Joe Walsh wrote "Welcome to the Club" all by himself, words and music, and parked it on So What, his third studio album, which ABC-Dunhill rolled out at the tail end of 1974. It's one of the record's hard rockers, the loud end of an album that also makes room for the more inward-looking "Help Me Through the Night" and "Song for Emma", plus a fresh run at the Barnstorm song "Turn to Stone".
Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner of the Eagles drop in to sing backup on a few of the album's tracks, which plays like foreshadowing now: a year and a half or so later, Walsh was an Eagle himself, taking over from founding member Bernie Leadon and playing on Hotel California.
