    Another good James Gang song is "Walk Away." Then Joe Walsh joined the Eagles, then went solo again and had several more good songs.

    This song came out in 1971. In 1984 the movie footloose ripped off this sound. When Joe Walsh was asked about it, he said oh well mozart never got royalties. Joe could afford to be generous. He made more money from his James Gang days, solo career, and career with the Eagles than he could spend on drinking and drugs. Joe said it was a miracle he survived and has been sober for a long time. Kenny Loggins, who wrote the song for Footloose claims he did not rip Joe off. I beg to differ. He is lucky Joe did not go after him as you can clearly hear the similarity. The James Gang was another power trio like Cream and Grand Funk Railroad.

    Joe Walsh IS the band. Joe's legendary guitar magic can be seen and heard in James Gang, Barnstorm, then he joined Eagles, and has had a great solo career. Take a listen to him play Life's Been Good to Me. Won't regret it.

    James Gang was the first project to have Joe Walsh. James Gang released a few albums, Joe went solo for a few years, joined the Eagles for their last few albums in the 70's. When the Eagles took a 14 year break, Joe continued to record solo material. The Eagles reformed in the 90s and he's been a member since. When he's not playing with them or recording solo stuff, he has played with his brother-in-law Ringo Starr's All Starr Band from time to time.

    That’s Joe Walsh in his younger days. He’s been very prolific and and successful both as a solo artist and as a member of The Eagles. Walk Away, Turn To Stone, In The City and Rocky Mountain Way are some of his greatest hits. Probably his greatest work is the dual solo with Don Felder on Hotel California. That has been humorously referred to as a bad Yelp review with a 3 minute guitar solo 😂

    This song puts me in the backseat of my parents '72 Monte Carlo as soon as it starts.

    "Rocky Mountain Way" is another banger by The James Gang...

    Bam! It's been used in the commercial arena. It never got over played. 'Turned To Stone' is another gem of theirs.

    James Gang is great, but Joe Walsh is also great on his own.

    Take a look at Joe Walsh's dueling guitar set on Hotel California when he was with the Eagles. ICONIC.

    You will love anything by Joe Walsh or a Joe Walsh band. He was in sooo many important rock bands: James Gang, Eagles, and lots of solo work. He's been on TV cameos, sat in on Steve Colbert's band for a week. He's a lot of fun!!

    If you've ever reacted to "Hotel California ", the live version, but the Eagles, Joe Walsh is the guy in the bandana playing the quitar solo at the end. And if you haven't reacted to it, you need to.
