The next logical James Gang song would be "Walk Away." HOWEVER, you ABSOLUTELY have to listen to Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good" if you haven't already. He's the guitarist in the James Gang (and would eventually be in the Eagles, if you didn't know that already). It's got everything but the kitchen sink in there. It's long. It's got sections. Good lyrics. A little keyboard action. It's right up Andy's alley. Another good Joe Walsh song would be "Rocky Mountain Way."

Only Joe Walsh could title an album "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" and have most of fans respond with "exactly!". Wave tops are probably 'Walk Away" from the James Gang and "Rocky Mountain Way" from his solo stuff but there are many, many great deep cuts as well - his records were very even and generally without filler.

I know you guys aren’t big power trio fans, but that’s where all the amazing guitar riffs from the late 60’s-early 70’s originated. That’s also the source of most legendary rock/blues guitarists: Hendrix, Clapton, Gibbons, Trower, Walsh, Beck, Stevie Ray, & more.

It was far more enjoyable to listen to and try to learn than the simple basic 4/4 just keeping the beat that was on the radio at the time. This and Chicago had my full attention as the drummers used the entire kit, not just bass drum, snare, hi-hat with the obligatory cymbal crash every 4 bars

I LOVE that any one reacting to this song always lights up like a little kid on Christmas morning and see's snow up to the window sill and at least 20 EXTRA presents around the tree...

Thanks guys. Love Funk 49. That was the first song I learned to play. It basically became our high school fight song at pep rally's. At football games we had a stage setup in the bleachers and the marching band in front. Played it on an early 70s SG.

Hey A&A you are in for a treat today. This song was meant to be turned up loud. In fact, inside the album cover, it read:"MADE LOUD TO BE PLAYED LOUD"! Funk 49 is from the album, James Gang rides again. 1970. Can't wait to see your reaction! ❤🎸🎸🤘

The tastiest guitar opening ever.

"Walk Away" by James Gang, I'm sure by now you know the guitarist was Joe Walsh who later joined the Eagles after a successful solo career

So glad you guys got to this one. I think you should try The Bomber next (make sure it's the version that's just over 7 minutes).

Now that's the way to start a weekend, swimming in the James Gang sauce!

Always though it was cool how the guitar is in the right channel and the bass is in the left. This was back when they mixed for "true" stereo.

Joe Walsh is awesome. Great guitarist, amazing sense of humor, very versatile performer.

"He is a great bunch of guys"

This song has continued to evolve over time. Joe Walsh appeared on Live From Daryl's House with Daryl Hall and there are more lyrics in that version. I think they actually called it Funk #49-50 actually. Also, Joe and Daryl and the House band totally rock the songs.

Walk Away will get you into the deep end of the pool. Happy Friday, A & A!

Joe Walsh... His first band and the Eagles of course. Joe's a rocker party guy that shreds the guitar and hotel rooms. One of the best

Hey Andy & Alex. I just played this again because I love this song and thought I may as well listen with you again. Loved the reaction, A+ and an A+ song. Joe Walsh is a good one for sure. Check out "Walk Away" form the James Gang, another favorite of mine. Cheers Gents!

Still need Little Feat Spanish Moon from Waiting for Columbus. Lowell George used to play in Frank Zappa's band. This entire album was awesome. btw this is a great choice, too.

I've been pushing for some FEAT for a while. They should do Waiting For Columbus as an entire album!

Love Feat, but Robert Palmer's cover of Spanish Moon improved it.

@@greg901 Have to disagree, but Palmer's Sneaking Sally Through the Alley is amazing. A&A. you guys have to do that!

Definitely do "Walk Away" by James Gang! Tons of great songs from Joe Walsh in general from James Gang, self titled and the Eagles!

Omg these guys were so great. That whole album rocks.

this whole album is outstanding

This was something they warmed up with in sound checks, then it became a song.

Not bad for 1969-70 Trio, Joe Walsh lead guitar vocals, try “Walk Away” Joe had a string of hits and was with the Eagles.

Yes Sir, he gave them the Kick or Sauce that they needed👍

Joe Walsh: Untouchable tone. Often imitated, rarely matched.

"Walk Away" is the next James Gang song to do.

Life's Been Good has some of many favorite lyrics all time.

Or "Turn to Stone" (the 76 Santa Monica version). The best intro ever done by anyone.

Definitely!!!!

"Rides Again" was my introduction to Joe Walsh. Saw them at the old Aragon Ballroom way back in '71 on a bill with, among others, Mason Proffit, Jack Bruce's band and the Siegal-Schwall band. A long show in a small venue (maybe 2K people?) and it was great. Thanks for the great reminder of those thrilling days of yesteryear! Cheers....

Great song! Used to play that on my show! Brings back 46-year-old memories! Thanks for finding my youth!

Yes! Been listening to this song since it was first released. Still a favorite. “Walk Away” and “Rocky Mountain Way” will blow you away. “Life’s Been Good” is the definitive and the legendary song by Joe Walsh. The longer you wait, the more you’re gonna regret not listening sooner. Promise!

I wore that album out growing up...... Inside of the jacket it said "Made loud to be played loud" LOL Joe Walsh is a character for sure.

FYI. You do know this is joe Walsh from the eagles ? I saw them in concert a few times. They were great back in the day. Good job guys !!!

Gentlemen, it's been a year since all this enthusiasm for The James Gang. It's time to ride with them again! You've sampled their funky, jammy side so now I recommend two songs (both atmospheric for Andy) that'll demonstrate their artistic range: The Bomber (a banger of there ever was one and dripping in sauce) and Collage (rock poetry set to strings and a Joe Walsh song without a lead guitar). These are my two favorites from them, hope you'll enjoy them soon.

Hell to the yeah!! 🎸🎤🎶 Excited for this one ☝️ 👍🏼

Great song and must have vinyl. Now on to some Ten Years After

Absolutely like Crickelwood Green Album not the wimpy love to change the word but their ballsy stuff

Now you have to listen to “Funk 48”. That guitarist/lead singer is Joe Walsh

You should listen to The Bomber: Closet Queen: Bolero, it's all good music!
