Joe Walsh - All Night Laundry Mat Blues (So What vinyl LP / lyrics)

I got the all night Laundry Mat blues 

Washing everything I own except my shoes 

I got makeup round the collar 

And it smells like sweat 

A dollar in the drier 

And it ain't dry yet

If you wear clothes, you got to pay the dues 

Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues 

Yes you do 

Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues

Two months before the release of the album, Walsh was asked about the album, and he said "I know this album's going to be an important one for me, but it's not easy to just crank them out anymore, I've got, what, six or seven albums out. I don't want the next album to sound like a bunch of outtakes from Smoker. I want it to be the difference between Revolver and Sgt. Pepper. I've held back [the album's release] until that development was there, even though the record company's been screaming for it. I want it to be a big, big step… in thoughts, vocals, playing and maturity."

All posts in this channel are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs.  Unless noted, this channel does not use recordings from CDs.  As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album.  Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of  the loudness wars.

 

Hope you enjoy.
