The singer and guitarist is Joe Walsh. He played with the James Gang before going solo. Then he joined the Eagles and also maintained a solo career. Some of his other big hits without the Eagles are: "Funk #49", "Life's Been Good", "Rocky Mountain Way", and bunch of others. Personally I like one of his lesser known hits "The Confessor". All of them have Joe's great guitar work. You saw Joe play on "Hotel California". He was the guitarist in the bandana.
^^What he said!
Yes! Glad you mentioned The Confessor-- such a deep and wonderful song.
Great song. Also like All Night Long.
I Got The All Night Laundry Mat Blues................................
@@adamsher2538 Don't forget "A Life of Illusion" and the quirky 80s arcade tune "Space Age Whiz Kids".
"Life's Been Good" " Turn To Stone" "Rocky Mountain Way" are my favs
Life’s been Good, shows Joe Walsh’s sense of humor.
Oh my lord yes Turn To Stone. Brilliant lyrics great vocals and of course Joe's genius guitar. I'm gonna have to binge it now that you mentioned it! 👍🏾
Thanks! Wonderful to find a new favourite! Did just listen to Joe Walsh ”Life’s been good” on Spotify. Great! (Loves that Spotify now also gives you the lyrics.). 😎👍🏼
Anything from Joe is a banger. I love “Ordinary Average Guy”
In the city was a favorite of mine.
Joe Walsh, the lead singer and guitarist of the James Gang, was an Air Force brat. He was born near you guys in Wichita and eventually ended up in Ohio where he attended Kent State University and studied electrical engineering. Joe is a licensed ham radio operator and really knows his electronics, using his skills to modify guitars and amps to his personal preferences. In 1991, when a horrific tornado hit eastern Wichita and devastated the town of Andover, Joe held a solo show at Wichita's Cotillion Ballroom with the admission fee of two cans of food for storm victims. Definitely a cool guy!
You can’t always categorize music. Its art.
Sometimes you work too hard at fitting a song into a box. Just enjoy it.
Amen!
I'll second that amen
Yes, why does everything have to be in a "genre"? If it's good, it's good!
Back in the 60's we would hear on the radio a ,Frank Sinatra song, followed by Sonny & Cher, then Jim Morrison and the Doors and Johnny Cash.(of course lots of Beatles).
No one worried or even thought about genres.
@@bobr4987 Of course people cared about genres then, and it wasn't that far removed from the designation of "race" music. But categorizing music doesn't have to be reductive or divisive. It's a useful way for people to discuss music, the influences and evolutions, the cross-overs etc. What people need to do is let go of this selective nonsense about how much better the good ol' days were
That lead singer is the legendary Joe Walsh, one of the greatest guitarists ever. You saw him as part of that amazing dual guitar solo at the end of Hotel California. He played as a member of the Eagles off and on over the years. 🌺✌️
Joe Walsh would probably enjoy being called a lead dinger.
I tried to edit that before I posted it but my phone was having some sort of spasm so I gave up at the time. It is now fixed 😂😂
Joe, Don, and Glen are obvious on many Dan Fogelberg recordings-
Phoenix and
Someone's Been Telling You Stories are standouts.
You don't want to miss them if we're unaware. 🙋🏻♂️
I love Dan Fogelberg. I haven’t seen anyone reacting to his music. 🤔
His estate may be blocking publication. I was suprised to see any REO Speedwagon since Kevin's ex was awarded the hits in the divorce.
You can't go wrong with Joe Walsh! One of my faves of all time! Besides this one, 2 of the other hits to check out would be "Funk#49" & "Rocky Mountain Way".
Interesting to describe with the word "Grunge". Never thought of that since the term came along in the 90's, but yes. It is the same style & I guess Joe Walsh probably invented it then. He has some distortion on the guitar that gives that crunchy sound. He's a rocker, but there's also some funk influence & other things.
D'oh! Reading the comments, I guess you already reacted to "Rocky Mountain Way".
Some later Joe Walsh solo recommendations would be "Life's Been Good" (very long for today's short attn. spans, but they played it non-stop on radio at the time where I was growing up. He's got a good sense of humor that comes out on that one) "Life of Illusion", one of my all time faves, but unfortunately have never found a copy of the original video. (The song stands on its' own w/o question, I just remember liking the vid & wanting to see it. He was in battle gear, riding around on a tank in what looked like a garbage dump...can't remember it, because I can't find it!) ,"In the City" (theme song for the movie "The Warriors", which is fun if you haven't seen it) & "The Confessor", which came out later
Just remember..The Eagles needed Joe Walsh.. Joe Walsh didn`t need the Eagles.
