Title: REO Speedwagon – You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1978, Rock, Arena Rock, Champaign

Matrix #: JE 35082

Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle Kevin Cronin had already been fired from REO once before returning; this was part of the run where he had to re-earn his place and front a band still figuring out its identity.
  2. Band Drama The title came from a joke tossed around inside the band, showing how REO leaned into being seen as less cool or serious than their harder-rock peers.
  3. Scene Ecology REO came out of the Midwest college circuit, not LA or New York, building their audience through constant regional touring before FM radio fully caught up.
