"Life's Been Good" has a notable style: a mid-tempo Reggae like groove marked by bedrock guitar Riff s, Synthesizer s, a Jew's Harp , and a confused delivery. Walsh's ARP Odyssey riff accompanies the Guitar Solo in the middle of the song. The Outro-solo is longer than most radio stations allow. Bill Szymczyk and Jody Boyer perform the Backing Vocals . This song uses a call-and-response pattern. :''Call: Joe Walsh: "Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through" :''Response: Bill Szymczyk: "Everybody say, 'I'm cool'" Response: Jody Boyer: "He's cool" Made after Walsh had joined The Eagles , "Life's Been Good" was incorporated into that group's concert repertoire, appearing in shows at the time as well as in subsequent reunion tours. It remains a staple of Classic Rock radio playlists. |
