Analog Man by Joe Walsh

On Rolling Stone.com today one can hear the first single from the forthcoming album from Joe Walsh. Walsh who has had a bit of a comeback in recent months has not released an album in twenty years. Walsh a longtime rock God going back to the James Gang, a sole career, and of course a long membership in The Eagles has over the last decade done a radio show, and toured occassionaly as part of Ringo Starr's All Star Revue's.

On his albums in the late eighties and nineties Walsh recorded some funny songs such as Ordinary Average Guy and I Like Big T*ts.

Still Walsh has made some very good music, The Pretender being one of them.

The reason this most recent song works is that Walsh again is speaking for his target audience. White men who were teenagers in the late seventies and first half of the eighties will enjoy and relate to the lyrics.

Walsh still sounds, if not good, like Walsh. He plays guitar well. The song is a keeper. It made me smile. Hopefully the rest of the album will be as good. We need some actual good music, much of it is a wasteland.

Thanks Joe.
