A native of Wichita, Kansas, Walsh moved to Montclair, New Jersey and attended Montclair High School. He spent time in various bands playing around the Cleveland area while attending Kent State University, but came to widespread attention in 1969 after replacing Glen Schwartz as lead guitarist for The James Gang, an American power trio. Walsh was the standout of the band, noted for his innovative rhythm playing and creative guitar riffs. The James Gang had several minor hits and became an early AOR staple before Walsh left the group in 1971 for a career as a solo artist. Walsh's solo debut was Barnstorm (1972).

Help Me Through The Night Lyrics
Joe Walsh
1) Somewhere along the way, I found a meaning
I woke up dreaming - along the way
It never quite seems the same when you awaken
And making up for the time is such a price to pay
And it just ain't fair
REFRAIN) So, help me through, mama
Help me to ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night, once again
#2) That's the danger in pretending
Trying to defend yourself from someone else's war
I don't know what they're fighting for
And I just don't care
Released: 1974 - ABC Records
