The James Gang

The James Gang


De início, a biografia da banda, extraída do catálogo “Rock em CD - O guia definitivo”, ed. 92/93, publicado pela Editora Azul em novembro de 1992.
“Fundada em 67 por Jim Fox (bateria), Tom Kriss (baixo) e Glen Schwartz (guitarra), a James Gang só veio a ganhar notoriedade após a substituição de Schwartz pelo novato Joe Walsh. Essa formação registrou o álbum Yer Album, em que o material composto por Walsh alternava-se a covers dos Yardbirds (‘Lost Woman’) e Buffalo Springfield (‘Bluebird’).
“No período 60-71, o grupo consolidou-se como o autêntico power-trio que era, com Walsh sendo saudado como um dos melhores guitarristas da época – o próprio Pete Townshend chegou a declarar que jamais havia visto alguém tocar como ele. O pique da carreira do James Gang veio com Live At Carnegie Hall. Logo após sua conclusão, Jose Walsh decidiu sair e atuar como artista solo.
Os remanescentes do James Gang insistiram com novos guitarristas (Domenic Troiano e Tommy Bolin), mas jamais se aproximaram da energia dos primeiros tempos. Por seu turno, Walsh estabeleceu uma produção constante, mantendo-se na ativa até hoje.”
