Product Description

From Amazon.com

Rock's original slacker compiles and annotates a career-spanning 33 tracks dating back to his 1968 debut with The James Gang. Overcoming an early fixation with The Who (good buddy Pete Townshend contributes liner notes here), Walsh developed into a rock fixture with Barnstorm, then turned out deceptively lazy gems like "County Fair," "Life's Been Good," and "Decades" as a solo star. The surprise here is that this is one guitar hero whose songwriting was far superior to his instrumental work. --Jeff Bateman

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Compilation, Sep 14 2003

This review is from: Look What I Did!: The Joe Walsh Anthology (2CD) (Audio CD)

Although the Eagles had disbanded, many of its members went on to solo careers. A popular member of the band to go on to a solo career was Joe Walsh. Both before and after the Eagles, he shelled out a number of pop-rock masterpieces - now available in a single collection. Read on for my review of Joe Walsh's Anthology.

PROS:
-This is exactly what the casual fan will want. Walsh's biggest solo hits were Life's Been Good and Rocky Mountain Way, and they're both here.
-This compilation covers James Gang material (the band he was in BEFORE the Eagles), so you get Funk Number Forty-Nine and Walk Away.
-The compilation doesn't just rely on the hits, there are a number of underrated masterpieces here as well.
-It's good to finally have all of these tracks in one place.
-Needless to say, it covers more material than the single-disc Greatest Hits.

CONS:
-This is a JAMES GANG AND SOLO COLLECTION and nothing more, so don't buy this expecting to find any Eagles tracks.

OVERALL:
Despite a few complaints, this is an excellent hits package. Any fans of Joe's would be doing themselves a huge favor by picking up this compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joe Walsh at his best!, Jan 6 2004

By

This review is from: Look What I Did!: The Joe Walsh Anthology (2CD) (Audio CD)

As with most anthology's, there's bound to be a few tracks missing. We all have our favorites, which sometimes miss the cut. "Confessor" is inexplicably absent, and there's no "Eagles" stuff here. All of that would require a third CD. No, J.W. is the number one attraction in all of these songs, as the collection highlights Walsh's tremendous, unmistakable guitar work, and lyrical creativity. One of the bright spots includes a full length version of "The Bomber". This 2 CD collection also includes a simple song - by - song review, in booklet form, by Joe himself, that is quite interesting, and adds a bit of explanation to many of the tunes.
If you're a new Joe Walsh fan, this collection is a perfect place to start, and if you're an aging boomer (like myself), these tunes will bring back memories, and possibly introduce you to a few worthwhile bits you overlooked. I'm a tough grader, and this is a "5".

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW is this great!, Jun 24 2003

By

guitargirl (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Look What I Did!: The Joe Walsh Anthology (2CD) (Audio CD)

It doesn't get much better than this-almost all of Joe Walsh's hits are here, and so are a few hidden gems from his many great albums. "Look What I Did!" is a true journey, as seen through Walsh's music...beginning from his days with The James Gang and Barnstorm, through his successful solo career. The selections run the gamut from the incredible guitar work of "Funk 49" and the classic "Rocky Mountain Way," to the hilarious top 10 hit "Life's Been Good." There are many more great tracks as well, such as the reflective "County Fair," "The Bomber" (including the long-lost "Bolero" portion), and one of the jewels of Walsh's catalogue, "Decades." This collection also includes notes from Walsh himself about the tracks, and loads of great photos. Joe Walsh is often referred to as "The Clown Prince Of Rock And Roll," and his sense of humor is very present in this collection, but so is his brilliance and God-given musical talent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but one glaring mistake!
Where is "The Confessor"? Otherwise, this is a really good set. As for the previous reviewer who wanted Eagles stuff, there are plenty of Eagles greatest hits CD's out... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Joe Walsh's Greatest Compilations
I consider this CD to one of Joe Walsh's greatest compilations of his songs, and it is worth buying.
