Album Notes & Community Reviews

'The Ballads' gathers the slow songs of REO Speedwagon, the Illinois rock band whose power ballads 'Keep On Loving You' and 'Can't Fight This Feeling' defined arena rock romance in the 1980s. The compilation distils the softer side of a band built on Kevin Cronin's piano-led songwriting.
