Walsh said about the deal in a statement, “It is such a pleasure to be partnered with a team who are hands on and personal and who have shown their passion for and dedication to my work. I look forward to a great partnership and future with Reservoir.”

It is an honor to partner with Joe and we look forward to supporting him in all his future endeavors.”
Among the many noteworthy songs Walsh has penned or co-written are the James Gang classics “Funk #49” and “Walk Away”; the Eagles tunes “Life in the Fast Lane,” “In the City,” and “The Sad Café”; and the solo hits “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Life’s Been Good,” “All Night Long,” and “A Life of Illusion.”
