The 40 million record-selling band has recently released their 15th album, Find Your Own Way Home. REO Speedwagon is ready to hit the road, barnstorming radio stations in the spring; playing studio sets and delivering the first single, the emotionally-charged power ballad “I Needed to Fall.” 

2007 looks to be a major comeback year for a band that never really went away.  While other bands went on hiatus when they hit rough times, REO has toured every year since its inception in 1971. They love listening to their fans sing along to such hits as, “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “Keep On Loving You,” as well as the classics “Roll With the Changes,” “Keep Pushin’,” “Time for Me to Fly,” “Riding the Storm Out,” and “Take It On the Run.”

“We love to play live,” says Hall, “it just keeps getting better.” 

With the release of Find Your Own Way Home, the band feels its energy rekindled and its purpose renewed.  This is not an ending at all; rather a new beginning.  Kevin Cronin (lead vocals, guitar), Bruce Hall (bass), Neal Doughty (keyboards), Dave Amato (lead guitar) and Bryan Hitt (drums) have something to prove.
