New REO Speedwagon album dealing with relationship issues

The new album from REO Speedwagon, which is called Find Your Own Way Home, isn't a concept album, but it does have a recurring theme. The 10 songs on the record deal with the ups-and-downs that happen in every relationship, and they were written from the perspective of the bandmembers, several of whom dealt with relationship issues in recent years. Frontman Kevin Cronin told us that while the songs are somewhat autobiographical to the group, they are also representative of what everyone goes through in life: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "I think anybody can last six months with another person, but you try to have a relationship that's gonna last over the long haul, and you're gonna run through some rough spots along the way."

REO Speedwagon's next show is on Wednesday, May 16th, at the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville, California.