Exactly! 👊🍻
Ha!
You should do a deep dive into Joe Walsh. I know you have already covered him in the Eagles, and now and The James gang, but he's got a plethora of great songs in his discography. Here is a short list of great songs by Joe Walsh: Life's Been Good To Me, Rocky Mountain Way, Life In The City, and my two favorites songs by Joe are, Ordinary Average Guys, and The Confessor
They listened to Rocky Mountain Way awhile ago and they absolutely loved it - especially J.
Turn to Stone!!!
@@DungeonBossTipsundTricks you're 100% right
Here is my list of Joe Walsh's solo work pulled from my MP3 player not that you asked but see if I missed any good ones, (One Day At A Time)( Turn To Stone)( At The Station)( Life's Been Good) (The Confessor) cover of Michael Stanley's (Rosewood Bitters) (Ordinary Average Guy)( Rocky Mountain Way )( Meadows) ( A Life Of Illusions) (In The City) ( Walkaway,)
Do you remember him on The Drew Carey Show he played Ed I loved seeing him do comedy
@@tjhunger8644 thx for the list
Indeed i do remember
ANY band with Joe Walsh playing guitar is going to have some amazing beats/riffs.
After the James Gang and before he joined the Eagles, Joe dropped a couple of albums under the band name Barnstorm. His second album, The Smoker you Drink, the Player you Get, featured his most popular song (pre Eagles), Rocky Mountain Way. In my opinion, Joe is one of the top ten guitarists of all time.
Well done. So many people leave out Barnstorm. I agree, BTW, on his guitar prowess. He's easily in my top 10 rock guitarists. He's criminally underrated.
Jimmy Fox…Powerful and funky. Bass and drums heavy anchor to this song. Joes free to take those leads way out and then he gets right back into the funky backbeat that holds it all together. Joe has a very unique rock n roll voice. Love this song. Beer drinking river music…🍻
Joe Walsh, later of The Eagles. (Please do his song, "Life's Been Good", it's hysterically satirical.) For more James Gang, you could dry "Funk #49", "Must Be Love", or "Midnight Man".
Joe Walsh, all time great early on in his Illustrious Career! The James Gang was very underrated and were their best when Joe Walsh was still lead singer and guitarist. For more great studios try Funk 49, The Bomber and for Amber, Midnight Man. What you really Need to hear from them is the amazing James Gang Live album. It is incredible from start to finish and Joe gets to show all his skills on electric and acoustic guitars and Hammond organ along with lead vocals. For a jolt of electricity try the the 2 song opener of Stop and Your Gonna Need Me, those songs lead seamlessly into another and are some of the fiercest lead hard rock and blues rock guitar ever in music history. I tell you, James Gang Live will be one of the best bangers you ever hear. Enjoy! 🎸
Ashes, The Rain and I is one their best also.
There've been a couple of times when y'all have listened to an early seventies rock song and said that it sounds like nineties grunge. That's because that grunge sound was reviving sounds from the early seventies, consciously. Bands from the grunge era even had late sixties-early seventies-sounding names like Mother Lovebone and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Nirvana and wore the long, natural-looking hair of the late sixties-early seventies, which had been very "out" in the eighties. Even the massive nineties rap-rock band Rage Against the Machine incorporated a lot of early seventies-sounding, Black Sabbath-style power riffs and had lyric references to sixties social justice figures like Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, and MLK.
Yes!
Everybody had long hair in the 80's.. Remember hair metal? I guess it wasn't natural though...
Joe didn't just play with the James Gang, he was the James Gang. You should find their LIVE from Carnegie Hall if you really want to know their capabilities. Joe eventually went to the Eagles and will forever be linked to Hotel California and the brilliant side by side guitar solo with Don Felder. Joe though was as famous for his excesses with Alcohol and Drugs, as he was for his playing. Fortunately he got help and has been clean and sober for almost 20 years.
Fun fact: Joe was at the final Beatle Concert in 68 at Shea Stadium. Also in the crowd was Joe's future wife and her sister who eventually married Joe's brother- in- law, who was the drummer for the Fab Four, Ringo Starr.
