Yep, Joe Walsh is a guitar genius. He ain't Clapton, but Joe can suuuuuure play. And to think he did all while smashed on Vodka!

BTW, I have that Album.
I saved all my vinyls and still have my old Elvis 45's too.

I'm considering (time permitting) going through this whole thread and posting the music for those not familiar with it. It is for illustrative purposes only...and in no way condones the illegal downloading of music ;-)

For Guitar openings there's no one that can top JERRY REED

When Jerry walks into the room the other guitar players put their guitars away.

Alabama Wild Man, The Claw, Fine On My Mind, Guitar Man,Tupelo Mississippi Flash.

The James Gang was a great group. Hard-as-hell Joe Walsh guitar + musical professionalism from the other band members = great '70s bread&butter rock. The early '70s was they heyday of instrumentalism in R&B-based pop musc -- not just rock groups like the James Gang, but in funk/pop like Sly & the Family Stone, soul (Marvin Gaye), and jazz-rock (Steely Dan).

Speakin of Joe Walsh, one of my favorite Walsh tunes is "The Bomber". Great stuff!
