My personal instructor was part of Joe Walsh’s touring band in the 80s. He’s got some really crazy stories!! I think Glenn Frey put it best … Joe was a crazy group of guys!!
Sad to say, I saw their tour in the early-mid 80s. It was Joe and Glenn. Before Joe got sober. He was a mess. Fell off a stool, couldn’t recall the lyrics, mumbled through most songs etc. So happy he got sober and is doing well.
Omg I can't believe you're just now discovering Joe Walsh !! This was Before The Eagles not to mention an impressive solo career... Joe Walsh is usually always on any top 20 or top 10 greatest guitarist list.. Check out. " Turn To Stone " " Rocky Mountain Way" " Walk Away" ... check out also .. " Life's Been Good" " I Like Big Tits" " Waffle Stomp " and " The Confessor" 😄😄😄
There are some really good live versions of Turn To Stone out there including some amazing guitar and flute solos. Santa Monica 1976 and Houston 1978 are a couple.
There is a version on YT of Turn to Stone with Joe Walsh and as second guitar Don Felder, and I think is the better version of this song I had ever hear of. Damn genius
@@davidboivin7996 best version musically i reckon is Roy Buchanans .. turn to stone cover .. be good for them to do a comparrison ... or G Moore doing Roy Buchanans .. the messiah will come again then a comparrison with Roys from the 76 austin city limits texas live session ...
The legendary Joe Walsh!!! His album titles were great.."The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" and "There Goes The Neighborhood". In addition to his solo stuff he gave the Eagles a kick in the ass when he joined them in the 70's....."Life In The Fast Lane".
You guys gotta hear Joe Walsh do "Rocky Mountain Way" You will listen to It for the rest of your Lives....Funky Rock ! The Album "The smoker you drink..The player you get"
Joe Walsh was the coolest most grounded mega rock star. He took what he did seriously but never took him self seriously. He sang a song about every day man which had a line “picked up the dog doo tell me it’s hard”
Those riffs are unforgettable. This song has saved my sanity many times as I was stuck in Chicago traffic. Just banging on the steering wheel in rhythm...something about it evens out my mind.
The Confessor is a masterpiece and is supposedly about his turnaround in life of drugs and hard drinking! A beginning of how evil life can be and swings right in to hard rock that’s played with a great deal of passion expressed by his guitar solo then revealing of what is best to give up in life!
I worked at a record store in high school in Chicago. Every tuesday it was my job to unpack & label every new album. I saw the picture of them on their choppers & thought" I have no Idea who they are but just because of the cover I'm buying this!" That was something I hadn't done before. Cranked it up on the stores sound system & this was the first song I ever heard of theirs. Man! We got in 25 copies & half were sold to us employees before we even opened.
Congratulations to the Bengals and you Jay...not gonna lie, that second half was hard for us Chiefs fans. Especially sitting in Arrowhead! Hopefully Joe and Patrick can have a long rivalry! Joe Walsh is a deep rabbit hole you guys need to go down. His James Gang, solo, and Eagles work is outstanding!!
Before James Gang Joe and Joe the drummer were part of a band called The Measles I played bass in another high school band - Battle of the bands at a YMCA gym - we nailed Johnny Be Good - then this band cleaned our clocks. They were a house band in Kent Ohio for a few years.
There was a golden age when record companies had the courage to let their artists step out of their recognised genres and create new and interesting sounds. I am so glad Joe Walsh was a part of that because he certainly made good use of the creative freedom.
One of Joe Walsh's most famous riffs is the Eagles' "Life In The Fast Lane". Originally it was something Joe used to warm up before he played. Even just messing around, this guy knew how to play the guitar. Phenomonal musician.
Joe Walsh! My first concert in Cleveland and so fitting I had an isle seat. Rocking out to this and I feel a tap on my shoulder, I look up to a big cop passing me a joint from across the isle. It was so crazy I just said thanks man!
Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells. Thank you for reacting to "Draggin' the Line." The group has so many more hits, "I think we’re Alone Now, "Crystal Blue Persuasion." I hope to hear them again very soon.
It's says alot for T.J. that Joan Jett covered that one. (I think) Her career is primarily covers- no disrespect. That's a list with The Doors and Alice Cooper among many others.
PRMillette…. Tommy and the band are still rockin it ! Saw them the summer before Covid at the Roof Garden Ballroom in Okoboji , Iowa. He encourages people to get up and dance to the songs.
