Joe Walsh

Although he may claim to be an ordinary average guy and an analog man in a digital world, the truth is that Joe Walsh has a heart of gold. The Eagles and James Gang guitarist recently took time out from his busy schedule to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he sang, signed autographs and posed for pictures with troops who have lost limbs in combat.

The release of the landmark ‘Hotel California’ album was a heady time for the Eagles, who were in a transitional phase, welcoming new guitarist Joe Walsh to their lineup.

Joe Walsh, the musician, has thrown his support behind an Iraq war vet from Illinois who is running for a congressional seat. But what makes this interesting is who Walsh is not backing.

Bruce Springsteen’s been opening up his recent shows with the bold declaration that he’s “the hardest-working white man in show business,” but Joe Walsh may have him beat. A string of solo tour dates throughout May and the summer are just the latest additions to his packed dance card...

Now that Joe Walsh has officially wrapped up ‘Analog Man,’ his first album of new solo material in 20 years, he’s planning to release it in May or June.

James Gang drummer and founder Jimmy Fox recently recalled how he first linked up with guitarist Joe Walsh in an on-air interview with WCNX. Fox gave the guitarist his start in the power trio, so he effectively discovered Walsh in terms of a national audience.

Joe Walsh is certainly planning on being a busy man in the near future, so it’s a good thing we got to talk to him now about his upcoming album ‘Analog Man.’ The guitarist has just hit the road for a solo tour in advance of the planned February 2012 arrival date of the new record, which found him recording his own music digitally for the first time.