Joe Walsh is a Legend. James Gang, solo, Eagles. Can't go wrong. "Life's Been Good, Rocky Mountain Way, Funk #49"
Funk 49, yes!
I also love "Meadows" 👍
Don’t miss out on Life of Illusion
This is why i was a HAPPY 70s Brat
After watching all of these videos all I can think of is the t-shirt that says -- "I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands!" Back in the day we had phenomenal music!
They had 18 year old beer bars when I was growing up. I was lucky enough to see the James Gang, 38 Special, Boz Scaggs and many others playing at these bars. Such fun!
Damn! Must have been great to see all of them in bars.
I remember that ! 3.2 beer !
@@ssshadowwolf6762 I can remember the bars that charged 6 bucks to get in and all the 3.2 you could drink. Was stationed at Lowrey AFB in Denver 84/85.
This is quintessential 70s rock, you can definitely hear Joe's influence in the Eagles here.
When you realize that this was Joe Walsh on guitar before he first went solo then joined the Eagles, you should immediately recognize his guitar playing style.
Joe Walsh is so talented!! loved his solo
Work and when he joined The Eagles!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never stop marveling at Joe's talent.
You've heard the vocalist/guitarists more than you could possibly imagine. His name is Joe Walsh, and you reacted to his song Rocky Mountain Way. He is also well known as being a member of the Eagles
You GOTTA do Funk #49 by James Gang
Joe Walsh and Stevie Nicks dated in the 80s and she wrote a song for him called Has anyone ever written anything for you. It's beautiful
Joe Walsh is the GOAT! Thank goodness we did not lose him to his drug/alcohol addictions. Love ya Joe!
Joe's got a strong spirit and held it together and persevered through all that. Still going strong.
Many people know what an amazing talent Joe Walsh is, but I never hear anyone mention the group’s drummer, Jim Fox. An absolute powerhouse, and practically nobody even knows his name! Gotta be one of the most underrated classic rock drummers ever.
Joe is a VERY good guitarist, with a long history. He still rocks.
Have a great day!
I'm knocked out by Joe's talent. Still going strong and great guy, too.
Joe Walsh is a rock and roll legend later years played with Eagles. James Gang "Rocky Mountain Way"
This is the kind of music that my mom was playing when I was a little kid. I can clearly remember this song playing at very loud volumes over giant 1970's speakers. Another deep childhood dive would be to listen to Uriah Heep. Amazing 70's tripping music. You should also try a progression from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship to Starship. It's a wild ride.
YESSSSS...URIAH HEEP!!!
And definitely must do "Life's Been Good" which is a song about a successful rock career.
Funk 49 is another great one by the James Gang
Joe's guitar tone and style is super unique. Joe brought the 'dirty and heavy' to The Eagles when he joined the band.
Just do Joe Walsh he was fire with the Eagles but his solo career was amazing. ❤🥰🔥
imho an underrated "superstar" so talented!
Joe Walsh’s song … “Life’s Been Good” … is hilariously funny .. he makes fun of himself…
He is an amazing guitarist and is a member of the Eagles…….
You did Joe's, "Rocky Mountain Way" which was a song written about his departure from the James Gang while he was living in Colorado.
Joe Walsh had some big hits as a solo artist. My favorite being the very funny "Life's Been Good".
For more early 70s rock, I suggest Uriah Heep's "Stealin'" and "Easy Livin'". Also Todd Rundgren's "Couldn't I Just Tell You" for which he coined the term "power pop".
I saw a reference recently that said Pete Townshend called The Who "power pop" in a late sixties interview. Todd might have got that from Pete.
@@Itelkner You're probably right. I've seen a few performances of the Rundgren song where he says it's a new genre called power pop.
@@richardb6260 I think Todd might have got people thinking that way. At some point, it seemed to become a category. Bands like Cheap Trick and The Knack get called power pop all the time.
Hey, I'll second that Uriah Heep suggestion! Own it in vinyl from back then
You loved "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh (that's him!!!!!! Please play Funk #49 also by the James Gang!!!!!
Walsh is so much fun in concert. Always doing a mix of his own stuff and material from this former groups.
I’m 65- was in Jr High when this came out. Joe Walsh was a great addition to the Eagles later on in his career Funk 49 was another good from the James Gang era.
