REMASTER / REMASTER ROCK CANDY / REO SPEEDWAGON

REO SPEEDWAGON – Wheels Are Turnin’ [Rock Candy remastered]

Many of you have been asking for some old Rock Candy releases to complete collections, and here’s one you need in your collection.
REO SPEEDWAGON detonated the charts with their 1980’s ten million selling LP ‘Hi Infidelity’, but the follow up album ‘Good Trouble’ only sold two million copies and failed to produce a top-10 ten hit. Any band would have killed for a performance like that, but REO Speedwagon is an act always aiming for more.
For the next record, the band refocused their skills to produce another killer record and the result was “Wheels Are Turnin’“, reissued by Rock Candy Records in a pristine ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ form.
Kevin Cronin and Co. called some external connoisseurs to help not only in the songwriting, but also collaborating in the ‘concept’ and sound. Among the big cats involved in the craft of the album we find AOR magician Tom Kelly (Toto, Van Stephenson, Survivor, et all) who co-wrote some songs and did backing vocals, Richard Page (Mr. Mister, Pages), Tommy Funderburk (Airplay) and many more, some of them un-credited.
The results were spectacular. “Wheels Are Turnin`”, originally issued in 1984, was an unqualified success…

REO SPEEDWAGON / RICHRATH

RICHRATH Project 3:13 – L.A. Is Mine (2021)

Lead guitarist and songwriter for REO Speedwagon from 1970 until 1989, when Gary Richrath left the band he formed his own group RICHRATH releasing their debut CD ‘Only the Strong Survive’ in 1992. RICHRATH featured the songwriting partnership of Gary and vocalist Michael Jahnz, and they toured together for over a decade playing the album songs plus the ones Gary had written for REO Speedwagon.
Early in this new Century, Gary and Jahnz went separate ways but still friends and with the idea of reforming RICHRATH the band again in the future. So many ans have been waiting and wanting “new” RICHRATH music but since the unfortunate passing of Gary in 2015 they have almost lost hope.
The perfect storm has finally happened this 2021… Jahnz has gathered himself a phenomenal group of talented musicians, dusted off a few never heard before RICHRATH recordings and is releasing “L.A. Is Mine“, now under the moniker RICHRATH Project 3:13.
Not only will you be hearing new Richrath music but, Gary’s magical guitar work is here a again with 3 previously unreleased songs recorded back in the day.
The rest are new originals written by Jahnz, of course, with that ’80s feel & sound in the vein of REO Speedwagon, Tyketto, and more…

REO SPEEDWAGON – The Second Decade of Rock & Roll 1981-1991

As requested, here’s REO SPEEDWAGON “The Second Decade of Rock & Roll 1981-1991“, covering some of the best ’80s rocking material from the band. However it isn’t a Greatest Hits compilation; while there’s some of the band’s studio hits from the second half of the Eighties, most are live recordings showcasing how good REO sounded at the time.
On many songs we have the great Dave Amato delivering hot guitar licks – on stage the man fly on the fretboard – and this is the only REO collection to include their ’82 hit “Keep the Fire Burnin'” preformed live.
The album also includes the rare ’89 Reggae Version’ of “Keep on Loving You” and standout live captures of “Take It on the Run,” “Roll with the Changes,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” and “I Do’wanna Know”.
Highly Recommended
