Joe Walsh - by Nick Thomas (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This is the first biography of Joe Walsh, from his days in the James Gang to his membership in the Eagles. One of the most colorful characters in all of rock and roll, Walsh has enjoyed a successful musical career for more than five-decades. With his offbeat attitude and quirky sense of humor, he earned a number of nicknames including the Analog Man and the Clown Prince of Rock Guitar. In the process, he wrote and recorded some of the most memorable classics of the 1970s including "Rocky Mountain Way," "Life's Been Good" and "Funk #49." As a member of the Eagles, Walsh helped to craft a number of enduring rock standards such as "Hotel California," "In The City" and "Life In The Fast Lane." This book chronicles Walsh's often-complicated life as a musical showman, a talented guitarist and a much-respected ordinary, average guy.
