Bass and drums are so tight. Harmonies are are perfect. Guitars ring like a bell. Awesome band. After listening to these guys I don’t want to listen to anyone else.

The REO Bros are like a time machine to me. They take me back to the music I grew up with.

[romycruz]

This only proves that music transcends race, color, religion and TIME. And the music and songs of the good old old yesteryears are still the best and the REO Brothers are making them alive again for both the old and the young to cherish and enjoy.

I have a very eclectic taste in music. Depending on my mood you can hear me playing sappy ballads, early rockabilly, classic rock, opera and classical, Mexican rancheras, African, Cuban boleros and son, Brazilian, 80’s new wave, Latin Jazz, blue grass, and even country and hip hop. But my always go to music for any occasion and mood is jazz. As soon as I blast my Sonos with Miles Davis or John Coltrane my wife would immediately retreat to the room because she hates my “high and mighty” jazz. 😀😀😀. I’ve been to a handful of concerts in my life but I never consider myself as a crazy fan and at this age I thought nothing can really excite me that much. And then the pandemic came, or better yet the REO Brothers came. As a person who was dismissive of YouTube before as nothing but a waste of time, I could not not tell you how avid of fans my wife and I became after following the REO Brothers. We even commandeered our son’s high end computer speakers, much to his dismay, in order to listen better in our room. The brothers’ music gave us something that we can both enjoy. I could not explain what it is that drew us to these young musicians. All I know is that we find tremendous joy every time we listen to them. Perhaps this is the real power of art.

Never heard this song before, but ever since watching this, i find myself humming it and it just plays constantly in my mind.😊

[KimSenior]

This takes me back to my carefree youth, instead of this madness we’re living through now!

[beaugunn]

Far out! That was a tighter performance than the original. Well done guys.

[AndreyBitardov]

Phenomenal guys, thanks from Siberian 😊

[maxfine]

Incredible. I was hoping that song would never end..

[jonesarno]

Mga Bossing, putok na putok na kayo sa YouTube. Marami na ang tagahanga nyo! Keep up the fantastic job! Thank you at proud kami na pinoy kayo! Tc GBU

[MaskedRiderChris]

Dear GOD, you kids are spot on! Those vocal harmonies alone are worth the price of admission, and the lead singer nailed it perfectly. Well done, guys, well done!

[rozchristopherson]

Written by Sonny Bono. One of my all-time favorite songs. I’m 62 and just went down memory lane. Great job. ❤❤❤

[stevenobe]

We thought the music died, it lives again with fantastic musicians & heart reaching vocals, we of rockenroll welcome REO brothers

[athenagranados]

Oh boy! I had to double check who it was singing Needles and Pins! This is very heartwarming to a senior citizen like me to hear boys of current vintage singing a song from my generation! More power to you Reo Brothers!!
