You won't find many songs of the 80's that deserve a place in rock history with digital percussions. Joe Walsh however derserves a place having scored two places with both The Confessor and Rosewood Bitters. Truly a guitar legend and visionary.

Great story. I remember buying The Confessor on CD. A great title song (and kind of scary). My favorite guitar solo from the album has to be on Slow Dancing; he just rips into it with so much emotion, it sounds like the guitar is crying...

Very touching story. I couldn't help but flashback to the time my family and I took the roadtrip from hell, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado then back down through Oklahoma and back into Texas. I was around thirteen with my younger sister, mother and father at the wheel. It is so true how in the present day, it seems that we as a society can't afford to take the time off of work to do things like this with our families, and it is ashame. You do learn alot about your family, and later in life, you look back and laugh. Joe Walsh's version of Rosewood Bitters is one of the greats in my collection. It is very real and yes, you can hear his pain. Joe Walsh has always been, in my opinion, a class act.

nice story, i still think the confessor is joe's best overall album. the song i remember the most from a family trip would be hank williams jr. family tradition.

I'd all but forgotten about Walsh's version of that song. Nice hearing it again!

I find myself getting very sentimental over the car trips my family took. Although I didn't really appreciate them as much as a kid, I am now grateful that my parents showed us a great deal of the country by car. My wife and I have really only done one extended car trip with our girls (Detroit to Mount Rushmore and back). It did bring back many of my childhood memories.

My children aren't deprived; they've flown numerous times and even been on a cruise. Sadly, the biggest constraint we face is time. It's become increasingly harder to get two weeks off work. Back in the day, two week vacations seemed the norm. Now, everyone is so tied to work and scared to be away from the office for that period of time. Spending that much time with your family in close quarters, you get to know them in a different way (for better or worse). That seems to be something we are losing in the name of progress.
