие быстрой славы «вагонники» указали Кевину на дверь. Следующим фронтменом «REO Speedwagon» стал Майк Мерфи, дебютировавший на альбоме «Ridin’ The Storm Out». Этот диск стал первым релизом группы, попавшим в биллбордовские чарты (171-е место), но «RS» продолжали топтаться на месте. Мерфи поучаствовал в записи еще двух альбомов, однако так и не смог вывести команду на качественно новый уровень. Решив вновь сменить вокалиста, команда почему-то вернула в свои ряды Кронина, и как оказалось не зря. Как раз в этот период «REO Speedwagon» нашли свою нишу, переориентировавшись с прямолинейного харда на мелодичные рокешники и пауэр-баллады, так нравившиеся девушкам. В результате альбом 1976 года уже пользовался повышенным спросом, а следующие две пластинки получили платиновый статус. Успеху так же способствовал тот факт, что начиная с концертника «You Get What You Play For» музыканты сами стали заниматься продюсированием своих работ. В 1978-м в составе случилась очередная замена, и место бас-гитариста занял Брюс Холл. Хотя альбом «Nine Lives» (последний с довольно жестким саундом) также хорошо продавался, ничто не предвещало выхода такого супербоевика, каким оказался диск 1980 года «Hi Infidelity». Работа содержала мощные хиты «Keep on Loving You», «Don’t Let Him Go» и «Take it on the Run», в течение 1981 года постоянно звучавшие в эфире. В чартах эти песни провели 65 недель, причем 32 из них - в горячей десятке. В итоге было продано свыше девяти миллионов экземпляров «Hi Infidelity», а «REO Speedwagon» приобрели статус хедлайнеров. Следующие два альбома закрепили успех коллектива хитами «Keep the Fire Burnin», «Can’t Fight this Feeling», «One Lonely Night» и «I Do’ Wanna Know». Впрочем, к 1987 году в творчестве команды наметился спад, и диск «Life As We Know It» не содержал достойных композиций. В коллективе начались разборки, в результате которых команду покинули Ричрат и Гратцер. Новыми участниками проекта стали гитарист Дэйв Амато, ранее работавший с Тедом Ньюджентом и ударник Брайан Хитт (экс-«Wang Chung»), однако их появление не решило проблему падения спроса на продукцию «вагонников». Диск «The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog And A Chicken» еле-еле зацепился за конец второй сотни «Billboard», и после этого контракт с «Epic» был расторгнут. Выпустив на небольшом лейбле «Priority/Rhythm Safari» еще один безрадостный альбом, группа забросила студийную работу и в последующие годы принялась штамповать всевозможные сборники. В начале нового тысячелетия вышли также два концертника, и только в 2007-м «REO Speedwagon» удосужились побаловать своих поклонников свежим материалом.

Allmusic / Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
REO Speedwagon built their audience through constant touring. Often, their live shows were more exciting than their records, which is what makes You Get What You Play For, a live run-through of their greatest hits, one of their better records of the era.
