专辑介绍

by Doug Stone

REO Speedwagon gets slagged regularly, but they always deliver in concert and the freewheelin' Nine Lives, their (natch) ninth, sports one cool sleeve: tight leather, suspenders, fishnets, and cat chicks. The black circle inside rocks mightily also. Bassman Bruce Hall steps up to the plate with &Back on the Road Again,& a stadium stage staple that kept these Illinois boys makin' noise on the radio. The Caribbean vibe in the hard luck &Easy Money& can't touch the Scorpions' 1979 foray into reggae (&Is There Anybody There?&), but old reliable axeman Gary Richrath keeps the number burning. The obligatory ballad, &I Need You Tonight,& is one of REO's best cuts ever with priceless piano from Neal Doughty, the most unsung keyboardist alive. The whole quintet cooks on the stony nugget &Meet Me on the Mountain,& the Led orgasm &Heavy on Your Love,& barroom showoff &Drop It,& and unheard single &Only the Strong Survive.& REO's next record sparked a phenomenon, and the band never kicked out a set as rocking and carefree as Nine Lives again.
