REO Speedwagon - Guitarist Gary Richrath


Expert: Kathy - 4/23/2008

Question
This is not so much a question as a comment. I was always in awe of Gary's guitar work in REO songs. IT is really what made their songs soar like they did, plus a very solid and driving bass and drums.  Kevin's vocals were ok, but it was really the music that impressed me, especially the guitar work by Gary. I also always liked Bruce Hall's "Back on the road again" and his bass playing was always solid.  Gary and Bruce should someday get back together.

Answer
Thanks for your comment, Doug. Lots of long-time REO fans certainly agree with you. Make sure to check out two websites that regularly discuss these issues:
