It pains me to see how underrated Joe Walsh is.Why is this record considered to be inferior other great records of the time by the likes of The Who, Pink Floyd, the Stones....Eagles could only dream of making a record this good
What is a county fair? Like a market place, with ladies selling home cooked blackberry jam and fortune tellers and bearded ladies? That I know of. It's great, went to a lot of those when I was kid. People selling horses and candy floss. Magical
I always paid more attention to the first half of this album neglecting this beautiful gem in the process.Thanks for sparking new-found appreciation for this record and this tune specifically.Still my favourite song of this album might be Song for Emma
The best song on this album!! I noticed that too it's county fair.This song sure does bring back fun times in the summer of 74 free to do what you want and no worries what so ever and yes there was a county fair back then and it was fun and didn't cost you much.You go nowadays and it cost you an arm and a leg.
The name of the song is COUNTY Fair, not Country Fair! Next you gonna tell us it's country music? COUNTY FAIR, COUNTY FAIR, COUNTY FAIR!!!!! How can you say it's your favorite song from "So What" and you don't have the name straight? Somebody call the COUNTY Sheriff!!!!
This is my favorite song from this album back in the day when life was easier and fun.Great partying song when having summer parties,everyone who had parties this was the song on there list and what could be more fun on a summer night with beer women and great music like this County fair.
State Control gonn' to be looking for you, mang. Joe didn't need acid, mang, although not even he seems to recognize the sheer genius this poem is. Nothing else comes close.
Joe is a musican's musician. Time served and a nimble fingered virtuoso. Unlike the talentless wannabe 'sof today's music scene who frequent the crap talent shows like the X factor!!
why does this say "Country Fair" ? ...it's "County Fair", but anyway - I don't give a sh*t it's still great rock n roll! ...just wondered if anyone else noticed that.
@saxfunk Maybe the user is from the south, being from Indiana we also say county fair. I do remember in Alabama I have heard it called country fair. Thats my guess man. Still epic though i mean epic!!!!
Holy shit I forgot what an outrageous album this was. It has Help me thru the night too.
Joe is that shit.

"...it's a county fair picture, part of me's there. Some of the pieces are still at the fair and it may be forever..." classic stoner Walsh.
