- Nov 27, 2022
Beeindruckender Gitarrist, talentierter Songschreiber, eigenwilliger Sänger - Eagles-Langzeitmitglied (1975-1980 und seit 1994) Joe Walsh wird 75. Er startete seine Karriere bei The Measles, wurde 1968 Frontmann der James Gang, verließ die Gruppe 1971, gründete Barnstorm (zwei Alben, die allerdings unter Joe Walsh erschienen) und schloss sich 1975 schließlich den Eagles an. Bereits 1973 hatte Walsh parallel zu den Band-Aktivitäten seine Solo-Karriere gestartet, die er mit zum Teil großen Abständen bis 2012 pflegte. Walsh spielte bei den australischen Party Boys, Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band, bei Herbs, gehörte zu der kurzlebigen Soupergroup The Best und war Gastmusiker auf unzähligen Alben von Musikerkollegen.
