Einige ELO-Seiten haben es bereits bemerkt, also hier, ganz im Sinne der Salamitaktik, wieder ein wenig mehr Einblick in das Walsh-Lynne-Album.
I just spoke with Joe Walsh! I asked him about his new solo album coming up, and the specifically about the arrangements…I wanted to hear some songs centered around the acoustic guitar…like Indian Summer, Collage, etc.
He said the album is done and in the can…and the overall process is 4/5ths done. He isn’t sure when it will be out ‚cause he’s an eagle right now. But my impression is that it’s close.
He said working with Jeff Lynne was a total challenge (in a good way). It really forced him to challenge himself….he really likes the results! Said they were two old timers set in their ways, and it took a while to figure out how to work together.
I mentioned that my daughter was mad ‚cause I made her go to school today and miss hearing his call. He told her thanks for being a fan and to „grow up good.“
Joe was very down to earth, and the whole thing was pretty quick. It was, afterall, a business call recorded for the Eagles radio show. Still, it was pretty cool.

Das Album ist weitgehend fertig, aber VÖ-Termin noch nicht ganz klar (obwohl möglicherweise nah), wegen der Eagles-Aktivitäten. Walsh beschreibt die Arbeit mit Jeff Lynne als große Herausforderung, im positiven Sinne, weil es ihn zwang, sich selbst zu pushen. Er mag das Resultat wirklich.
