THE CONFESSOR is one of Joe Walsh's string of 1980s post-Eagles solo albums that show he still had plenty more tricks up his sleeve after his big '78 hit, "Life's Been Good." The album deftly mixes loose, off-kilter stoner rock like "I Broke My Leg" with flashes of top-shelf songcraft and six-string wizardry like the epic title track, which moves from dusty folk-rock to larger-than-life stadium rock with seamless grace.
