REO Speedwagon have been one of the most reliable American rock bands for over 50 years. Certain members may come and go, but that name, that quality, and the excellent songs of lead singer Kevin Cronin have been a constant for decades. Unfortunately, that recently came to an end with the departure of founding member Bruce Hall. Plus, Bruce took the name with him. The good news is that most of the same players are playing most of the same songs you've grown to love and rely on, they're just called the Kevin Cronin Band now. Kevin joins us this week to explain the new reality before he goes out on tour with Styx and Don Felder where he'll play the entire Hi-Infidelity album as well as the hits. We also discuss his relationship with original guitarist Gary Richrath, the stories behind songs and albums, how they became known for ballads, and much more. Kevin is a genuinely nice man and he's working hard to continue to deliver the goods (and set the record straight). We're lucky he's still at it. www.kevincronin.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod
In this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we turn up the volume and dive into one of the biggest rock albums of the early 80s—REO Speedwagon’s Hi Infidelity. Released in 1980, this album catapulted the band to superstardom, blending arena rock anthems with heartfelt power ballads that defined the sound of the decade. Hi Infidelity is packed with iconic tracks like "Keep On Loving You," "Take It on the Run," and "Don’t Let Him Go," showcasing the band’s ability to balance soaring melodies with raw emotion. The album was a massive commercial success, becoming the best-selling rock album of 1981 and cementing REO Speedwagon’s place in music history. In this episode, we’ll explore the making of Hi Infidelity, the band’s transition from a hard rock sound to a more radio-friendly style, and the lasting impact of this record on classic rock. We’ll also discuss how REO Speedwagon’s mix of rock and romance resonated with audiences and helped shape the power ballad movement of the 80s. Join us on Dem Vinyl Boyz as we relive the magic of Hi Infidelity, an album that defined an era and continues to be a staple in rock history.

Ryan and Colin talk vague Halloween costumes, stealing bone marrow and a deliberately complex A plot that gets a member of the working class fired.
n the latest edition of the Enter Sadmen podcast the boys are challenged to find three albums oin the theme of Things That Swim. Rich managed to hit the brief with You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish, REO Speedwagon's forerunner to their commercial smash hit Hi Infidelity (which the boys reviewed way back in Episode 7). Unfortunately, Mark and Steve stretched the elastic a bit too far by choosing things that float rather than things that swim. So, making up the trio of albums aiming for a place in the Top 100 of the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Hall of Fame are Kings Of Metal by Manowar - not, as Mark thought, a ray but instead a jellyfish-like organism totally incapable of self-propulsion; and, washing up on rock's shoreline, No Place For Disgrace by Flotsam And Jetsam (see what we did there?)
Hi Infidelity would be the biggest selling rock album of 1981, and would be the high water mark for REO Speedwagon. The band at the time was Kevin Chronin on lead vocals, Gary Richrath on lead guitars, Neal Doughty on keyboards, Bruce Hall on bass, and Alan Gratzer on drums.REO Speedwagon started out in 1967, and the name comes from a 1915 truck called the REO Speed Wagon. Neal Doughty saw the name on the blackboard in his History of Transportation class as an electrical engineering major at the University of Illinois in Champaign, and thought the name was cool. The original lead singer for their 1971 debut album was Terry Luttrell, who would go on to be the vocalist for Starcastle after a breakup that involved Luttrell being left in a cornfield after a bad gig. Kevin Cronin came in for their second album, would leave during the recording sessions on their third album, then return in 1976 for their sixth album. Cronin and Richrath wrote a lot of the music from 1977 on, and around this time long time bassist Greg Philbin left the band, either because of the changing split in money as the band became more commercially successful, or because of his lifestyle issues affecting the music (depending on who you ask). Bruce Hall joined thereafter for the recording of the album "You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish." That was their first top 40 album, including the singles "Roll with the Changes" and "Time for Me to Fly."Hi Infidelity put them over the top. This was a pop-rock crossover, with more commercial appeal than previous rock-oriented efforts. The big song was the ballad "Keep On Loving You," which was everywhere in early 1981. High