As promised THC compiled a Joe Walsh guitar mashup showcasing some of his best riffs. This 14-minute clip features 20 selections from 14 tunes as listed below. THC had forgotten how much good music Joe made. All the songs are from Joe's solo album except where otherwise indicated. It's best to listen to this LOUD.
Fun fact THC came across while putting this together. Joe and Ringo Starr are brothers in law; Ringo's been married to Barbara Bach since 1981 and Joe married her sister Majorie in 2008.
The good news is that Joe has been sober and drug free for twenty years and is back on the road playing. You can watch a recent interview with him here. And here he is playing one of his new tunes with Daryl Hall and his band.

This inspired me to go back and listen to a couple of classic Joe Walsh albums: "So What?" and "Life's Been Good." In addition to the incredible guitar playing, there is some really great production, especially on "Life's Been Good", and I always liked Joe Vitale's drumming. This weekend I think I'll listen to the full episode of Joe Walsh's appearance on "Live from Daryl's House." -bill f
