Joe Walsh is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for his work as a member of the rock bands James Gang and the Eagles. He was born on November 20, 1947, in Wichita, Kansas, and started playing guitar at an early age.

In the late 1960s, Walsh formed the James Gang, a power trio that blended hard rock with blues and funk influences. The band achieved moderate success with hits like "Funk #49" and "Walk Away."

In the mid-1970s, Walsh joined the Eagles, replacing founding member Bernie Leadon. Walsh's guitar playing and songwriting helped take the band's sound in a more rock-oriented direction, and he contributed to some of their most iconic hits, including "Life in the Fast Lane," "Hotel California," and "The Long Run."

Walsh has also had a successful solo career, releasing several albums and singles throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. He is known for his catchy hooks, wry lyrics, and virtuosic guitar playing, which blends elements of rock, blues, and country.

In addition to his musical career, Walsh has been involved in several charitable and political causes, including advocating for drug and alcohol addiction recovery programs and supporting veterans' organizations.