This song has, scientifically, the exactly correct amount of cowbell. For a gentler classical taste of the band's value, also listen to "Ashes, the Rain, and I". 'Tis beautiful like y'all.
The Bomber, Joe Walsh, has always been known for his amazing guitar riffs. His early stuff with the James Gang is wonderful. Check out Joe's solo career. The song, "Life's Been Good To Me So Far", is a comedic gem.
I’ve watched your videos all evening, and I’m crying my eyes out! So many happy tears! It’s so wonderful to see people enjoy fun music the first time, it’s like I get to hear it the first time again too! You two are awesome and made me so happy tonight! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your kindness and warmth make the world a better place! 💜💜💜
This man is a great guitarist and just a fun and funny guy. This is the same man who brought you the albums There Goes the Neighborhood(cover art featuring Joe on a tank in the middle of a garbage dump), The Smoker You Drink the Player You Get and of course Got Any Gum? You do also need to listen to The Confessor and pay attention to the lyrics especially the closing lines.
Another Joe Walsh great is a song he wrote and performed for movie "The Worriers" song called "In The City" The eagles loved so much they put it on one of their albums.
Ok, and now you are hooked!! It wasn’t a party without the James Gang on the turntable!! They just have every aspect of great rockers! Our poor vinyl was completely destroyed by playing it so much! You guys really got a great gasp of great music! Oh & yes, Joe Walsh is legendary! ♥️The old white woman
What a fun reaction! Next check out the song “Turn to Stone” from his 1974 album “So What.” It’s a slow burn and has a killer riff. His future bandmates Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Randy Meisner provided background vocals.
The James Gang formed at Kent State University. When Joe comes back for a show in the Cleveland area, often the other 2 members Jimmy Fox on drums, and Dale Peters on bass will join Joe for a song or 2. I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers here, just a few months before Tom died, Joe Walsh opened and Jimmy and Dale came out and played this.
Joe was a total party guy. He destroyed countless hotel rooms in the 1970's. Probably my favorite guitar riff is on The Eagles "Life in the Fast Lane". Joe Walsh at his best.
Yes!!! This song is the epitome of Classic Rock. Such a great intro and cool guitar riff. I also vote for Life's Been Good as your next song to check out by Joe Walsh. Thanks!
If you haven't done it yet, give Midnight Man and Rosewood Bitters a listen. They both have a much more relaxing vibe. I used to sneak into a bar in Kent, Ohio (home of Kent State University, the sight of the May 4th tragedy) to hear them play when I was in high school in the early '70s
As a young protégé of Bob Seger, Glenn Frey knew Joe Walsh and the James Gang before he went to LA and eventually founded the Eagles. When they wanted to put a harder edge on their music, he found that Joe was available and he knew Joe could provide just what they wanted. For your next James Gang/early Joe Walsh song, check out "Woman". Has a vibe all it's own.
I spent many hours in my young teens. Sitting in my room with my headphones on. Listening to Joe Walsh and his guitar. Over and over and over, hes a master.
That's the legendary Joe Walsh you're listening to. Last October I went to the Eagles concert in LA, and at one point they cut loose Joe Walsh for a 5 minute solo. He had the whole place awestruck. Afterwards, one of the band members got on the mic and said, "You never know what you're going to get with Joe Walsh but you know it's going to be good!"
There is a song by John Cougar (John Mellecamp, John Cougar Mellencamp, etc) titled 'I Need A Lover' that has a great opening instrumental. I could listen to just that for 5:00 without the lyrics.
Funk #48 is awesome too! Not many can say they are in this club: great success in two groups as well as a solo act! Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney - can you name any others?
Since you love their instrumental side I highly recommend The Bomber (7 minute version) next. A banger.. To hear them do something that actually feels great on an overcast or gloomy day, try Tend My Garden and Take A Look Around. For some more rocking out, try Woman or Stop.
Ya'll NEED to ck out Live at Daryl's House - Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates hosts an amazing list of artists!! It's a whole rabbit hole in and of itself! Know I'm not a Patreon but you won’t regret this!!!
"Bluesy and funky" indeed. The trio was a force - beyond nature. The JG Rides Again is great album. Check out "Tend My Garden, Take a Look Around, and Closet Queen/the Bomber." Thanks for covering.
Speaking of giving the people what they want, perhaps it's time for Amber to get her horns fix...'Beginnings' from Chicago ....try to get the long version. Thanks for all of your hard work! Our love to those wee bairns!
