Search - Joe Walsh :: Best of

This is my favorite JW compilation. I've always liked his harder, faster stuff, but this has the Joe Walsh music I like even more. "Help Me Through the Night" and "County Fair" have excellent bass and guitar sections and have always been favorites. The humor in Time Out and Mother Says is great. Plus you've got Eagles members Henley, Frey and & Meisner, plus JD Souther for back up vocals. It's just great music to listen to, and I even use it when I'm running or biking. Not all the best songs are the "radio hits", and this cd proves it. (I just wish it had "The All Night Laundromat Blues" on there). :)

"Best of Joe Walsh was released back in the days when they never heard of packing a few extra songs onto a greatest hits album. As a result, this skimpy collection contains only nine songs, two of which are redundant if you already own a James Gang anthology album. Four more come from the classic album "So What," which is a better purchase in its own right. That leaves only three cuts from two classic albums, "Barnstorm" and "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get." Overall, the music here is good. There is just far too little of it."
