Reservoir Media, Inc., an independent music company, announces global publishing agreement with five-time Grammy Award-winning artist, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, legendary guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Joe Walsh. The deal includes hits from his catalog as a solo artist and as a member of groups such as the Eagles and James Gang, as well as future work.

Originally from Kansas, Walsh rose to fame as the leader and hitmaker of the James Gang, whose first three albums appeared on the Billboard Top 200 in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

These albums included several songs co-written by Walsh, such as the hits “Funk #49” and “Walk Away.” In 1975, he became an international phenomenon as a member of the legendary rock band The Eagles. Walsh redefined the Eagles' musical landscape. The first album to feature Walsh was Hotel California.

Walsh's percussive guitar style introduced an edge to the band's sound, which transformed the Eagles' laid-back country-rock sound into rock anthems such as "Life in The Fastlane" (co-written by Walsh). Hotel California is one of the best-selling albums of all time, having been certified 26 times Platinum and selling more than 32 million records worldwide.

Walsh also co-wrote songs from The Long Run and Long Road Out of Eden by the Eagles, both of which were number one albums and are certified 7x Platinum, with hits like "In The City." In addition to his success with the Eagles, Walsh earned acclaim as a solo artist, releasing 11 albums, including The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get and But Seriously Folks, which feature co-writes by Walsh, including the anthems “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Life's Been Good,” and “A Life of Illusion.”

Walsh's unique and definable style of guitar playing also earned him legendary status and international renown: Rolling Stone ranked him 54th on its list of the greatest guitarists of all time and Guitar World ranked his guitar solo at “ Hotel California” at 8 on the list of the best guitar solos of all time .

Walsh was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, along with his Eagles bandmates, and earlier this year was named by President Biden to the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

In addition to his legendary music career, Walsh has been involved with veterans-related causes for years. It is for this reason that Walsh, along with his wife, founded VetsAid in 2017, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose charter is to support veterans groups across the country that address the needs of the returning soldiers.In addition to his legendary music career, Walsh has been involved with veterans-related causes for years.