You guys are my favorite reaction channel. I'm glad you finally found the James gang and Joe's his first band before joining the Eagles later on. James gang was a party band and a funky band. They have such great music you should research and do some more reactions for the James game and Joe Walsh himself. Thanks again.
Seen the Eagles just before covid and they are as good as always. They just announced more tour dates. It's A Hotel California Album tour. I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw them a few months back, when the tour resumed. They are still incredible. It was a great concert and to see the entire "Hotel California" album performed live, then their other hits was such a treat!
Joe is the riff master. You should catch him on the Live From Daryl’s House episode. A whole hour of Joe, Daryl Hall and his house band. Pure magic.🔥🔥🔥👍👍🔥
Now y'all go check out this song but they play "Live at Daryl's house". You'll be able to see what everyone is doing & playing. Daryl Hall is from "Hall & Oates" group .. not sure if y'all have reacted to Amy of their stuff yet either. But anyway you two go listen & watch funk 49 live at Daryl's house!!!
Joe Walsh is so talented and has always been a rebel. He's lent his talent to several groups, most importantly, the Eagles. He is also the brother-in-law of Ringo Starr (they married sisters), so you can imagine the flow of great musicians in and out of their lives. Please continue your deep dives into Joe's catalog.
I saw Joe Walsh perform at the University of Texas. He had Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Ray Wyle Hubbard opening for him. Joe said he had only had put his band together a few weeks prior and i noticed a couple of members were from Ray Wyle's band. Seemed odd but i later found out that Ringo had played Ray Wyle's song Snake Farm to Joe and he called Mr. Hubbard wanting to know what Amp he used for his guitar on Snake Farm and that led to them becoming friends and touring for a little bit.
Can't go wrong with Joe! Btw, I work with a designer/artist and I asked him to create something special for J. You are a bigger Bengals fan than we are and we live in Ohio, lol. I'm hoping to get it to you before Super Bowl Sunday. Fingers crossed. Great reaction as always!
Joe Walsh. Saw him with Ringo's All-Star band. "Rocky Mountain Way" is his legendary hit. "Ordinary Average Guy" is where his reggae skills blow you mind (although "Problems" might be his best reggae tune ever). "I broke my Leg" is just the coolest song ever. I love, love, love that tune by Joe Walsh. Walk off some pounds by putting on the ear buds and listening to "Good Man Down". Works every time for me. The perfect brisk pace.
While touring with the James Gang they were opening for The Allman Brothers and that was when Duane Allman taught Joe Walsh how to play slide guitar... resulting in many of his later songs including Rocky Mountain Way. :) This is the music I grew up listening to. Often on WMMS out of Cleveland. Yeah, I'm a Browns fan and for ONE game I will be rooting for the Bengals. Then we go back to being rivals :)
That rattlesnake sound is made by a percussion instrument called a vibra-slap. I know, it sounds like a sex toy 😆, but it's heard on the soundtracks of many westerns, and on songs like Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower. "
Joe Walsh and Mark Knopfler and Neil Schon - my favorite guitarists of the 70s-80s. And to think that I had never, ever heard of the James Gang. Thank you!!!
Kickin' jam for 3 guys. Everything Joe Walsh did was gold. Saw him once in concert, def in my top 10 shows EVER. The Eagles got better imo when he joined them. He also did some great guitar work for Dan Fogelberg, an artist who i think Amber would really like.
Remember Joe Walsh was in the Eagles...along with Glen Fry and Don Henley. Henley is the one you haven't heard and he's the singing drummer and the soul of the Eagles. His solo work is awesome. "All She Wants To Do is Dance", " Sunset Grill", "Boys of Summer" and more!!!
First like to say happy for your team win yesterday. I am a die hard Chiefs fan . I will be rooting for your team at the super bowl. This song brings back the 70's so much for me. Love the instrumentals and the raspy voice.
You always make me smile with every discovery of a new artist, band, or song! Got one for FEMALE FRIDAY from the late 70s: Chrissie Hynde, lead singer and primary song-writer for the Pretenders. I recommend this later live performance (she's in her 50s here) with a surprise for Amber near the end. ua-cam.com/video/eiW_NI9stp8/v-deo.html
Attended an outside wedding reception with a stage setup. They invited anyone with a guitar to come up and jam. The whole front of the stage was lined with players and this was the song they jammed to. Try The Bomber or Walk Away by the guys.
