REO Speedwagon On Track

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, 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 finally – 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 featured on the soundtracks to scores of films and television programs, including Supernatural and Ozark.

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, while also providing a glimpse of some of the band members’ outside projects, creating a comprehensive companion to the music of this American institution.
