Common card · No. 371631

R.E.O. is the sixth studio album by REO Speedwagon, released in 1976. It peaked at number 159 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1976. It marked the return of Kevin Cronin to the band after a four-year absence. Five of the songs ("Keep Pushin", "Any Kind of Love", "(Only A) Summer Love", "(I Believe) Our Time Is Gonna Come", and "Flying Turkey Trot") were featured on the band's subsequent live album, Live: You Get What You Play For. This was the band's last studio album to feature bassist Gregg Philbin, who departed citing the band's more commercial ambitions and was replaced by Bruce Hall the following year. The album is uncommon in having lead vocals shared by Kevin Cronin and Gary Richrath; on previous albums (Ridin' the Storm Out, Lost in a Dream, This Time We Mean It) Richrath only sang one song per. When Hall joined in 1977, Richrath fully ceased singing lead.
