REO Speedwagon - 'R.E.O./T.W.O.' [320k MP3]

R.E.O./T.W.O. is the second LP released by the Illinois based rock band REO Speedwagon. Under the leadership of guitarist Gary Richrath, this album continued the musical direction set on 1971's R.E.O. Speedwagon with Richrath's own classic compositions carrying the record. R.E.O./T.W.O launched REO on its first national tour and presented a more polished production than the band's debut album.

The album introduced Kevin Cronin as vocalist and contributing song writer to the band, replacing Terry Luttrell. Highlights of the album include Richrath's "Golden Country," a compelling political statement with possibly his finest guitar solo as well as "Like You Do." Both songs, as well as Cronin's "Music Man," have stood the test of time and are frequently part of the band's current set list.
