Our Review

The Eagles followed up the landmark success of Hotel California with their hardest-rocking album to date. By 1979, the gauzy country of On the Border and Desperado seemed like a distant memory, replaced by the sneering, searing rock of “Heartache Tonight” and “These Shoes.” Glenn Frey and Don Henley had once made Los Angeles sound like a carefree oasis, but songs like “In the City” describe a city that has grown dangerous and suffocating: “Nothing grows, and life ain’t very pretty / No one’s there to catch you when you fall / Somewhere out on that horizon / Faraway from the neon sky / I know there must be somethin’ better.” The onslaught of punk and disco made it hard for the Eagles to maintain their identity, and though “The Disco Strangler,” “King of Hollywood,” and “Teenage Jail” are ostensibly about the sleazy ways of others, it is hard not to read these songs as a reflection of the Eagles’ own state of mind. Nevertheless, Timothy B. Schmit’s “I Can’t Tell You Why” brings the album a touch of delicacy worthy of Al Green. The good times were almost over, but this portrait of suspicion and exhaustion is vivid, and “The Sad Café” brings the perfect bittersweet ending to a decade dominated by the Eagles.

Not their best, but still pretty good. (4 stars)
Following by three years the group’s blockbuster Hotel California, this was perhaps bound to be something of a letdown. Sonically, it continues in the rock-oriented direction of its predecessor, almost entirely eschewing the old-country-rock sound. The punchy “Heartache Tonight,” the lead single (and a number 1 US hit), represented this direction, and the less-known songs before and after it, especially “The Disco Strangler,” “Th

Our Long Run (4 stars)
If you cannot understand why this is good, why it was great then, and why it is sentinal now, you do not understand the times, the band, nor yourself.

My First Eagles Album... (4 stars)
Timothy B. Schmidt's vocals on "I Can't Tell You Why" grabbed my attention. I had a high vocal range and I could sing along with this one. The title cut "The Long Run" has always been a statement of survival, as well as a comment on the ever-changing music scene. Don Henley proved to be the most successful survivor after the Eagles broke up, but I think that the body of their collected works is a tribute to their pro

With five number one singles, fourteen Top 40 hits, and four number one albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of those albums — Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California — ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, and the popularity of 2007's Long Road Out of Eden proved the Eagles' staying power in the new millenium. Though most of its members came from outside California, the group was closely...
