To What Are Yee Listenin' Right Now?

I am a Gary Richrath fan boy. I’ve seen REO multiple times. First time was their Wheels are Turning tour. About 1983. It was awesome. Been an REO fan since early 70s when I heard songs like Ridin the Storm Out getting air time on the local Quad Cities radio stations. They were playing the local bar scene…. Davenport IA…. Rock Island IL. Wasn’t old enough to go see them but loved the music.

But in my mind when Gary left…. For whatever was the reason…. REO became a cover band of their own music. It was never the same. Dave Amato plays all the right notes…. It’s just not the same. Gary wrote a lot of the early music. He was the heart and soul of REO and when he left he took that with him.
