Bolero

"Bolero" is a beautiful piece of music. Joe Walsh's version on the James Gang "Rides Again" album is absolutely stunning. Sandwiched in the middle of the extended suite "The Bomber," the beautiful melody flows for over 3 minutes with Walsh's breathtaking slide guitar workout.

If you are only familiar with Joe Walsh's singles like "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Life's Been Good," you are missing out on some seriously important Rock music by not exploring his work with The James Gang. "Rides Again" is a mini-masterpiece. It is a versatile album with bright and explosive melodies, tastes of funk, acoustic leanings, some soul and inspired guitar work. If anything, check out "The Bomber" to experience one of Rock's great treasures.
