I might have to pick up those albums and give them a listen, because I’ve heard Mr. Tommy Bolin, who played guitar for 1 Deep Purple album and tour, was in this band for a while. Is it called vibrato when you sing like that? I think you know what I’m talking about.Ī fine, fine song it is, and listening to it makes me realize that I need to get all of this band’s early stuff with Joe. I found it easy to sing loud and clear to this one, and to put that swaggering vibrato into my voice. It’s also the first song I sang along to that made me realize I can actually sing. It was one of the songs that – when I had just started to listen to “classic rock radio” – made me say “Damn! There’s some fine shit dun been recorded before I was born!” This song is one of my faves of all time. They write him letters, tell him he’s great. He writes hit records, his fans, they can’t wait.

Actually, he can afford to have me beaten professionally. He’s old now, but he’d beat me pretty solidly I imagine. A very, very ugly girl, but a girl nonetheless. Please don’t tell Joe Walsh that I insinuated that he looks like a girl in that second video. Easy for me to say, but back then it looked just fine and dandy to gallivant about the town looking like you were related to bigfoot. These lads needed to acquaint themselves with a hair clipper. A live (TV studio, looks like) performance with some of the parts done a bit differently.The version that was on the album “Thirds” from 1971.I’ll go one better, and provide two links to this song: So do I! What a coincidence that two men here on earth would appreciate feminine mammary glands of large proportion! Except I never wrote a song called “I Like Big Tits”.īefore I go off in some tangent about other large parts of the female anatomy, I better provide a link to the song. And he was apparently a bit crazy with the partying and the substance abuse and whatnot. He’s also got a “unique look” shall we say. Joe’s got one of those voices that’s instantly recognizable. Those clothes don’t look too easy to launder, and I bet they’ve been wearing them for a while… you know… thinking they look all cool in them and shit. This wasn’t long after that whole unwashed “hippie” thing, ya know. He played a fine guitar and only got nudged into singing too when the band couldn’t find a good regular singer. If I remember my rawk history, Joe Walsh joined The James Gang when he was in college. I know that a lot of people have heard of The James Gang, but these three numbers diminish next to each other. I know a lot of people have heard of Joe Walsh. I know a lot of people have heard of The Eagles.
