James Gang - Walk Away | REACTION

Joe Walsh, as a guitarist, singer and music writer, has been so underrated in music history; he needs some love!

[@827dusty]

Way before the Eagles. The James Gang was Joe's Baby. Then everyone wanted him to join their Band. The Eagles were already a top 5 Band, but after Joe Walsh dissolved The James Gang, he joined The Eagles, and had an immediate impact. He gave them that Bad Boys element the Eagles never had. While he was never considered "The guy", he changed that Band for the better. Joe Walsh was the missing ingredient they were looking for. After that, they were at the top, or very near the top of Rock's pecking order.

[@flyingburritobro68]

827dusty Joe didn’t dissolve the James Gang. First off it wasn’t his band. It was founded by drummer Jimmy Fox thus the name James Gang. He left solo on good terms with The Gang who continued on initially with Dominic Toriano but later with guitar legend Tommy Bolin who Walsh recommended to the Gang.

[@helmedon]

@@flyingburritobro68 I was just going g to say the same thing. Jimmy is a good friend of my dad's. He founded the band and kept going after Joe left. There was a lot of hard feelings between them for a while.

[@SweetTreat-wl2yl]

Thank you kind sir, I do enjoy seeing you enjoying the good old tunes I enjoyed when young and ever since. That's a lot of enjoyment! When stationed in Ol' Miss, I was lucky to catch the James Gang 3 times in New Orleans in 1971. Most of the details have faded after 40 years, (orange sunshine was involved,) but they were the best shows I ever experienced. Clear in my mind is Joe jumping around the stage, and in the middle of songs, blending/taking over the bass guitar, and the drums, adding piano as well. Standing in front of the stage, feeling the force of those Marshall amps, best times ever. Still one of favorite bands. My #1 guitar hero (sorry, kids.) I think the James gang broke up shortly after, and Joe headed the band Barnstorm in 1972 as well as solo work (I think The Confessor was a bit of that,) _then_ he joined the Eagles, making very good more better. (Apologies, grammar purists.) Thank you again, stay safe, and I hope your enthusiasm continues.

[@06mustangCE]

My parents brought me along to a Joe Walsh concert in the early 90's at the old Circle Star Theater in the Bay Area a few years before they tore it down. I was pretty young and fell asleep at some point but Joe ordered pizza for the whole audience (for real). I remember we had pretty good seats and Joe saw me wake up once the pizza showed up and made some jokes about it that made everybody laugh. I don't remember much of it but apparently it was pretty amusing to a few thousand people. lol. Good times.

Thus they followed through, forming The Eagles & we all know the rest.

Jamel because of your laid back personality I agree with some others here that you should react to his "Average Ordinary Guy" and "Two Sides To Every Story" . Maybe the sequel to this Funk 50. Another good underrated song other shave suggest is "The Confessor". After this you need to start to work in some rock from Tesla or some good old blues with Albert Collins.

This was a great reaction. I’ve always known James Gang but have had them on replay all the time recently. This album especially!!

Great tune! Always loved it, Joe, one of the best ever! Way before the Eagles.
