    The absolute apex of Rock-n-Roll decadence. Kickin' up some dust... Thank you B. & R.

This is one of those songs that you remember from your teen years and now play it for your kids ....trying to make mine learn those great JW riffs.

So true coloradojohn. Never too much JW. Somehow i grew up not hearing James Gang's Walk Away till RP spun it one day. Thanks Bill! DB in CB, Nova Scotia.

THIS pretty much changed the world for a while...and showed us all THE WAY...
and sometimes it is so incredibly good to crank this bad boy all the way UP, too!

worries me when RP plays Joe Walsh within 7 songs of The Eagles... did someone die? or was RP purchased by ClearChannnel?

Agree 100%.  My ONLY music fix is RP and I too love me some Joe.  James Gang anyone?

Ummmm.  No.  Heard it eleventy billion times already, 42 thousand last week alone.

I'm thinking the playlist could use the slot for something worthier.

We have a local band (Dirty City) in Annapolis, MD that plays this and other Joe Walsh songs.  It is a dad on guitar and his son on drums.  His sons friends fill out the rest of the band.  Did is in, I would say, his mid to late 50s...and he is bad ass.  He kills this song.  Gives me a new appreciation for it.

Rated it an "8", but have really heard this song waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times.  But it's a rock classic.  I'm conflicted.  Strange.

Diversity in music that includes Joe Walsh - good . . . playing more Radiohead, TMBG and Fleet Foxes - better . . . playing Randy Newman, esp. from "Good Old Boys" days . . . priceless!

I've been fortunate to have appreciated Joe's talents for a long time.  First concert,  circa 1970, the James Gang.  Was a fan before, been a big fan ever since.

Yup. I had the wax cylinder copy of this album. Thomas Edison was the recording engineer.

Yup, Joe went out West from Wichita, and found his Way, hard as it was, even had to live in Dan Fogelberg's car for awhile, as I heard him tell it once, and God bless him for sharing his zany, amazing talent!  Everything he played sounded GREAT!

Sadly, I never appreciated the brilliance of Joe Walsh until much later in life. What an artist.

I was 16 and the same applied. Had it on 8-track.  I do have one vivid memory of lying in a beanbag chair at a friends listening to this on high volumn.  At least I think it's a memory.

Surprising to hear this here, not complaining but you should instead play some of his "deeper cuts" like Meadows, Welcome to the Club or Mother Says.  Thanks to Clear Channel, RMW is forever burnt-out.
 
Well, I love Rocky Mountain Way (for reasons listed in another post), but yeah, your choices would be totally wonderful. If I had them in a downloadable format, I'd submit them to RP. If you have them, submit them, okay? I'd LOVE to hear "Meadows," "Time Out," "Turn to Stone,"All Night Laundromat Blues,"... I went back through his stuff, and his earlier work is amazing. Once he found Jesus and tossed the bottle, I feel like his music took a back seat to something I don't understand.

I cling to the past, because the present isn't so fun and the future isn't looking too promising, either.

Oh. My. Gawd. This was the first thing I ever heard from Joe Walsh, and at the time, I hated it. (I was young and stupid.) Now, I just crank it up and dance (hey, romeotuma - bet you're dancing, too!)  I love it in the middle when he's doing that voice/guitar thing, and then it just vaults into total rockdom.  Joe Walsh is an understated guitar genius. He's got a bunch of notches on his gunbelt, but this song, to me, is his biggest notch.{#Dancingbanana_2}

Went to an Eagles concert once and a Joe Walsh show broke out. He did a bunch of his solo stuff and a few of rhe James Gang tunes. That made the show!

Stevie Nicks says Joe is the love of her life.
Hey, Stevie, move over: I love Joe too!

I have a huge soft spot for hugely talented singer-songwriters who are funny, sardonic, and dark—with a delicious sense of the absurd.
To wit: Joe + Warren Zevon + the Bob, etc.

Life's been good with them around.
