“But Seriously, Folks…”

Joe Walsh

A sun-soaked blend of satirical humor and polished California rock. Walsh mocks rock stardom while delivering some of the era's most iconic slide guitar work.

It's the ultimate 'rock star' album made by a guy who thinks being a rock star is a bit of a joke.

A playful, sun-soaked satire of fame that feels like a warm afternoon on the water.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in Life's Been Good where the heavy guitar riff gives way to a whimsical, synthesized reggae-lite breakdown.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on Tomorrow that recall the polished California sound of his Eagles bandmates.
The way the slide guitar on Theme From Boat Weirdos mimics the fluid, drifting sensation of being out at sea.
