Wow, that's quite a different flavor than with Cronin. Sure beats the hell out of "Keep on Loving You"!
Didn't you know, they were a Midwest boogie band once - more akin to Foghat than to, say, Styx. That said, Cronin (luv'im or hate'm) was immediately recognizable and their hits were excruciatingly catchy to the point of painful.
It was an endless US tour with them (Cronin era) that led Blackmore (who was their opener and saw Rainbow struggling every night to win the grace of the REO horde) to unceremoniously dump Dio as a singer and commercialize Rainbow's sound by getting in singers with more "girl appeal". From this
to this (within a year)
and this (within another year)
So blame REO Speedwagon!!!
