Episode 140: Light relief via Joe Walsh-best albums

Rock’s funniest moron needs a chance to shine with personal involvement key factor. Chronologically he peaked on James Gang classic Rides Again by effortlessly combining all styles he would eventually disown: hard rock, short danceable guitar workouts, country-rock unequaled apart from Eagles’ debut plus maybe Desperado album if that impresses listener. Barnstorm’s the smoker you drink… lacks anything to match JGRA though definitely contains his most enjoyable work after 1971. However, wrote riff that made Life in the fast Lane resonate while his Pretty maids all in a Row is fantastic (Hotel California benefited greatly from their inclusion). Also noteworthy we hear comedy/serious pieces of interest filling You bought it… first side, other half being mostly filler. Yer ’ Album/Thirds alongside Long Run are worth checking out. 1975’s Best of was surpassed by Greatest Hits-Little did he Know for those wanting just a compilation. 21st century JG Hits does a good job presenting their best with self-destructive musical weirdo.
