专辑介绍:
Joe Walsh（吉他、合成乐器） 1947年11月20日出生于肯萨斯州。1969年加入摇滚团James Gang，1975年12月加入老鹰合唱团，是最先发行个人专辑与拥有畅销单曲的团员。1973年Bill Szymczyk就是靠Walsh的推荐才接替原制作人Glyn Johns。Walsh刚加入时，Szymczyk还曾替他担心会影响个人演唱生涯，结果证明Walsh不仅为乐团注入了摇滚的新生命，同时Walsh个人发展亦相得益彰。1978年的专辑《But Seriously, Folks…》、单曲"Life's Been Good"电影《都市牛郎》插曲"All Night Long"都是个人代表作，老鹰合唱团解散期间Walsh仍然有新作陆续推出。
This album was slaughtered by critics upon its release, and has been categorized as ordinary and typical 70's rock, but of course, these people are totally wrong. The Confessor finds Walsh in the middle of the eighties still rockin' like it was the 70's. And really, what's wrong with this? His sound is updated slightly with more polished production, a bit more synth and keys, but at its core it's still Walsh, tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at stuff while laying down bloozy riffs and funky beats, which all your naysayers should know, that stuff NEVER goes out of style. The production on the title track really shines with every string rattle in Walsh's 12-string jumping out in the track giving a loose, slippery feel to the song before the knockout blow of crunching guitars and screaming vocals. Not really a signature style for Walsh, but effective nonetheless. The rest of the album walks a tightrope of hangdog, laid back Walsh rockers, and pure pop structured songs, all delivered with a wink and a punch. The Confessor couldn't get any respect from the world when it was released at a time when funny looking Englishmen with bad haircuts and keyboards ruled the airwaves, nor does it get any respect today when focus-group picked talentless made-for-television bands are the flavor of the month. But for the aficionado of rock and roll listener it's a worthy pickup if you haven't heard it.
