      The ultimate middle Illinois band: not Chicago, Corn fields! (SO much a midwest accent.) I heard these guys non-stop in the St. Louis area. (A lot of Head East as well, but not as much.) This and Riding the Storm out were staple radio rockers. Then they got a little poppier.

    Gary Richrath had a real knack for finding great tones and riffs to match the songs, and this one is surely one of his finest works! I love the way his guitar volume swells in with just the right amount of feedback and distortion… and multi tracked solo is phenomenal. He combined his Les Paul and overdriven Marshalls with the softer vocals and sounds of the rest of the band and together they invented the power ballad (“Keep on Loving You”).

    I've been riding the storm out with REO since the early 70's.
    Gary Richrath's guitar was REO in my opinion. RIP Gary 🙏

    Like other kids, when I was a teenager in the late 1970s, I got into arguments/debates with my mom, who said that rock' n roll was just noise and that it wasn't actual music. I made her listen to this song, and she had a complete change of heart. After hearing all of the instruments, like the piano and organ, she agreed that it was music-good music. 45 years later, she and I still talk about that.

    This used to be a song that made me check my speedometer when I was driving. When this was on the next thing I knew I was driving 80 miles per hour. Pure adrenaline when I was 18, way back in the day. Plus, the song is so positive in nature.

    "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can’t Tuna Fish" and "High Infidelity" are two of the best album names ever. The music contained within each of them is pretty damn good too!

    I was a teenager when this came out - during the course of my life - whenever I was on the brink of a great new adventure - I'd play this song for a solid week. I trotted it out a dozen times in my life - when I turned some pages. If you can get past the music - the lyrics pack the punch - but together - they are a great combination of high energy and high expectations of a bright new future. This song is an old great friend.

    Hands down one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm always a huge fan of songs that are able to put a lot of positivity and energy into their sound. Even if the topic is something dark or serious. ESPECIALLY when it's dark or serious. To me being able to sing a song about hardships, and do it defiantly, with joy in your voice, is the ultimate expression of "fuck you, you won't break me" in music.

    Great Band. Gary Richrath RIP. They performed a benefit concert for tornado victims in the area. Richrath rejoined the band for the concert, couple of years later he got sick and passed away. Saw them in concert, full of energy upbeat from beginning to end. They are a fun upbeat group, they have their share of ballads, but songs like Riding the Storm Out (LIVE VERSION), 157 Riverside Ave. Just a fun concert to go to.

    First concert. First boyfriend. 1979. Blown away. REO has so many good songs but as an almost 60 year old now this song means the most. Change is hard. Change always happens. But lord knows I’ve fought it all my life. Always a song I knew I needed to learn from. Gary’s guitar. Kevin’s unique vocals. And yes drums are awesome and don’t like keyboards a lot but they fit perfectly here. Good memories of when I was young and blown away by the whole concert experience

    I knew the two of you would like this song. This is one of my favorite REO songs! The entire song is full of energy; you can't help but move to this song. My favorite part of the song is the keyboard solo, and also how the start of the guitar solo slides right into the end of the keyboard solo. Next on your list of REO songs should be, "Back On the Road Again."
