So What is the 3rd studio album by the American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Walsh. It was released in late 1974 on ABC-Dunhill Records.

It contains hard rock songs such as "Welcome To The Club" and a remake of the Barnstorm track, "Turn To Stone". It also contains more introspective material such as "Help Me Through the Night" and "Song For Emma".

On a few tracks, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Randy Meisner of Eagles contributed backing vocals. Over a year and a half later, Walsh would be drafted into Eagles to replace founding member Bernie Leadon, playing on their best-selling studio album Hotel California.

Joe Walsh is an American rock guitarist, singer and songwriter who has been a member of three successful bands: James Gang, Eagles, and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. He has also recorded solo. His highest charting song is "A Life of Illusion", which reached number-one on Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.
