Joe Walsh was born November 20th, 1947, in Wichita, Kansas. Joe first became interested in music at an early age due to the influence of his mother's playing of classical piano. His first instruments were the oboe and the clarinet. The first stringed instrument that Joe picked up was not the guitar as some might assume, but the bass. As a teenager, Joe played in the local New Jersey bands, the G-Clefs and the Nomads. In 1965 Joe enrolled at Kent State University in Cleveland Ohio, where he became known as the "phantom of Kent State" due to his propensity for playing guitar in the stairwells during class. This is where he picked up the electric guitar.

While attending Kent State, Joe took courses like welding, electronics, and music theory. Shortly after enrolling at Kent, Joe joined up with the band, the Measles. Joe remained a member of the Measles until 1969, when he was asked to join the Cleveland based power trio the James Gang. In October of 1969, the James Gang released their debut album, Yer Album, which eventually rose to #83 on the Billboard charts. In July of 1970, Rides Again was released which reached #20 on the charts and subsequently went gold. Thirds was released in the fall of the same year and gave the James Gang their second gold album.
In 1971, Live in Concert was released again breaking the top 30 on the charts. Joe left the James Gang in November that same year and moved to Colorado. Once in Colorado Joe formed a new trio, Barnstorm which released their self titled album in 1972. In 1973 Joe's first solo album, The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get, was released and climbed to #6 on the charts, turning Joe into a "legitimate" solo act. Joe's follow-up album, So What, was released in 1974 and reached # 11. In 1976, Joe joined the California based band The Eagles as a replacement for guitarist Bernie Leadon.

The first album released by the new incarnation of the band was Hotel California, which reached #1 on the Billboard charts, and went gold. The Eagles, with Joe on guitar, also released The Long Run, as well as Eagles Live, which reached #1 and #6 on the charts respectively. While a member of the Eagles, Joe released two solo albums, You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind, a live album, as well as But Seriously Folks, which contained the hit single Life's Been Good. After the break up of The Eagles in 1980, Joe was once again a solo artist. Joe continued to release solo albums, starting in 1981 with There Goes the Neighborhood, followed by You Bought it You Name It, The Confessor, Got Any Gum?, Ordinary Average Guy, and his most recent studio album, Songs For A Dying Planet which was released in 1992.

In 1995 the Eagles, with Walsh, reformed for the release of a new album as well as one of the most successful tours in music history, the Hell Freezes Over Tour, which lasted until 1996. In addition to his work as a musician, Joe ran for President of the United States in 1980, as well as for Vice President in 1992. This is where Joe Walsh has been. Now the real fun begins as we see where he's going.
