I don't know the record sales on this CD but i heard it didn't do well. I personally thought it was one of their best CD's. The songs here are just pure gold, there is such a unique quality in the way these songs were written and sung that makes you want to listen to it loud and over and over again. Just an awesome CD. The song "Go for broke" was a fast and neat song. No other song like it. "Live it up " is a hard singing song with a unique sound also. The ballads "Love is a rock, the heart survives and half way are tear jerkers. "Love to hate and You won't see me" are also hard right to the point songs.
The Earth, a Small Man, His Dog and a Chicken is the thirteenth studio album by REO Speedwagon, and was released in 1990. To date, it's the last REO album to chart, peaking at #129 on the Billboard 200. The song "Love Is a Rock" reached #66 on Billboard's Hot 100, and "Live It Up" reached #6 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. Following the departure of two long-time members, guitarist and songwriter Gary Richrath and drummer Alan Gratzer, almost one half of the songs on this album were written or co-written by keyboardist Jesse Harms. It is also the first album to include guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
