Classic 90's Joe Walsh.......2003-04-17

Despite the title of the album, there's not much "tree-hugging" here, just Joe showing off his typical knack for likeable, humorous lyrics and a catchy melody.

Some songs just don't work, such as "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "Coyote Love", and
"The Friend Song", but they are made up for by the winners such as "Vote For Me", "I Know", "Shut Up" and "Certain Situations". "Decades", a 12 minute opus, also works fairly well.

If you are a fan of Joe in his synth-heavy phase, you won't be disapointed.

First half good, second half bad........1999-07-12

The first six songs of this set start out good. They're in the typical Walsh vein-- humorous lyrics, good slide playing-- but the second half, for me, falls apart. Especially the Carol King cover.

Average customer rating:

great effort

No one would ever think..........2001-07-01

...that Joe Walsh, with all his diversity, could come out with an album that has the ability not only to entertain, but to make you think, make you question, make you wonder. He touched on the problems with our society and the health of our planet in Ordinary Average Guy, but in Songs For A Dying Planet he reminds us that, if we're not mindful of the damage we're doing to Earth, that we won't have it to hand down to our children, and to their children after them.

While every song has meaning (aside from his remake of "Will you still love me") one of the last lines in one of the last songs really hits the target dead center:

"We are living on a dying planet, we're killing everything that's alive, and anyone who tries to deny it, wears a tie, and gets paid to lie"

A Stones Tribute?.......2001-02-01

Has everyone missed the fact that this album plays like a Rolling Stones tribute?

Carefully mimicking Richards licks...this is some of the most fun parody I have ever heard.

"Fairbanks" is actually played to the tune "Honky Tonk Woman."

Goofy, fun...and in places quite sincere...Joe Walsh is an overlooked genuis that knows how not to take himself too seriously.

One for the Decades.......2000-07-28

I have been a Joe Walsh fan for over 25 years, but just recently discovered this CD. The cut, "Decades" has to go down as one of his masterpieces. This whole CD is priceless.

Vintage Joe Walsh.......2000-06-29

This is one I've been looking for for a while. I had it when it first came out but then I lost it. I was glad to find it here at such a good price. This CD is a must have for Walsh fans and is a nice intro for those only casually interested. Best cuts are: SHUT UP! and Vote For Me. This is a great buy!
