I remember that I misplaced it quite a while ago, and I still haven't found it. I have no idea where it is, but I'd bet good money that one of these days, when least expected, it'll show up again.
    Sorry for quoting myself, but, sure enough, I finally found my Confessor CD a while back. It had slipped behind the other CD's in the cabinet. Anyway, I'm going to put this in my car and listen to it this week going back and forth to work. I agree that it is one of Joe's best solo efforts.

    So again ...

    HAPPY 29TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE CONFESSOR!!!

    Happy 29th Anniversary to the Confessor. I don't know much about the album other than the title track, but I did find this album on Spotify. I'm going to listen to it one day.

    Thanks for clocking it up shunlvswx

    Besides being a huge Walsh fan, I was also a Stevie Nicks fan, loving her first two albums. At the time, I was totally unaware that they had hooked up.

    I was disappointed with both the resultant albums. The Confessor and Stevie's Rock A Little.

    I tried so hard to like The Confessor but I felt the album was missing some Walsh essentials, ie. great production, likeable songs, real drums and a bit of instrumental interplay ie Bill Szymzyck and Joe Vitale.

    Rock A Little has grown on me. The Confessor is still, and I hope will always be, my least favourite Joe Walsh album.

    Couldn't have said it better myself Funk 50. Never bought another Stevie Nicks anything after Rock a Little. I only like about 1/2 of the Confessor album. Joe's albums from the 90's are far superior to this. In their defense I will say it was an ugly coked out time for both of them.

    Interesting. I think The Confessor is far superior to Joe's late 80s and 90s output, although inferior to the work that came before it. To each his/her own, of course.

    The quality of Stevie's albums has followed a similar trajectory to Joe's, IMHO, despite the fact that she sells a lot more. Rock a Little was inferior to what came before it and superior to what came after it until 2001's Trouble in Shangri-La, and Joe's work after The Confessor was on a downward slide until 2012's Analog Man. Again, just my opinion.

    There hasn't been another album that I've tried so hard to like. If there is anybody that likes The Confessor, I'd love to know, what it is that I'm missing.

    If The Confessor was the first Joe Walsh album I'd bought, I'm sure I'd never have become a Joe Walsh fan.
