Opening up our Top 10 James Gang Songs list is the great track “Midnight Man.” The song was released on the final Joe Walsh James Gang album entitled Thirds. The band would release six more albums after Joe Walsh departed ending with their final album in 1976 entitled Jesse Come Home. The James Gang would continue to record albums despite the loss of Joe Walsh. #JAMES GANG JAMES GANG RIDES AGAIN SERIES#Joe Walsh would leave the band after the group’s third album and eventually became a member of The Eagles along with releasing a series of successful solo albums. The album Thirds featured the same three core musicians from the band’s second record. Joe Walsh released one more record with the James Gang in 1971. The album featured Dale Peters replacing Tom Kriss on bass. The band’s follow up album appropriately titled The James Gang Rides Again was issued in 1970. The album featured Joe Walsh on guitar, Tom Kriss on bass and Jim Fox on drums. (The last few years have certainly been good for Joe Walsh fans what with the Audio Fidelity disks of his solo albums and now this MFSL SACD.The James Gang released their first album entitled Yer’ Album in 1969. With that power pop bands' more up front and personal aural assault leaping from my speakers I eased the volume back to my regular audiophile disk level (which is a couple clicks up from the level I use for somewhat compressed non-audiophile/mass produced CDs with a DR rating of around 9 or 10).Īnyway, a big thumbs up on the Rides Again SACD, and (if sales are positive) here's hoping that the folks at MFSL plug ahead and remaster/reissue the other two studio albums. Not because it sounded bad but because production values had changed so much in the time span from 1970 to 1979. What a shock it was when I followed The James Gang SACD with the MFSL The Knack/ Get The Knack SACD. I did back the volume off slightly for the acoustic tracks that pretty much predominate the rest of this album, but that was more for the sake of my hearing. Hmm, that was better, but with The Bomber about to start I figured another nudge could work wonders. But after the first two tracks things just weren't jelling. When I first started playback I had my volume control set to where I usually have it for most of my audiophile disks.

This disk reeks of early seventies monster bass/ballsy guitar/old-analog-gear goodness. Let me state up front that this thing sounds really good loud (about 90 dB peaks). I listened to my copy of Rides Again yesterday. ![]() “So when CDs replaced the albums as a format, there’s nothing that said we couldn’t do that!”įrom James Gang Look Back on 'Rides Again' at 45: Exclusive Interview CDs didn’t exist when they wrote the law,” explains Walsh. It was like 60 years or something and it got to the point where it was 60 years and it kind of became … you know, at the time, this was for albums. The band members were forced to remove the offending portion from the song, but it was eventually restored when The James Gang Rides Again made its way to CD. #JAMES GANG JAMES GANG RIDES AGAIN FULL#And it had to be played by the full orchestra that it was written for. “You could never play little parts of it. The French copyright, Ravel’s heirs and Ravel’s estate stipulated in the French copyright law that the piece had to be played in its entirety, top to bottom,” recalls Walsh. “Ravel was French, and French copyright law and French law in general is insane. In addition to speaker-destroying frequencies, “The Bomber” also included a passage from Ravel’s “Boléro,” which ended up costing the James Gang a fair bit of legal drama. ![]()
