I had seen this album cover for years even before I knew who REO Speedwagon was. It always seemed to be there. I would look at it and it would make me wonder. It was such an odd thing to put on an album cover. OK maybe not as odd as a topless pre-teen girl holding a model airplane or Edgar Winter.
By the time I connected the dots, I had already accumulated a handful of REO Speedwagon albums. I don’t know why this on eluded me for so long. It was either Al or Mark across the hall that introduced me to You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish. It was still REO Speedwagon but it felt a little more serious or mature than Hi-Infidelity.
Tuna Fish became my favorite REO Speedwagon album. I’m not sure if it was because Al liked it so much or if I was changing. Tuna Fish seemed a little more rock and roll than Hi-Infidelity. It had a louder and more raw feel to it that seemed to fit with the direction I was heading.
There is still more REO Speedwagon ahead of us but for now it’s Time For Me To Fly.
