Once one of the most under-rated rock guitarists of all-time, Eagles crazy man Joe Walsh is reportedly reforming the group he started out his career with, the James Gang, for a big new U.S. tour.
The rocker is apparently re-teaming with fellow founders Jim Fox and Dale Peters for the trio's first national tour since early 1970.
In 1972,
Walsh had quit the hitmakers to try a solo career. Then in 1976, he ended up joining The Eagles. And the rest is history. Walsh's raw guitar chops and trademark shotgun riffs helped push the Eagles from marginal to super group.
However, the James Gang had since reunited for hometown concerts in Cleveland, Ohio, and for a performance on The Drew Carey Show. Walsh ended up becoming a regular part of the show after a great viewer response.
