On this day May 21, 1985, Joe Walsh released his seventh solo album The Confessor. Known for his gritty vocals and legendary guitar work, Walsh delivered a mix of introspective tracks and hard rock anthems that showcased his distinctive style. The album reached number 65 on the US Billboard charts and featured contributions from members of the Eagles and Toto.
The title track The Confessor became a favorite on rock radio and is noted for its extended guitar intro and powerful lyrical delivery. Though not as commercially successful as some of Walsh’s earlier solo efforts, the album retained a loyal fan base and remains a highlight in his 80s discography.
Fun fact: The album was produced by Keith Olsen, who also worked with Fleetwood Mac, Whitesnake and Heart during the same decade.