Y'all got me in tears. I've had to watch this reaction several times. I did them live and had forgotten how they made me feel. Another Band that could take thousands on that trip together ❤️
Man .. y'all didn't do the live vid ☹️ That's one of the best things .. watching Joe Walsh!!! Joe is my fave rock guitarist .. he just sooo much fun & the faces he makes while playing. But I'm so stoked y'all got back to him .. awesome jam right here.
You definitely need to hear Rocky Mountain Way next. Total BANGER! And the album it’s on…. The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get….. One of the best album titles ever!!
Some other suggestions: The autobiographical "Life's Been Good", probably Joe Walsh's most well-known, signature song, sense of humor firmly intact. The Eagles "Life in the Fast Lane", sung by Don Henley with with another of Joe's iconic guitar riffs. Amazing lyrics by the way. The mellow "Help Me Thru the Night", a Joe Walsh solo song that features backing vocals by members of the Eagles. "In the City" - written and sung by Joe Walsh, as a member of the Eagles.
That crazy lil band from OHIO. The James Gang would warm up for gigs with what they called FUNKs. This was #49. A GREAT choice to help celebrate the BENGALS WIN. WHODEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯
Before the Eagles and before some of his big solo hits, James Gang was a hidden jewel in the Rock scene.
This is 70s ROCK AND ROLL BABY ,
From whom?
Yes Yes Yes 🙌
why bring up The Eagles... just bc Joe Walsh played for them? PFFT... Eagles were easy listening, The James Gang ROCKED!!!
Joe Walsh is a legend...his solo career was successful as well. Everything he touched became gold.
I have Joe in my top ten guitarists of all time.
Life's been good to him so far. 😋
James Gang is pure 🔥🔥🔥! And Joe Walsh is the riff master!! 🔥🤙
My personal instructor was part of Joe Walsh’s touring band in the 80s. He’s got some really crazy stories!! I think Glenn Frey put it best … Joe was a crazy group of guys!!

My favorite quote by Glenn Frey: "Don Henley could suck the fun right out of a room."
@@no2all I suspect that is still true. Just ask Rick Beato...
@@williameisenman9008 Heh! Yeah...no kidding.
Who was it? I know some of those guys too!
Omg I can't believe you're just now discovering Joe Walsh !! This was Before The Eagles not to mention an impressive solo career... Joe Walsh is usually always on any top 20 or top 10 greatest guitarist list..
Check out. " Turn To Stone " " Rocky Mountain Way" " Walk Away" ... check out also .. " Life's Been Good" " I Like Big Tits" " Waffle Stomp " and " The Confessor" 😄😄😄
Their most well known song by hearing it , if not by title.
Life's Been Good by Joe Walsh should be on the 'to do' list.
Absolutely! "Life's Been Good" is his ICONIC song.
most definetely agree
That and One Day At A Time.
Yes!!
Yes, don't miss out on one of Joe Walsh's greatest tunes. Life's Been Good is a classic.
Tend My Garden James Gang. The Bomber James Gang.
James Gang was one of the great power trios. Dale Peters on bass and Jim Fox on drums. They were tight.
"Turn to Stone" is a song Joe Walsh did between the James Gang and Eagles days, and is a guitar feast. Try it!
Fact!🎸
" Barnstorm " & " Smoker You Drink " really enjoyed both of those J. Walsh albums
There are some really good live versions of Turn To Stone out there including some amazing guitar and flute solos. Santa Monica 1976 and Houston 1978 are a couple.
There is a version on YT of Turn to Stone with Joe Walsh and as second guitar Don Felder, and I think is the better version of this song I had ever hear of.
Damn genius
@@davidboivin7996 best version musically i reckon is Roy Buchanans .. turn to stone cover .. be good for them to do a comparrison ... or G Moore doing Roy Buchanans .. the messiah will come again then a comparrison with Roys from the 76 austin city limits texas live session ...
The legendary Joe Walsh!!! His album titles were great.."The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" and "There Goes The Neighborhood". In addition to his solo stuff he gave the Eagles a kick in the ass when he joined them in the 70's....."Life In The Fast Lane".
They needed that kick, too.
Joe's version of "Rocky Mountain Way" from Live At Daryl's House is EPIC! I highly recommend it.
I had to post the link to it cuz it kicks azz ua-cam.com/video/K4xN7Z9z5cM/v-deo.html

I got to see him perform ‘Rocky Mountain Way” at the foot of the Rockies in Colorado Springs! It was awesome!
Blue Oyster Cult opened for him .
