This is a very well done single CD of Joe Walsh's work with The James Gang and his solo hits. Being only 15 songs long it is a tight concise set of his best work. Thankfully they did NOT include any of his work with the Eagles as they (properly) assumed that anyone looking at a Joe Walsh hits CD probably already has a decent Eagles collection. This CD really shows just how good The James Gang was, how terrific Joe is as a musician, and just how much fun you can have with Rock N Roll. This is a very satisfying collection.
A great showcase CD from one of The Eagles.by Anonymous

This Greatest Hits album showcases Joe Walsh's entire solo career, and previous bands before becoming a member of The Eagles, which in fact, the song " Help Me Thru The Night" features his Eagle band mates, Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Don Felder, and then after that song was completed, he joins the band with his debut as an Eagle with Hotel California, and whenever The Eagles perform live, when Joe Walsh takes his turn at singing his solo stuff, he would frequently would sing " Life's Been Good" and " Rocky Mountain Way" . In some of The Eagles' other live performances he would perform " All Night Long" , and " Ordinary Average Guy" , which all of those songs appear on this album as studio recordings with Joe Walsh by himself, and a back up band. Fans of The Eagles and Joe Walsh would certainly love this album from start to finish, because Joe Walsh is my favorite Eagle.