Infidelity would be the biggest selling rock album of 1981, taking the top spot on the Billboard 200, and certified 10 times platinum over time.Thought they had a number of hits through the 1980's, Hi Infidelity would never be topped. Gary Richrath would leave the band in 1989. He reunited with the band in a concert in 1998, in 2000, and again in 2013 for a benefit concert. REO Speedwagon tours today with Doughty, Cronin, and Hall still in the lineup, joined by Dave Amato on guitar (formerly with Ted Nugent) and Bryan Hitt on percussion (formerly of Wang Chung). Don't Let Him GoThis track opens the album, and was the third single released. Kevin Cronin wrote this hard driving song with a Bo Diddley beat. The song is based on the experiences of all the band members and is basically a plea to all their girlfriends to have patience with them.Follow My HeartThis is a deeper cut, not one of the singles. It's basically about a girl that the guy knows is bad news, but he can't decide whether to follow his head or follow his heart. Gary Richrath wrote this song with songwriter Tom Kelly.Tough GuysKevin Cronin wrote this as a bit of a rebuttal to the "nice guys finish last" trope. "She doesn't like the tough guys, she doesn't like the rough guys. She's gonna call your bluff guys, and you better believe it's true - she don't like you." The opening clip is from a 1937 "Our Gang" (aka "The Little Rascals") episode. This song wasn't released as a single, but made the mainstream rock chart anyway.Take It on the RunThe second single from the album was written by Gary Richrath and went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song takes on the rumor mill in an interesting way: "Now, I'm telling you, babe, that I don't think its true, babe, and even if it is, keep this in mind." The music video to this song was the ninth video played on MTV's first day in August 1981, but technical difficulties resulted in only 12 seconds of the video airing. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:9 to 5 by Dolly Parton (from the motion picture 9 to 5)Working women exact revenge on their boss in this satire starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dolly Parton. STAFF PICKS:Dreamin' by Cliff RichardBrian's staff pick takes us to a famous British singer. Leo Sayer helped write this upbeat song. Richard stated that this was an unusual song for him because it is in a higher range than is typical for Richard. The song was accumulated in the studio, as a verse would be recorded, then the next written. (Just Like) Starting Over by John LennonRob features a song that took off the charts shortly after Lennon was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman. Lennon was trying to create a sound that he called his "Elvis-Orbison track," and it had a definite 50's feel to it. The song was released in October but took off on the charts after his death.I Will Follow by U2Wayne brings us the first single from the debut album by U2. This single was a staple of fraternity parties across the nation at the time. Bono wrote this song as a tribute to his mom who died when he was young. Unusual instruments were used for percussive effect including silverware and breaking bottles.The Turn of a Friendly Card, part 1 by The Alan Parsons ProjectBruce finishes the staff picks with the first part of a 16-minute suite bearing the same name as the album. The Turn of a Friendly Card was a concept album revolving around gambling, gambling addiction, and what happens to a person who turns to gambling in the midst of a mid-life crisis. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Gold Bug by The Alan Parson's ProjectAn instrumental from "The Turn of a Friendly Card," this song was inspired by a short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe.

On our entertainment-themed Round 2 this week, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist takes on racism in the workplace in a thoughtful, well-done episode. Next: The show will be on hiatus until March 28.In Neptune, Veronica faces (false) accusations of cheating and Keith succumbs to the temptation of a relationship with his married former client, Harmony. And of course, the rapist is still at large. Next: Season 3, episode 7, "Of Vice and Men," and the Veronica Mars Investigations discussion of episodes 5, 6, and 7.
Oh no this one has Keith Mars making BAD DECISIONS!
I always thought of R.E.O. Speedwagon as an '80s band, but their breakthrough album, "Hi Infidelity" from 1980 was actually the band's ELEVENTH album. Formed in 1967, R.E.O. spent basically the first decade of their career struggling to expand past their Midwestern roots. We'll talk about their major change in sound over the years, and how the pressure to go pop worked really well…until it didn't. Also–the Bo Diddley beat, a Joe Cocker ripoff, and how Netflix's "Ozark" brought R.E.O. back from the dead.
