  I’d said before, I think Gary Richrath was one of the most overlooked great guitarists from this era, along with Drew Abbott of the Silver Bullet Band. REO really rocked in their early years, before leaning more towards Kevin Cronin’s ballads (although they were mostly strong rock ballads, ‘Time for Me to Fly being my favorite.)

Gary Richrath was a freakin' guitar god. One of the best rockers to ever play the instrument. Few have ever made it look so effortless as Gary did. REO lost a lot of its gusto when Richrath left the band. "Time For Me to Fly" is a great song, one of my very favorites. 

It was released in 1978 from the album with one of my all-time favorite titles--- You Can Tune a Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish.




Btw, love having you back on the music threads, VH.
