Joe Walsh "County Fair" from the album, SO WHAT (1974)

WIKI:

So What is the third album by Joe Walsh, released in 1974 (see 1974 in music). It contains hard rock such as Welcome To The Club and a remake of the Barnstorm track, "Turn To Stone". It also contains more introspective material such as "Help Me Through The Night" and "Song For Emma", a tribute to Walsh's daughter who had been killed in a car accident the previous year.^[1] On a few tracks, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Randy Meisner of the Eagles contributed background vocals. Over a year and a half later, Walsh would be drafted into the Eagles replacing Bernie Leadon.

The album was originally released by ABC Records in 1974. It was re-issued by MCA Records in 1979.
