[Review] Joe Walsh: Barnstorm (1972)

Walsh’s first solo album picks up where the more thoughtful and ambitious songs of James Gang left off.

Half the size of the first album, and not half bad, but this was the end of the road for Manassas.

The second Barnstorm album is a minor classic and featured the hit, “Rocky Mountain Way.”

The single from Walsh’s second album showed he didn’t need the James Gang to be a bankable star.

This is Joe’s tightest studio album to date, though one tinged with sadness in the wake of his daughter’s death.

It’s been called one of the worst rock albums of all time. It’s not that bad.

Souther may have feathered his nest with the song royalties from Eagles, but his second solo flight stands on its own.

Graham’s first solo album of the 80s sounds like the better halves of the last two C&N albums fused together.

Life’s been good. Now that would have been a great vehicle for Ringo. In my car? Meh.

Steve Winwood’s best solo album, it dominated the airwaves alongside Peter Gabriel’s So and Paul Simon’s Graceland.
