"Funk #49" is a song written by Joe Walsh, Jim Fox, and Dale Peters, and recorded by American hard rock band James Gang.
Much of the song is instrumental, drawing from Joe Walsh's guitar, Dale Peters' bass work, and Jim Fox's drumming.
[4] Walsh explained the writing of the song, "I came up with the basic guitar lick, and the words never really impressed me intellectually, but they seemed to fit somehow.
It was a real good example of how we put things together, bearing in mind that it was a three piece group, and I don't think that there was any overdubbing.
"[4] Walsh would later record a "Funk #50", which was included on his eleventh and latest solo studio album, Analog Man (2012).
