Joe Walsh's Greatest Hits: Little Did He Know... (CD)

Joe Walsh is one of rock's most lovably odd figures. As a member of the James Gang and as Bernie Leidon's replacement in the Eagles, Walsh's page in the rock-history books was firmly secured before he ventured out on his own. Yet both his solo material--a likeable mix of radio-rock riffage and mellow good-time fare--and his quirky yet unpretentious personality made him into a unique stand-alone pop-culture figure. Walsh continued to record and play music into the new millennium, and made frequent appearances on the Drew Carrey show during the 1990s. Walsh was a candidate for President of the United States in 1980. He was roundly defeated by Ronald Reagan.

Recording information: 1968 - 1991.

Joe Walsh's blues-edged guitar riffs helped define the 'take no prisoners' approach to the rowdy rock & roll party of the seventies. His vocals and guitar work were a call to arms to cut loose and get down. Prior to his well-received service with the Eagles, ,Walsh headed the James Gang, writing and singing their hits, "Walk Away," "The Bomber" and the Beatles-influenced "Midnight Man." All of these and more are contained in this best-of compilation. Along with a healthy portion of his work with the James Gang, this disc also features selections from his solo releases of the '80s, including the sardonic "Life's Been Good" and the rocking "All Night Long."
