Joe Walsh made a huge impact when replacing Bertie Leadon in the Eagles, on the back of the hugely successful 'Hotel California' album in 1976. This solo album produced two years later shows Walsh at his best, featuring the superb hit single 'Life's Been Good,' a song which acurately described his lifestyle at the time. Other gems include 'Over And Over' - a song that would fit in perfectly with the 'Rumours era' of Fleetwood Mac - and the gorgeous 'Indian Summer,' though arguably the highlight of the album is the instumental passage of 'Inner Tube' coupled with 'Theme From Boat Weirdos.' Walsh's guitar playing is electrifying and his style so beautifully laid back that it conjures up a calming paradise. Above all, it shows that he could cut it as a solo artist; this release only adds to his immense repitoire.

I love rock music. the standard four piece group Led Zep for instance. when I expanded my musical horizons I bought a few records by Joe Walsh after seeing a song on the beebs Old grey whistle test. and over the years I have almost all his output.I still keep coming back to 'But seriously folks.' Joe writes songs about every day problems and pours his heart out in a way a hell of a lotta writers cant. for example Tomorrow track five, We all have a times found there is so much to do that you just cant organize your self to fit it all in!as Joe puts it sit yourself down and make a list of all the things to do, then worry about it tomorrow! third song Indian summer, clever lyrics again.( we never needed bait where we use to go, just a safety pin hook on a bamboo pole, take the big ones home let the little ones go). What I mean is there are no songs about what he's gunner do to his woman when he gets her home or how much he misses his (baby) type stuff just intelligent well written songs and really great music. imagine when recording the basic tracks with guitar bass drums and keyboards, then adding little sections of flute, vocal harmonies and layered guitar parts it is an incredible album and I hope I have explained why!

Every track's a gem but my particular favorite is 'Tomorrow'. I remember hearing this in a friends house, it was one of a small number of albums we listened to constantly for a whole sunny 70's summer, I bought it on tape, then I bought it on LP and now I listen to it on CD and my MP3 player. Thanks Joe.

If you dissect the Eagles' efforts of the past 30 years you get to wonder how the guitar plays such a subliminal but critical part. This feller is the answer!

Joe Walsh- Perhaps the best music artist ever!
All of this album is outstanding, but special mention must go for his hit 'Life's Been Good'. This song includes a fantastic mix of different pianos, guitars, synthesisers and... Read more