Agreed on "Funk #49"
Check out Funk #49. It's the best song by The James Gang. Joe Walsh, the singer/guitarist is one of the weirdest dudes in the music industry. His bandmate in the Eagles, Glen Frey, once called him "an interesting bunch of guys".
You know the singer…it’s Joe Walsh you reacted to him before. ( Rocky Mountain way…Life’s been good..Eagles..) Also check out “ Funk 49” by James Gang. Great sound
Singer/guitar player is Joe Walsh, as others have said, and you guys have done him before. Rocky Mountain Way. Plus I think you did Eagles - Hotel California, where he was one of the guitarists in that dual solo.
Oh please go down this rabbit hole of Joe Walsh. He is a national treasure. Love that man !!!
One of the things I really love about this channel is hearing songs I hadn’t thought about in years and the memories they trigger. This one features the phenomenal Joe Walsh who I will always associate with The Eagles. My favorite band of all time.
Sorry to bug you guys again so soon, but I'm 72 and heard so many great songs over the decades! These guys also do two other great songs, Woman, my fave by them, and one called The Bomber/Closet Queen, it has about 3 or 4 different tunes all in one! Please give them a spin, and I hope I don't drive you nuts with requests, but I have a million of them!
I'm 75 and I have heard those same great songs. And I like to bug them too with requests for some of those songs. Aren't we lucky to have so much music in our lives.
Got a million of 'em? Like Durante? 😉. I second "The Bomber." A MUST.
You did a good reaction to Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way". Now You need to hear "The Confessor". Joe Walsh is a cool dude with a fun style and vibe in his music.
Good old rock and roll is timeless that's why it seems like it could fit right in today good old rock and roll will never die
Ok, everybody knows his stuff. What I'd like to convey to the Rob Squad is that like everywhere they look, they discover "new stuff". I take great pleasure in watching you younger people rediscover what we have been digging for decades! I respect and admire your open mindedness to "new" music and ideas. A true marker of intelligence, genuine curiosity and simple good taste lol!. "Our music" is a long way from being irrelevant or dead as you are now learning. You guys are awesome and you give me MUCH hope for our future generations! Love and light to you both!!!!! Spirit bless you!
I agree with all you say! It's fun watching them love the music we loved!
You listened to and reacted to Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" awhile back...
Had an old James Gang 8 track back in the days. I would put on my head phones and fall asleep to this stuff at night. You learn every beat and note to the songs.
They were awesome live! They put rock and funk together which was really never done before!
The singer/guitar player is Joe Walsh who was part of the Eagles. Awesome guitarist.
I believe it was Glenn Frey (RIP) that said something like Joe Walsh is the greatest bunch of guys you could ever meet. He is a great front man and musician.
That’s Joe Walsh who went to join the Eagles! Serious guitar mastery!!!
If you replay the live Eagles “Hotel California “ you reacted to, you’ll see Joe Walsh/James Gang guitarist, solo talent, and the lead guitarist you see with the single neck Fender wearing a head bandana, and the voice of the James Gang. He’s got a distinctive voice and can shred a lead guitar solo.
This is one of the easiest songs to hear how a kick drum can make a track. That syncopation is something you usually hear on the snare. Kills me every time. Their drummer is like a mix of Keith Moon and James Brown’s Clyde Stubblefield.
I first heard Joe Walsh and The James Gang when my oldest brother came back from Vietnam. He brought back a ton of stereo equipment and albums he got for cheap on the military base. Who knew that at 63 years old I would still love them! Check out Joe Walsh doing “ Life Of Confusion”. 👍
I love anything Joe Walsh sings! Pretty Maids all in a row, Rocky Mountain Way, Life’s Been Good, The Confessor are just a few of my favs you need to check out.
You'll have to check out "Funk 49", and "Life's Been Good". He joined the Eagles in the mid-70's, and you reacted to their "Hotel California" video, and Joe was the one wearing a bandana and making funny facial expressions during his solos.
Great song, Joe Walsh is a super talent.
I had the pleasure of sitting behind a huge stack of speakers on an open air stage. To see Joe Walsh at a 4th of July show back in the early 90"s. Great music, great memories.
that drummer is playing genius drums. He plays the toms like congas, and the cymbal bell work adds so much spice. But then he goes into a shuffle on the hats that sounds like brushes back and forth. That bass is heavy lifting too- he laying the bricks so the drummer can dance around. This rhythm section needs so much more recognition. Joe Walsh, we know he is wild on the frets and bends
Jimmy Fox, genius!