REO Speedwagon ruled the early 80’s and it all started with the biggest selling record of 1981 - Hi Infidelity. AoRP follower Bryan Harris joins us to review this great record. We also discuss the death of Eric Carr.
On this episode of Rockapedia, Music Man Mike and The Producer talk REO Speedwagon in honor of the 40th anniversary of "Hi Infidelity". Listen as they talk the history of REO Speedwagon's popularity, old concert memories, and much more!
Zu Beginn sind es nur ein paar Jungs, die auf Studentenpartys Songs covern. Jahre später sind REO Speedwagon aus der Rockszene nicht mehr wegzudenken – vor allem wegen ihres Albums "Hi Infidelity".
In this week's episode, we are investigating the overall theme of infidelity such as Keith and Harmony sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, Wallace's feat with mechanical engineering, Parker's cringey moments pining after Piz until she encounters who might be her rapist, and what it takes to forgive someone. Thank you to everyone who nominated Veronica's Marshmallows for the 2020 Podcast Awards! It truly means the world to us and we don't take it for granted. And congratulations to our fellow nominees, like The Hollywood Outsider podcast!
Thank you to Agnes for commissioning this episode! So this was kind of an intense episode, and I mean that in both a positive and a negative way. In the positive column, we've got Keith and Harmony, a pairing which is perhaps ill-advised on their parts but still compelling and crackling with chemistry. And honestly, I get why Veronica disapproves but like....GET IT, KEITH!In the negative column, though, we've got something pretty fucking devastating, which is the wildly irresponsible mishandling of the rape storyline. I am incredibly worried about the rest of this season based on the way the first third has gone, and I'm rather disgusted that this was approved and considered smart writing at the time. I wonder if, since then, they've thought better. Anyway, we shall see what we shall see. Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
After the all-out thrash assault of the last episode, the boys were in need of some soothing sonic balm. What better solution, then, than immersing themselves in the keyboard-laden delights of some honest to goodness AOR? For a while it looked as though it would be a clash of titanic heavyweights as first Journey's Escape and then REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity entered the arena. But then Steve unveiled Strangeways' Native Sons - the AOR equivalent of Rocky Balboa stepping up to challenge Journey and REO's combined Apollo Creed. Okay, so this analogy is getting stretched painfully thin. Suffice it to say that one of the three albums this week started off as an underdog in the race to the Hall of Fame. But would it floor the big guns?

After doing well with their 1980 self-titled album, Canadian rock band Loverboy would head into the stratosphere with their second studio album entitled Get Lucky. Benefiting from a photogenic lead singer (Mike Reno) clad in read leather pants, Loverboy would ride the MTV wave to the top of the rock and pop charts. Loverboy was founded in 1979 by front man Mike Reno and guitarist Paul Dean, who met when Reno was working at a steakhouse and heard Dean playing guitar in a bus station behind the restaurant. Success came quickly, with hits like "Turn Me Loose” and "The Kid is Hot Tonite” from their first album.The name Loverboy came from Paul Dean's dream inspired by the Cover Girl fashion magazine. “Cover Boy” then became “Loverboy,” and the name stuck.Loverboy is still out performing, and Reno still wears the headband. While it made a fashion statement at the time, he claims it was to keep the sweat from getting in his eyes. The band is the same in its entirety today, except for Scott Smith, their original bass player, who was lost at sea when a rogue wave hit his sailboat. He was replaced by bassist Ken "Spider" Sinnaeve in 2001.Grab your red leather pants and sing along with this hit album.When It's OverThis their second single, and the second track on the album. It made it to number 26 on the charts. It tells the story of a guy waiting for the failure of a bad relationship so he can get the girl.Working