Thanks for posting these songs by the mad man Joe Walsh. A friend of mine was stationed in Germany in the early 80's and had a bunch of reel to reel tapes with the group names on the tapes so trying to find the songs I liked was tough. I could only go by the lyrics and enter them in Google and find the tunes that way. You've made it a lot easier. I've learned quite a bit reading the comments. I have some knowledge of Joe and the James Gang and always wondered how he joined the Eagles. :)

joe is such a down to earth guy/ his music likewise; down to earth and heartfelt. and joe's got the greatest sense of humor-

Joe Vitale, drummer on numerous efforts with Joe Walsh, also did a tune called "Theme from Cabin Weirdos" on his "Plantation Harbor" album. Very good album but virtually unknown.

Much overlooked and underrated songs from this classic album.

Joe Vitale was such an underrated drummer. HIS BEST WORK, in my opinion!

It's proper music when it doesn't NEED lyrics to give it a story, meaning or emotion.

Check out my video response to this... in 1984 Stevie Nicks wrote lyrics for this song and sang them... Joe has worked with Stevie a lot of her career and I believe that if this song would have been released with her vocals/lyrics... it would have been wonderful!

Joe's eclecticism is what's made him truly great as an artist. As a kid I'd buy every solo album as soon as it hit the music stores. The first time I heard this it just blew me away how completely different it is from everything else he's done. A truly beautiful, dreamy piece. One of those songs I where I pop the CD in, hit "repeat" & let it play & play while my my mind drifts on & I decompress from life. Thanks for sharing Brother, hopefully it's turning a new generation on to his genius.
I think Joe did a companion piece called "Theme From Island Weirdos"...

Wow! I didn't think I would ever hear this song again. It has rung in my head since the summer of 1980 when last I heard it. Such great memories with this one. Thank you so much for putting this one out here for us.

Comments and stories like yours are exactly why i decided to put up this (and hopefully more) less widely appreciated album. i may be young, but i know the memories and feelings and old song can bring back when you hear it again...cant imagine the feeling multiplied by not having heard something for about ten years longer than ive even been alive haha. it was my pleasure
