Joe Walsh Biography
From his early hits with the James Gang through to his tenure
with the Eagles -- as well as a successful solo career -- Joe Walsh
remained one of the most colorful characters in rock & roll,
lending his distinctively reedy vocals, off-the-wall lyrics, and
expansive guitar leads to a series of AOR staples including Funk #49,
Rocky Mountain Way, and Life's Been Good. Born November 20, 1947 in
Wichita, KS, Walsh initially studied the oboe and clarinet, later
playing bass in local bands the G-Clefs and the Nomads; while attending
Kent State University, he finally picked up the guitar, fronting the
collegiate combo the Measles from 1965 to 1969. He then joined the
Cleveland-based hard rock trio the James Gang, appearing on their debut
LP Yer' Album. The trio's 1970 album, The James Gang Rides Again,
proved the group's commercial breakthrough, launching the FM radio
favorite Funk #49 and achieving gold status. While the follow-up,
Thirds, was another success, yielding the classic Walk Away, Walsh
found the James Gang's power-trio format too confining and left the
group soon after.
After relocating to Colorado, Walsh formed a new group, Barnstorm,
recorded a self-titled 1972 LP before making his proper solo debut the
following year with The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get. The
record cracked the Top Ten on the strength of the pop hit Rocky
Mountain Way and was followed in 1974 by So What. In the wake of
1976's You Can't Argue with a Sick Mind, Walsh replaced guitarist
Bernie Leadon in the hugely popular West Coast rock quintet the Eagles,
making his debut on their best-selling Hotel California album. He also
continued his solo career, issuing But Seriously, Folks in 1978; the
record's highlight, the hilarious Life's Been Good -- a dead-on
portrait of rock star debauchery -- became his biggest pop hit, nearly
reaching the Top Ten. In 1979, Walsh announced his campaign for
President of the United States, promising free gas for everyone if he
won (he didn't.) The Eagles' final studio album, the chart-topping The
Long Run, appeared that same year.
The soundtrack to the film Urban Cowboy generated Walsh's next solo
smash, All Night Long, which cracked the Top Twenty in the summer of
1980; although 1981's There Goes the Neighborhood featured his final
Top 40 entry, A Life of Illusion, he continued recording steadily,
resurfacing in 1983 with You Bought It--You Name It and issuing The
Confessor two years later. In between, Walsh ran for the vice
presidency, again unsuccessfully. Following 1987's Got Any Gum?, he
toured with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band, returning to his solo career
for 1991's Ordinary Average Guy. In 1994 he joined the reunited Eagles
for their blockbuster Hell Freezes Over tour and remained on the road
as a solo act for years to come. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
