When Joe Walsh joined the James Gang in 1968, he turned heads with a unique tone and playing style that would both become hallmarks of his long and accomplished career. Over three decades of critical and commercial success as a solo artist, member of the Eagles, and continually evolving artist, Joe is a rare and admirable member of the Rock and Roll elite.
