I remember this song and again it got little or no airplay in upstate N.Y. What' s wrong with the radio today? ;( The syndication sucks. Every city has the same music for the most part. Nashville radio is terrible. The sort of good station says they're playing new music, it's 10 years old. Go figure???!!!
it sounds like Niel so much cause it's the same melody in the chorus as Cinnamon girl...just sing those lyrics with this chorus and bam, there ya' go.
@leonakita I saw Neil Young at Blossom Music Center in NE Ohio and Joe Walsh came out for the encore Tonights the Night and they rocked the house! Must have been around 1985 or so.
It's weird...all these pictures of Walsh and it's Don Felder's song and almost all of his guitar tracks. It was Joe Walsh's album but that's not why I bought it. Felder completely arranged this song and wrote the lyrics too.
This is the last song on the album, if I recall. I didn't know Don Felder wrote it. You can tell they were writing it for the Eagles to do. Shame they didn't. The groove really kicks in the last half.
Joe Walsh and Felder wrote this for the Long Run. Felder is on this track playing the talk box guitar. Bobby Mayo from Peter Frampton's band is playing the 12 string on it too...
Don Felder also played on "You Never Know" playing dual lead guitars on that track. This song and "Told You So" on Walsh's You Bought It You Name It in 1983 were intended for The Long Run but Henley and Frey rejected those two. If you hear The Long Run Leftovers on the Selected Works box set of The Eagles you can hear embryonic versions of these two kick ass rockers. Also this song was the last song on Side 1 (You Never Know (which Felder also appears) closed the album).
This is a Don Felder song for the Long Run--that Azoff was able to get for Joe Walsh's album. This is a really cool song- its too bad it did not make the Eagle's record it would have sounded great with their harmonies.
I could see why Felder was pissed off at Frey for not including more of his songs on the album, this one certainly beats Teenage Jail and The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.
This song always struck me as such a clever ending - Walsh and Felder start to solo against each other, while they are fading out..leaving the feeling that a private conversation is taking place, I'd love to see this live with Felder there!
]***Joe Walsh is great. I've become a Joe-a-holic. A Joe Junkie. Why is Joe so great...because Joe Walsh is Great. Period. I don't even know how I got this way. But there it is. What Do I Know Anyway...Oh, yea, Ah...Joe Walsh is great.
Ah....this brings back some "mammaries"! Joe is so Bahad AhhhSSS! There are some real gems on There Goes the Nbhood and But Seriously Folks. And diss iz one of dem!
"My name is Joe....but my friends call me Collect"
It was written for the album but left off after The Eagles scrapped plans to do a double album with The Long Run (mainly due to the recession the US was in back in 1979 but no one told either Fleetwood Mac or Pink Floyd not to release double albums then). You hear an embryonic snippet as part of "Long Run Leftovers" on the 2000 Selected Works Box Set. Don Felder plays guitar on this track and the album closer "You Never Know" which sees some superb guitar duel work from Felder and Joe Walsh.
Great song. I have been looking to see if anyone would post it. Slightly obscure, it never reached the fame that I thought it should have. Thanks for posting!
Confessor hit home... not many songs have that effect...(speaking 4 myself) that is special...don h. dose a good job also. r waters sent the hairs too.

It was huge in Milw. in '81-'82, never to be heard again. Too bad...

I dunno if it is "Cinnamon Girl" -the tempo is a bit slower in the intro, but the progressions are very similar.
"My Sweet Lord" vs. "He's so Fine" yeah?

This song sounds so much like Neil Young. I can't beleve he didnt write it. The reprise particularly reeks of Neil.

Don Felder wrote this song. That's why I bought the record. It's a gamblers tale of Las Vegas and ruthlessness.

No Joe wrote it, it was for the Eagles The Long Run, but left off. Don did the voice box guitar.
