New Joe Walsh album

LIFE’S BEEN GOOD, THE SEQUEL: Joe Walsh returns with Analog Man, his first solo album in two decades, hitting June 5 on Fantasy/Concord. “It’s been 20 years, and I have a lot to say,” sez Joe. “These songs come from the heart. I just really feel like it’s all come together and finally I feel like a complete person and a complete musician. I think there is some confidence in there that I never had. That’s what I was hiding.” The 10-track LP was produced by Jeff Lynne and Walsh, with Tommy Lee James co-writing some of the tracks. “Lucky That Way,” one of Walsh’s favorites off the album, features Ringo Starr, his brother-in-law, on drums.