@@ssshadowwolf6762 I have always loved Joe Walsh. Unique guitar player. Rocks hard with a great sense of humor!
Joe Walsh was the coolest most grounded mega rock star. He took what he did seriously but never took him self seriously. He sang a song about every day man which had a line “picked up the dog doo tell me it’s hard”
This is one of my all-time favorite songs
Those riffs are unforgettable. This song has saved my sanity many times as I was stuck in Chicago traffic. Just banging on the steering wheel in rhythm...something about it evens out my mind.
"Life's Been Good" and "The Confessor" by Joe Walsh are two to definitely add to your list. You can always expect some great riffs from Joe.
The confessor is awesome
I love "Life's Been Good to Me So Far." The lyrics are great!
The Confessor is a masterpiece and is supposedly about his turnaround in life of drugs and hard drinking! A beginning of how evil life can be and swings right in to hard rock that’s played with a great deal of passion expressed by his guitar solo then revealing of what is best to give up in life!
The Confessor is some of the best rock guitar on the planet. Joe doesn't mess around on that song. What tone He has...Incredible !
Absolutely! Both are amazing!
JOE WALSH: "Meadows" "Turn To Stone" "The Confessor" "Life Of Illusion"
I worked at a record store in high school in Chicago. Every tuesday it was my job to unpack & label every new album.

He encourages people to get up and dance to the songs.
You can see how, even here in the early 70's, Joe was ahead of the curve and pushing and advancing the sound of mainstream American rock.
I so love watching both of you because you fell the music and that's really what it's all about good vibes !
This song has, scientifically, the exactly correct amount of cowbell.
For a gentler classical taste of the band's value, also listen to "Ashes, the Rain, and I".
'Tis beautiful like y'all.
Proud to say I still have the vinyl version of this. Loved it back in early college, still love it (and listen to it) today!!
The Bomber, Joe Walsh, has always been known for his amazing guitar riffs. His early stuff with the James Gang is wonderful. Check out Joe's solo career. The song, "Life's Been Good To Me So Far", is a comedic gem.
Super great reaction guys, we used to air guitar the heck out this song when we were kids!!!

What a fun reaction! Next check out the song “Turn to Stone” from his 1974 album “So What.” It’s a slow burn and has a killer riff. His future bandmates Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Randy Meisner provided background vocals.

I didn't remember the name of the song, but once I heard the first three notes it came back like a train, I love it thanks for the flash back.
Great reaction! You need to give your ears real treat and check out The James Gang: The Bomber. What a ride that is.
If you haven't done it yet, give Midnight Man and Rosewood Bitters a listen. They both have a much more relaxing vibe. I used to sneak into a bar in Kent, Ohio (home of Kent State University, the sight of the May 4th tragedy) to hear them play when I was in high school in the early '70s
Great selection! So this is Joe Walsh from the Eagles.
Actually this is Joe Walsh of the James Gang
He's all over the place!
I found he and other Eagles are on some old Dan Fogelberg albums.
"Illinois"
"Phoenix"
"Someone's Been Telling You Stories"
The percussive and primal screaming always made me think of hippies and a drum circle, maybe after something psychedelic was kicking in.
Joe Walsh. Love it. Listen to Walk Away.

Can't go wrong with Joe! Btw, I work with a designer/artist and I asked him to create something special for J. You are a bigger Bengals fan than we are and we live in Ohio, lol. I'm hoping to get it to you before Super Bowl Sunday. Fingers crossed. Great reaction as always!
I haven't even watched yet but I know it will be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jimmy Fox is such an underrated drummer. Love this band. Great reaction
Joe Walsh. Saw him with Ringo's All-Star band. "Rocky Mountain Way" is his legendary hit. "Ordinary Average Guy" is where his reggae skills blow you mind (although "Problems" might be his best reggae tune ever). "I broke my Leg" is just the coolest song ever. I love, love, love that tune by Joe Walsh. Walk off some pounds by putting on the ear buds and listening to "Good Man Down". Works every time for me. The perfect brisk pace.
"Ordinary Average Guy" not only shows Joe's reggae skills.- it shows off his skills for talking about dog doo in an entertaining way.
While touring with the James Gang they were opening for The Allman Brothers and that was when Duane Allman taught Joe Walsh how to play slide guitar... resulting in many of his later songs including Rocky Mountain Way. :) This is the music I grew up listening to. Often on WMMS out of Cleveland. Yeah, I'm a Browns fan and for ONE game I will be rooting for the Bengals. Then we go back to being rivals :)
Love this band!! All talented dudes!!🤘🔥
That rattlesnake sound is made by a percussion instrument called a vibra-slap. I know, it sounds like a sex toy 😆, but it's heard on the soundtracks of many westerns, and on songs like Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower. "
Joe Walsh can really make a guitar sing! Love his sound in all his songs!
