Find Your Own Way Home is the fifteenth studio album by REO Speedwagon. It was produced by Joe Vannelli and Kevin Cronin and was released in 2007 by Speedwagon Recordings and Mailboat Records. The album came eleven years after the band's previous studio album, Building the Bridge, and was their last full album of original material. The album found the band returning to its trademark hard rock sound after the soft ballads of Bridge. Though the album did not chart, it did produce the minor hit "I Needed to Fall", which peaked at #25 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. "Smilin' in the End" was released at the same time as "I Needed to Fall" to classic rock stations, but did not chart. The third single from the album, the title track, reached #23 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart.
Also released in a limited edition package including XM Artist Confidential, a live DVD recorded at the XM Performance Theatre in Washington, D.C., and the live CD Hi Infidelity Then Again...Live, also recorded at the same venue. The CD also includes enhanced video content.
