The James Gang Artist Snapshot:

An American power trio from the early 1970s, the Ohio-bred James Gang, despite never reaching the same heights of stardom as their contemporaries, boasted some seriously killer jams that have remarkably stood the test of time--"Funk #49," 'Walk Away," and "The Bomber" chief among them. Perhaps the most significant thing about the James Gang, however, was the brief presence of guitarist Joe Walsh. In addition to providing the band with its distinctive acid-tinged power-blues sound, Walsh would go on to join the Eagles as well as carving out a successful solo career. The band soldiered on after the soon-to-be superstar's 1971 departure, but never regained the power they had with Walsh at the helm.

Review

CMJ (6/19/00, p.25) - "...Joe Walsh's flashy playing is packed with plenty of his trademark personality, but the rhythm section is the Gang's real treasure, capable of both rock-solid precision and funking up s groove."

Title Note

Personnel includes: Joe Walsh (vocals, 6- & 12-string guitars, piano, organ); Jim Fox (vocals, drums, percussion); Kenny Weiss, Mary Sterpka (vocals); Dale Peters (guitar, bass, background vocals); Tom Kriss (bass); Bill Szymczyk (tambourine, maracas); Bob Webb (background vocals).

Producers: Bill Szymczyk, The James Gang.

Though they weren't among the biggest names in '70s rock, Cleveland band The James Gang undeniably made their mark, with bluesy riff-rockers like "Funk #49" and "Walk Away" becoming classic-rock radio staples. Though the band continued for several years with equally distinctive guitarists after leader Joe Walsh left in the early '70s, the Walsh period is regarded as the band's real heyday, and is the focus of this collection, where hard-charging boogie rock is occasionally leavened by more low-key, reflective moments like "Tend My Garden" and "Collage."
