"Barnstorm" was the group created by Joe Walsh after he left the James Gang. The original members of the group were Walsh (guitars, keyboards), Joe Vitale (drums, flute, keyboards) and Kenny Passarelli (bass); all of the members contributed vocals and songs, although Walsh was the principal singer and songwriter. Later, the group added keyboardist Rocke Grace, to permit it to play the complex arrangements live that it was creating through multitracking in the studio or with the help of session musicians Paul Harris (piano) and Joe Lala (percussion).

Barnstorm would record only three albums over its three-year life (two as principals, "Barnstorm" and "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get", plus serving as the backing band on Michael Stanley's "Friends and Legends") before disbanding, although Walsh and Vitale have continued to work together ever since.
