Tasty blast from the past... Classic Joe Walsh with some classic classical (Bolero) thrown in...

Reminded of this old favorite, rarely heard, from James Gang w/Joe Walsh - very tasty & mellow!
What reminded me of this was a reference to Lord #TrumpVirus the StableGenius, along with his legal loonies, all seemingly digging the hole deeper & deeper with each new lie, stall, distraction & evasion. #Justice coming soon! #Truth & #Accountability !

Joe Walsh - Life Of #Illusion -
It's hard to know what he really meant when he wrote Life of Illusion. I think that many of us, at times, have
And...
Joe Walsh, Pt. 3/3
This track/album was not obtainable for a while, as Ravel's ghost objected (copyright issues).
But I have long loved this song medley - especially how he launches into Bolero. 🎸 🎧
Listen loud w/ big speakers or headphones to fully appreciate. Almost like how it sounded live. (Lots of echo, delay, on solos)
No, it's not another "Funk" at the beginning.... just similar, his style (like Fogerty of CCR, with his driving chugga chugga chugga)

Joe Walsh, Pt. 2/3
Saw/re-posted "Funk #49" the other day, performed with Ringo at his 80th Birthday (tnx Netwitch). I was looking for another "ear worm" favorite from James Gang, and came across this, an excellent "three'fer". (triple song fer the price of one). The first funk too!
( #48 )
So here's a triad of Joe Walsh tracks:
🎶 🎸 🎧
For those not familiar with this ancient music history, Joe Walsh - he became the guitar guy with the Eagles (like Paul McCartney's old band was Beatles)... The other song I was looking for was one I saw live, with lots of echo/delay (as he played along with himself, live), and it went into a very memorable version of Bolero, which got the album pulled back from distribution and pulled off radio (copyright issues!).
Stay tuned for part 3 - will post separate so player will display.

With thanks again to the Netwitch... Somehow I missed this. I was paying homage to Joe Walsh, and this song, when...
Look! Ringo likes this song too! 🎸 🥁

A lunchtime diversion - late 60's/early 70's - FM Radio transitions and segues - A baker's 1/2 Dozen Faves 🎶
It began with the posting of a Fat Mattress (1969) song, which rang a bell. Fat Mattress has a tiny niche-of-honor in my memories and in music history. To me it was sort of a cross between early Jethro Tull (This Was) and Traffic, with the backbone of Noel Redding here.
The band - not coincidentally?! - also featured Chris Wood (Traffic) on the track "All Night Drinker", which makes perfect sense as another foggy memory is seeing Chris Wood fall off the stage, drunken... Oh, and Martin Barre (Tull) was in the band briefly, too.
This said, seeing the image of the album (which I have on vinyl, without the song which was posted - UK version) - set off many associations to the album and its context (1969).
And that brings me to an immediate short-list of tracks comprising 1/2 dozen of my most beloved songs for radio segues between or into/out of sets.
From the 1969 Fat Mattress album (in my 3rd hand as I type)...
"I saw a bird, flying in the sky... He looked at me, I wonder why..."
Pretty depressing actually, maybe reflecting Neil Redding's situation at the time, booted from Hendrix.
He doesn't even play the bass on this track (plays guitar).
"Context and Perspective!"
But before I forget, one more to add to this 'baker's 1/2 dozen' of 'easy listening' FM/LP fare, and favorite segues:

So speaking of....
I've just been listening to this for the first time (here & now) ... takes me back.
This is the song Joe Walsh was strumming along with the band last night in the Ed Sullivan Theater (where the Beatles played)

And lastly... 🎶
a) It's Friday. Enjoy!
b) I had an ear-worm from the past come back recently (Easy Evil) and now into my other ear popped out for my other ear, circa 1974.
Talking about talking story (Hawi'ian term - and universal story tellers. Another artist and album ("Souvenirs") I really liked in the 80's, and listened to many times on reel-to-reel tape. That's what I 'hear' now, and (again) I'm thinking, 'that's like Joe Walsh!' Or maybe it is! A lot, on this track on this album he produced. Anyway, this was 1974, lots going on musically, and in peoples lives. #souvenirs

Time for a change of cars, horse, driver, tempo, something....

One more (for the road / cup of coffee / tribute to Joe Walsh).... to wrap up some holiday blues & technical/funky guitar talk...
I'd caught a James Gang ear-worm, a echoed razor-sharp solo, but looking for it, I found this cure. Have a good last week of 2021. #StaySafe
