It's been 20 years since Joe Walsh's last solo record, 1992's Songs for A Dying Planet, but on June 5th the Eagles and James Gang guitarist will break that silence with the release of Analog Man. Filled with steady rockers like "Hi-Roller Baby" and "Wrecking Ball," not to mention heaps of hot licks (check out the beginning of "India"), Analog Man can be streamed in its entirety here, and you can pre-order the record on iTunes as well.

"I had a really good time doing this album," Walsh told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. "It was great to get my brains out onto a CD. I really think I'm back, and it's not going to be another 25 years until the next one."

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
