(1983)"There Goes the Neighborhood" is the fifth studio
album byJoe Walsh , released in 1981 (see1981 in music ).The album's biggest hit "A Life of Illusion" was recorded in 1973 with Joe Walsh's first solo band Barnstorm but was not completed. The overdubs and final mixes were completed during the "There Goes the Neighborhood" sessions and released on the album. The promotional video for the track shows the coming to life of the album's cover.
Another track "Rivers (of the Hidden Funk)" was a track Joe wrote for The Eagles' 1979 album "
The Long Run ", but was left off. The track featured a guest appearance by Walsh's Eagles-mateDon Felder on voice box guitar. "Rivers..." received a good bit of FM radio airplay.The album's final track "You Never Know" is a song about rumors and hearsay, including not-so-veiled swipes at other members of the Eagles and their management with lines like "The Frontline grapevine jury's in a nasty mood / you might be guilty, honey, you never know." (Frontline Management was Irving Azoff's management firm at the time). Don Felder appears on guitar on this track performing rhythm and duel lead guitar solos with Walsh.
