THE JAMES GANG

Yer Blues

USA - BLUESWAY RECORDS- BLS 6034

RARE 1968 first printing....limited edition:

On the very first BLUESWAY label, the album was quckly switched to the parent ABC label when the band suddenly took off...finding clean Bluesway pressings are harder to find than you might think!

With thick gatefold cover ~~ here's the very first JAMES GANG album from 1968, the powerhouse guitar trio featuring a young Joe Walsh on guitar...

American power trio from the early 1970s, the Ohio-bred James Gang, despite never reaching the same heights of stardom as their contemporaries, boasted some seriously killer jams that have remarkably stood the test of time--"Funk #49," 'Walk Away," and "The Bomber" chief among them.

Perhaps the most significant thing about the James Gang, however, was the brief presence of guitarist Joe Walsh. In addition to providing the band with its distinctive acid-tinged power-blues sound, Walsh would go on to join the Eagles as well as carving out a successful solo career. The band soldiered on after the soon-to-be superstar's 1971 departure, but never regained the power they had with Walsh at the helm.

Here then, arguably their best album, the very first 1968 "Yer Album" ...before they were 'discovered'.
