There are some songs that come along in your life and you’re like where have you been? The Bomber by James Gang is one of those songs. There’s too much to talk about this song and I don’t want to do that and bore you all. But I have to say that this 70s tune has been somehow not heard by me, until recently and I can’t stop listening to it.

Known for their great funk songs like: Walk Way, and Funk # 49, Bomber is special in its own right.  Joe Walsh is right up front in the James gang. A lot of people don’t realize he started out there before he was in the Eagles. He has amazing vocals and outstanding guitar chops.

This song starts out with this nice (I want to call it) dirty funk rock heavy guitar like many other songs by this band. The drums are amazing and the guitar riffs are exciting.

Then, in the middle of the song, it breaks off into a really beautiful rendition of Bolero by Ravel. Unexpected and beautiful such a nice surprise. 

Then after Bolero, the song comes back into its main theme and just rocks out until the end. I hope you enjoy it. I do every time I hear it.

Thank you for reading and listening…
