Turn to Stone (Joe Walsh and Barnstorm song)

"Turn to Stone" is a 1972 song by the American singer-songwriter Joe Walsh and his band Barnstorm, with writing credits given to Terry Trebandt, and Walsh. The song was originally released on the album Barnstorm.

Walsh later covered the song on his 1974 solo album So What, and released it as a single. Cash Box said that it showed off Walsh's "pyrotechnic guitar abilities" and commented on the "broad, swooping chords and accented rhythm section."^[1] The single peaked at #93 on the US Billboard chart.

In 1976, Walsh recorded it on his You Can't Argue with a Sick Mind live album.

The Eagles played the song, with Walsh singing, during their March 4, 1980, performance at Inglewood, CA.
