A lot of people figure Joe Walsh would tire of being a member of the Eagles - or that the others would oust him - within months of the announcement he had replaced Bernie Leadon at the end of 1975. The fact neither happened might have something to do with the 13 year hiatus the group took during the 80's that ended with the Hell Freezes Over Tour in the Spring of 1994. With the exception of a brief James Gang reunion and some touring with the Ringo Starr All-Starr Band, the resumption of a semi-regular gig with the Eagles left Walsh with too little time, energy or ambition to do much else musically. That recently changed. in addition to mounting his own solo tour, Walsh is putting in studio time finishing up a new solo album. The release he has dubbed Analog Man should be out in February. ELO and Traveling Wilburys veteran Jeff Lynne handled production of the new disc.
