An All-Time Great!
As per almost all the other reviews here, I too, never found a bad track or one I didn't find myself becoming lost in, at one time or another over the years. This 2008 edition has a totally transformed sound quality over the first CD pressing, completely on par with the LP! - THANK YOU Bill Szymcyk!! This great album breathes with life again. But, even after all this time, my favorite passage is still "Inner Tube/Boat Weirdos". It so successfully conjures up days gone by and solitude spent aimlessly in those well-remembered, summer-time places, idly flinging pebbles into some abandoned quarry, just to watch them fall; blue skies and those white puffy clouds, together with the sound of distant thunder; or lazily drifting down a slow-moving stream in an inner tube, six-pack in tow. There's much more, of course, but this album's a charmer all the way through.

WOW is all I can Say
WOW and let me say that backwards. "But Seriously Folks" CD is awesome. .
WOW. Joe Walsh is "seriously" talented and I loved the music, his
singing, the instrumentals, all of it. I just wish I had bought it sooner!.


A miracle!.....
I can still remember during the summer of '78 when "Life's Been Good. . " was a hit on the airwaves(and I was a young lad of 20)seeing my old man,who was 52 at the time and who had no use for rock music, enjoying this song. He got a big kick out of the lyrics. Me too. I still own this on vinyl(when I've gotten rid of a great deal of my vinyl collection over the years) and every so often ,especially during the summer months, I have to put it on the turntable and kick back. "Second Hand Store" and "Tomorrow" are outstanding tracks on their own and make this album a must have. Classic album--always will be. .


Great CD - Love Joe
I love Joe Walsh's guitar playing and I enjoy listening to the entire first 4 songs straight through uninterrupted. I think this is a great CD. "At the Station" "Indian Summer" and "Second Hand Store" always make me think of summer time when I was a kid and we used to hang out at the fishing hole drinking beer. Of course, this contains the classic "Life's Been Good" and there's also a great catchy tune called "Tomorrow" and a couple of cool intrumental pieces.

I am a huge Joe Walsh fan so I have to say I am probably playing some favoritism but why not - I think the man is underrated as both a guitar player and lyricist. He may not write mind bending philosophical lyrics 24/7 but he sure knows how to construct a good piece of humoring lyrical content and he has the ability to make you forget about your worries and draw you to another place and time. And isn't that what music is supposed to be about sometimes?.