Joe was a wild one. As an Eagle, he was known for trashing hotel rooms. Fellow guitarist Don Felder drove Joe to rehab before Don was kicked out of the band over money issues. Check out Joe's "Life's Been Good" for a little insight to Joe.
These guys were my first concert in 1974 in Central Park NYC Schaefer beer concert series! I was 15 and that was a real life changing experience! To say the least,I kinda let my freak flag fly from that point forward. 😆 lol
A couple of months ago you reacted to Rocky Mountain Way from Joe Walsh who later was in the Eagles. You guys should do a Sunday "reaction to your reaction" video where you talk about what you learned from the comments from that week's videos. I always wonder if you go back and maybe look up more info on the artists. For example you did a live version of Van Halen's Eruption but would love for you to hear the original from the album. The fact that you didn't identify George Harrison from the Beatles in that Traveling Wilbury's song. Or recognized pretty much ALL the singers in Band Aid from your reaction videos (except Bono). Just saying...
I have mentioned that before. So much gets explained. American pie best example
These guys were super influential. Even Pete Townsend of the WHO, gives them credit for directing his band !
Fantastic artist - is celebrating sobriety and talks openly about it to encourage others. Is married to the sister of Ringo Starr's wife and is also very active in Benefits for Veterans.
Haven't heard this in ages, and actually forgot about it.
It's interesting to me that you guys would think this is a newer song, while I on the the other hand would definitely says it's from the '70s.
Maybe because I love a lot of music from that decade and have gotten used to and can recognize the sound.
I listen some classical music, but if you had me to listen to Bach and Brahms, I'm not educated enough in that genre to say that I can tell what year what was released, just by listening. Is it from the 1600's, the 1800's? Baroque? Renaissance? All I could say is "It's classical music and I like it".
We're all learning! :)
Yes more Joe Walsh as Solo , James Gang or Eagles , just legendary.
Pure, uncut, American '70s bliss.
This is Joe Walsh, James gang, The Eagles, solo, and Brother In law to Ringo Starr of the Beatles great musician. Thank you
Joe Walsh is a great guitar player, my personal favorite. He also is one of the funny characters in rock history. Has quite a full life, like a big giant life party of sorts. Got himself out of the bottle and is still quite the character. Love all James Gang muse. Funk #49, Woman, Stop are great bluesy funky tunes. He also has some GREAT ballads in his James Gang day as well. Ashes, the Rain and I is special and so is the song Collage. Enjoy and delve deep, well worth the trip.
Joe Walsh is one of the most underrated guitarists. He is a beast
The James Gang and Grand Funk (who you've reacted to their tune Inside Looking Out) were two of the bands know for their deep, heavy bass lines. Loved it!
Joe Walch was the lead singer and guitar player, who went on to a successful solo career, before joining The Eagles, where he now performs. The James Gangs first three albums were their best. Jim Fox was a great drummer and was very rudimentary precise and crisp.
Joe Walsh is different. James Gang, Eagles (and they really Launched after getting him), then his solos Life of Illusion and In the City were tough. I had am album of his called There Goes the Neighborhood. I was fortunate enough to see him in the mid 80's.
Yes! "Life of Illusion"! Only bummer about that one is I've never been able to find the original video
As much as I like Joe, the Eagles were well launched before he joined them. Their pre-Hotel California greatest hits album is one of the biggest sellers ever.
Yeah,but thanks to Joe bringing all the drugs they started living their songs.Life in the Fast Lane comes to mind.
If you haven't done Funk 49....do yourself a favor...
Joe Walsh...I think it was Henley of the eagles said....Joe's an interesting couple of guys....
Musicians call it an off-beat,where the drums and base are the lead,and the guitars fill in the blanks
The Funk was strong in Joe. Even 40 years later after he sobered up, he still maintained that level of kick ass. Joe Walsh is in my Top 5 Greatest guitar players/songwriters ever. And he should be in yours.
Have you seen him in Live at Daryl's House? Check it out if you haven't.
@@DanFan2042 Indeed I have. Great episode.
Now you know why The Eagles wanted Joe Walsh. He was phenomenal way back then.
Funk #49 please.😎😎😎😎
hard to believe this song is 50 years old... as a kid I remember when I heard it on the radio back in '71, yeah that transition beat fill got me too
ASHES THE RAIN AND I is their premium song, unique, creative rock.
