Notes

Joe Walsh just hasn't been able to produce a complete album of great material, and The Confessor is no exception. Side one is drek, with such titles as "I Broke My Leg" and "Bubbles." Turn the record over, and we find one of Walsh's masterpieces. The title tune is great! Over seven minutes of pure Joe Walsh rock with cryptic lyrics and a socko arrangement. Side two also includes a cover of Michael Stanley's "Rosewood Bitters" which Walsh played on long ago. Worthwhile for the title track alone.
