Best known for his powerful guitar licks, Joe Walsh has entertained the masses for more than three decades with classics including "Funk #49," "Walk Away," "Life's Been Good," and "Ordinary Average Guy." In 1969 Walsh found success with The James Gang, followed by a stint with Barnstorm, a trio he founded. In 1973 Joe released his first solo album. By 1976 he joined The Eagles, bringing a harder rock sound to the group with the acclaimed Hotel California, The long Run and Eagles Live.
In 1994, after a 14-year hiatus and several solo albums, The Eagles released Hell Freezes Over, which reached #1 on the Billboard charts. In 1998 The Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first year they were nominated. Walsh performed at the 2012 Grammy's with Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl and at the 2012 MusiCares event honoring Paul McCartney. This summer Walsh will release Analog Man, his first solo album in 20 years.