Funk 49 is the other best known song JamesGang has as far as the Joe Walsh years are concerned and then there is Tommy Bolin with James Gang who took Joe's place when he went SOLO .....
Yes Joe Walsh he's another extremely talented guitar player. Rocky Mountain Way and Life's Been Good are two of my favorites.
I grew up hearing this on the radio and I love seeing younger people that appreciate good music! I just turned 59 so I got the chance to hear alot of the 70's music when it was new. Oh and I'd love to hang with you Amber.
Singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter....the legendary Joe Walsh.
As mentioned several times already, two great songs to check out are Joe Walsh with the Eagles, Life's Been Good. The lyrics are too funny!
th-cam.com/video/BXWvKDSwvls/w-d-xo.html
And the main solo song I remember is The Confessor:
th-cam.com/video/gf47PtfG7VA/w-d-xo.html
Of course, there's lots of good Eagles songs which I'm sure several have already been suggested. Enjoy!
Please react to JOURNEY one of the legends of the 80's you won't regret it
Love this band!!!🤘🔥
Jim Fox is a criminally underrated drummer.
These guy truly jam. I bet they never tried to played it the same twice. This was probably the best cut. If they even needed to do it twice.
Great suggestions below. For their softer, symphonic/acoustic side, check out their beautiful "Ashes, the Rain, and I".
"Bomber" is another great song by them as yet unmentioned, I believe. Their heavier side.
To give you a taste of the time, here is a segment from "Zachariah: An Electric Western", circa 1970, with The James Gang, as well as badass Elvin Jones (John Coltrane's drummer), a young hippie Don Johnson (Dakota's dad) and John Rubenstein, pianist Arthur's curly headed son.
th-cam.com/video/rKke5oAAqBA/w-d-xo.html
"Ashes, the Rain,and I" is BRILLIANT. Joe's a very underrated composer. One of our great musical talents. He's such a down to earth guy that people don't realize the genius there.
@@Itelkner It was and is, by far, my favorite song by them. Jack Nitzsche's arrangement is wondrous, as always. And the lyrics, so simple and fine:
"Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I'm living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I"
@@MisterWondrous Yep, brilliant lyrics from such a young guy at the time. Perfect for staring out the window on a rainy day, reflecting. Jack Nitzsche deserves a lot of credit for that brilliant arrangement. He could really hear the depth in Joe's composition.
@@Itelkner Jack and Joe went up that hill together, pushing that ball, and it paid off in spades. Tragic he should leave us so soon.
funk#49
The beginning for singer/songwriter/guitarist Joe Walsh. After leaving James Gang, he was in Barnstorm. Marketed as Joe "going solo", I believe the branding as "Joe Walsh and Barnstorm" was the label's idea, not Joe's. He just saw himself as part of the band. Probably the biggest hit from that era would be "Rocky Mountain Way", which also demonstrates Joe's use the voice box to enhance his playing. Then, he surprised a lot of fans (like myself) at the time, by joining the Eagles.
Since his involvement with the Eagles, he has also maintained a solo career alongside, or in between active phases of, the Eagles. Hits from that period would include the likes of "Life's Been Good".
Saw the Eagles on their "History of the Eagles" tour. First half of the show, they "built" the band, adding members on stage as the music moved through their history, until they got to adding Joe. Then, they took a break. The second half of the show, was largely a Joe Walsh concert with the Eagles as his backing band. They not only continued the progression of Eagles material, they also mixed in some of Joe's non-Eagles material. And Joe stepped up as front man.
Lesser known about Joe are that he also guested on slide guitar for a couple of songs on REO Speedwagon's third album, "Ridin' The Storm Out".
Or that he has a cameo at the end of the movie "Blues Brothers" (prison concert scene at end, first inmate to jump up on a table and dance is Joe).
"Life's Been Good" is his best known (and best) song.
The lead singer and guitarist is Joe Walsh. You reviewed his “Rocky Mountain Way” about three months ago. Try Funk #49, I’m sure you’ll luv it.
Joe Walsh is the leader of this band. You reacted to his song, Rocky Mountain Way, a while back and you loved it. Remember? Joe later joined the Eagles and has been part of that band for years.
I've been listening to this for more than 50 years now.
Still live it.
The drummer...so many mood swings...nicely done
