Joe Walsh

If the wait for Joe Walsh‘s ‘Analog Man’ seems long, that’s because a couple of years after he released ‘Songs For A Dying Planet’ in 1992, the unthinkable happened.

June 5 will see the release of ‘Analog Man,’ Joe Walsh‘s first album since 1992′s ‘Songs for a Dying Planet.’ In a new interview, Walsh said that while touring with the Eagles has taken up a lot of his time, another reason for the delay is the result of quitting drinking in 1994.

Now that Joe Walsh has officially wrapped up ‘Analog Man,’ his first album of new solo material in 20 years, he’s planning to release it in May or June.

Joe Walsh has a history of coming up with tongue-in-cheek titles for his solo albums. Some of those albums include ‘You Can’t Argue with a Sick Mind,’ ‘Got Any Gum?,’ and, of course, ‘You Bought It — You Name It.’ But for his upcoming release, which should release in the winter of 2012, Walsh decided on a more reflective name: ‘Analog Man.’