for the WeekendYou will recognize this track from the starting cowbell if you ever heard 96 Rock's “5 O'Clock Whistle” back in the day. This is the lead single from the album, and went to number 29. Paul Dean was walking on the beach on a Wednesday afternoon, thinking about how everyone was busy at work, waiting for the weekend. With the band’s feedback, the line "waiting for the weekend" became "working for the weekend."Lucky OnesA hopeful track, this song gives the album its name. “Don't ask me how, but guess who hit the big time?”Take Me To the TopA deeper cut - though still a hit single on a single-heavy album. The synthesizer intro is distinctive. This track was actually a demo that made it right onto the album without a studio version. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the Motion Picture “Halloween II”You have to have a creepy theme from a spooky movie if your profiling music from October, right? Villain Michael Myers also debuted on television for the first time in October 1981, as the original "Halloween" appeared on the networks - heavily edited.STAFF PICKS:“Talk Dirty” by John EntwistleWayne's staff pick brings us a solo outing from “The Ox,” John Entwistle, bassist from The Who. This song was a minor hit at the time, when members of The Who were engaged in solo projects. Joe Walsh takes lead guitar duties on this one.“Destroyer” by The KinksBruce features a hit off their 19th album that was incredibly popular for a rock song at the time. The Kinks make reference to two previous songs, "Lola" and "All Day and All of the Night." Stop! Hold on! Stay in control...“Tryin' to Live My Life Without You” by Bob SegarBrian's staff pick is a live rendition of a song originally written by Larry Williams and released by Otis Clay in late 1972. Segar's version went to number 5, so it was much more popular than the original.“In Your Letter” by REO SpeedwagonRob features a do-wop song from REO Speedwagon's hit album “Hi Infidelity.” Despite the 60's sound, this song is not a cover. Keyboardist Gary Richrath wrote this song after finding a letter from his ex-wife indicating that his wife had left him...for their drug dealer. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Theme from the Television Show “Hill Street Blues” by Mike PostThis instrumental theme was on the charts at the time.
This week we're reviewing a family favorite of ours. REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity!
Gestur þáttarins að þessu sinni er tónlistarkonan Steinunn Camilla Stones sem í eina tíð söng með Nylon er stýrir í dag umboðsskrifstofunni Iceland sync. Plata þáttarins er Hi Infidelity með REO Spweedwagon frá árinu 1980. Platan sem er níunda plata sveitarinnar sló í gegn á sínum tíma og náði fyrsta sæti bandaríska vinsældalistans auk þess að vera sú rokkplata sem seldist í flestum eintökum árið eftir, 1981 og seldist á endanum í tífaldri platínu. Hefur í dag selst í meira en 10 milljónum eintaka í bandaríkjunum einum. Það voru fjögur lög af plötunni gefin út á smáskífum og þar af náði eitt (Take it on the run) í 5. sæti smáskífulistans í bandaríkjunum og annað, Keep on loving you, fór alla leið á toppinn. REO Speedwagon (upphaflega skrifað; R.E.O. Speedwagon) er rokkband frá bænum Champaign í Illinois, stofnað 1967 og er enn starfandi. Bandið öðlaðist vinsældir jafnt og þétt eftir því sem leið á áttunda áratuginn, en svo sló það algjörlega í gegn með Hi Infidelity sem er ein af þessum stóru rokkplötum í sögunni sem seldust gríðarlega en eru ekki hátt skrifaðar af gagnrýnendum yfirleitt. Titill plötunnar er orðaleikur þar sem fyrirmyndin er high fidelity (HI-FI) sem þýðir afburða gott hljóð og framan á plötunni sést maður vera að setja plötu á plötuspilara. Infidelity þýðir yfirleitt svik í ástum, framhjáhald þannig að High Infidelity þýðir eflaust mikið af óheiðarleika og svikum. Síðasta plata REO Speedwagon er jólaplatan Not so silent night? Christmas with REO Speedwagon og þar flytur sveitin öll helstu jólalögin með sínu nefi. Sveitin heitir eftir REO Speed Wagon sem er vörubíll sem kynntur var til sögunnar 1915 og er fyrirrennari nútíma pallbílsins. Hann heitir REO vegna þess að sá sem hannaði hann hét Ransom Eli Olds og á þeim tíma þótti þessi Speedwagon fara ansi hratt.