"Mississippi Queen" by Mountain is right up your alley. Banger!!
I'm promise you guys will love Down by the River by Neil Young and Crazy Horse.
Who dey by the way!!!
AGREE! Studio Version! If it's still there and doesn't get blocked!
This song was an improvisation in the studio. An example of Joe's incredible abilities
Don't forget... this is a power trio. 3 guys are making this sound.
Some others, Cream, Jimi Hendrix experience, ZZ Top
And Grand Funk Railroad 😉😊 (one of my favorite bands)
Rush
There’s more than 3 jack ass
Nirvana was a power trio
@@johnphillipsjr7238 Really nice.
Joe Walsh and Mark Knopfler and Neil Schon - my favorite guitarists of the 70s-80s. And to think that I had never, ever heard of the James Gang. Thank you!!!
Kickin' jam for 3 guys. Everything Joe Walsh did was gold. Saw him once in concert, def in my top 10 shows EVER. The Eagles got better imo when he joined them. He also did some great guitar work for Dan Fogelberg, an artist who i think Amber would really like.
Remember Joe Walsh was in the Eagles...along with Glen Fry and Don Henley. Henley is the one you haven't heard and he's the singing drummer and the soul of the Eagles. His solo work is awesome. "All She Wants To Do is Dance", " Sunset Grill", "Boys of Summer" and more!!!
Dirty Laundry, too
That’s the jam you put on to get the party started.
Even tho you already been hitting the bottle 🥴👍
First like to say happy for your team win yesterday. I am a die hard Chiefs fan . I will be rooting for your team at the super bowl. This song brings back the 70's so much for me. Love the instrumentals and the raspy voice.
Same here Lisa. Chiefs shoulda, coulda but didn’t, so we gotta stick with our boy J.
You always make me smile with every discovery of a new artist, band, or song! Got one for FEMALE FRIDAY from the late 70s: Chrissie Hynde, lead singer and primary song-writer for the Pretenders.
I recommend this later live performance (she's in her 50s here) with a surprise for Amber near the end.

Attended an outside wedding reception with a stage setup. They invited anyone with a guitar to come up and jam. The whole front of the stage was lined with players and this was the song they jammed to.
Try The Bomber or Walk Away by the guys.
Y'all got me in tears. I've had to watch this reaction several times. I did them live and had forgotten how they made me feel. Another Band that could take thousands on that trip together ❤️
Man .. y'all didn't do the live vid ☹️ That's one of the best things .. watching Joe Walsh!!! Joe is my fave rock guitarist .. he just sooo much fun & the faces he makes while playing. But I'm so stoked y'all got back to him .. awesome jam right here.
You definitely need to hear Rocky Mountain Way next. Total BANGER!
And the album it’s on….
The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get…..
One of the best album titles ever!!
Yasss!! Great song!! Gosh takes me right back!!!! Thx guys. Love and peace. Can’t ever miss joe Walsh’s voice
52 years later and this song still sounds great!!!!!
Good choice guys! Love this song and I used to cover it in a couple of my bands. Such a fun tune to play too.
Some other suggestions:
The autobiographical "Life's Been Good", probably Joe Walsh's most well-known, signature song, sense of humor firmly intact.
The Eagles "Life in the Fast Lane", sung by Don Henley with with another of Joe's iconic guitar riffs. Amazing lyrics by the way.
The mellow "Help Me Thru the Night", a Joe Walsh solo song that features backing vocals by members of the Eagles.
"In the City" - written and sung by Joe Walsh, as a member of the Eagles.
Another great song from the 60's and 70's, as an old person I appreciate that music more now than before
Joe has been a legend since he was a kid his contributions are uncountable…..He’s just a Rock God to the core
That crazy lil band from OHIO. The James Gang would warm up for gigs with what they called FUNKs. This was #49. A GREAT choice to help celebrate the BENGALS WIN. WHODEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯
Saw the James Gang back in the 70s. Fantastic! Check out their Live at Carnegie Hall album. The cover art is hilarious......front & back.
I was 15 when this song came out and hiding in my room listening to this song and hoping my evil stepdad would not beat me for being a hippie lol
