The song
Walk Away comes from James Gang’s third studio album “Thirds” (1971). It was the last studio to feature Joe Walsh before he went to a successful solo career and with The Eagles. The track was released as a single and went to the Top 40 on at least one national chart, reaching #51 on the Billboard Hot 100, the best placement of a James Gang single.
The guitarist is credited with “guitar, vocals and train wreck” on the song.