Gestur þáttarins að þessu sinni er tónlistarkonan Steinunn Camilla Stones sem í eina tíð söng með Nylon er stýrir í dag umboðsskrifstofunni Iceland sync. Plata þáttarins er Hi Infidelity með REO Spweedwagon frá árinu 1980. Platan sem er níunda plata sveitarinnar sló í gegn á sínum tíma og náði fyrsta sæti bandaríska vinsældalistans auk þess að vera sú rokkplata sem seldist í flestum eintökum árið eftir, 1981 og seldist á endanum í tífaldri platínu. Hefur í dag selst í meira en 10 milljónum eintaka í bandaríkjunum einum. Það voru fjögur lög af plötunni gefin út á smáskífum og þar af náði eitt (Take it on the run) í 5. sæti smáskífulistans í bandaríkjunum og annað, Keep on loving you, fór alla leið á toppinn. REO Speedwagon (upphaflega skrifað; R.E.O. Speedwagon) er rokkband frá bænum Champaign í Illinois, stofnað 1967 og er enn starfandi. Bandið öðlaðist vinsældir jafnt og þétt eftir því sem leið á áttunda áratuginn, en svo sló það algjörlega í gegn með Hi Infidelity sem er ein af þessum stóru rokkplötum í sögunni sem seldust gríðarlega en eru ekki hátt skrifaðar af gagnrýnendum yfirleitt. Titill plötunnar er orðaleikur þar sem fyrirmyndin er high fidelity (HI-FI) sem þýðir afburða gott hljóð og framan á plötunni sést maður vera að setja plötu á plötuspilara. Infidelity þýðir yfirleitt svik í ástum, framhjáhald þannig að High Infidelity þýðir eflaust mikið af óheiðarleika og svikum. Síðasta plata REO Speedwagon er jólaplatan Not so silent night? Christmas with REO Speedwagon og þar flytur sveitin öll helstu jólalögin með sínu nefi. Sveitin heitir eftir REO Speed Wagon sem er vörubíll sem kynntur var til sögunnar 1915 og er fyrirrennari nútíma pallbílsins. Hann heitir REO vegna þess að sá sem hannaði hann hét Ransom Eli Olds og á þeim tíma þótti þessi Speedwagon fara ansi hratt.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Kent Hartman, Author of Goodnight, L.A. The Rise and Fall of Classic Rock. From Fleetwood Mac's Rumours to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Damn the Torpedoes to REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity, many of the best albums of all time were recorded during the `70s and `80s in Los Angeles. It was a time of astonishing creativity. It was a time of unprecedented fame and fortune. And then, seemingly as quickly as it had all begun, it was over. Grunge caught the nation's fancy by the beginning of the '90s, putting the recording of classic rock,as well as many of the L.A. studios, right out of business. Picking up where his acclaimed bestseller The Wrecking Crew left off, Goodnight, L.A.: The Rise and Fall of Classic Rock—The Untold Story from inside the Legendary Recording Studios is filled with never-before-told stories about the most prolific and important period and place in rock 'n' roll history. It's uniquely compelling because it's the only music book that traces the rise and fall of what we now call “classic rock” from behind the windowless walls of a handful of well-hidden, unlikely-looking Los Angeles-area recording studios.
A long time ago, this show used to make sense. Then came the season of a million terrible unresolved plots they didn't bother to try salvage at all. We took on the episode all about the rousing and fun topic of infidelity -- academic, romantic, and at least ten other ways by our count -- and watched Veronica Mars. Join your hosts @maurae & @lafergs along with returning guests @itslisae & @rowankaiser to give thanks that the movie exists now and discuss the ups and downs of the final season, Piz, feminism, Chili's and all!

This week, we're talking about "President Evil," where we're entertained by the cases of the week, even if we think the Dean's case doesn't make a lot of sense. We're happy to see a case involving Weevil, but less amused by Veronica's accusations against him. We're even less happy at the inclusion of a false rape accusation story. Next up in "Hi, Infidelity," the cases hold together better, with Veronica investigating a charge of plagiarism against her and Mercer as a rape suspect. We're also talking about Piz and the bowling incident and why we can't deal with Keith Mars' sexy scenes.
29 years ago this month R.E.O. Speedwagon released Hi Infidelity. For better or worse, I loved that album. My older brother played it to death and I heard it so many times that it wore its way into my psyche. … Continue reading →
