1972-ASYLUM
Produced By GLYN JOHNS
1. Take It Easy
2. Witchy Woman
3. Chug All Night
4. Most Of Us Are Sad
5. Nightingale
6. Train Leaves Here This Morning
7. Take The Devil
8. Earlybird
9. Peaceful Easy Feeling
10. Tryin’
The Eagles were originally assembled from other groups to be the backing band for Linda Ronstadt in 1971. They played on her self-titled album, and at one Ronstadt concert (Disneyland) before deciding to try it as a band on their own. Eagles is their debut album, released in 1972, a sometimes tentative and sometimes bold stepping out for the new band. A four piece band at the time (they would stay that way until adding Don Felder in 1974), the songwriting was split surprisingly evenly between the band, with everyone contributing on three songs except for Don Henley, who co-wrote only one track. The album also features two songs by Jackson Browne, one by Jack Tempchin, and a contribution from former Byrd Gene Clark. The album was a commercial success, boasting three hit singles and making the band stars. It was also instrumental in the success of what was becoming the Southern California country rock sound, which was headed by acts like Browne, Ronstadt and the Eagles. How country this band was has always been debated, although their sound has become the blueprint for modern pop country of the 2010’s.
“Take It Easy” (mostly written by Browne) brought the band instant success a month prior to the album’s release. It showcases everything that was great about the band: they could definitely play, they had a great secret weapon in former Flying Burrito Brother Bernie Leadon (his banjo work is fine), and mostly that this band had the vocal chops to compete with anyone. “Witchy Woman”, written by Henley and Leadon, shows a more rock side of the group. Jack Tempchin’s “Peaceful Easy Feeling” was a big hit, and marks the beginning of 70’s soft rock. The best track on the record is the beautiful Gene Clark song, “Train Leaves Here This Morning”. Sung by Leadon, it’s a simple arrangement and a beautiful song, the unknown highlight of their debut. The rest of the tracks are forgettable throwaways, and the album suffers from the lack of presence by Henley, who would later be a dominant force as a singer and writer in the group. Eagles is an average to almost very good debut album. Better work from these guys was to come later on. [First added to this chart: 01/29/2014]

I have three words of advice to ANY band…I don’t care who you are…that wants to have a reunion. DON’T. DO. IT. Eagles broke up in 1981 amid huge differences of opinions, over inflated egos, and being bigger and more famous than any of them could handle…even Joe Walsh. They had always been critically hammered but loved by their fans. They oh so famously announced when they split that they would play together again “when hell freezes over”. So, really…who didn’t see this coming? Don Henley and Glenn Frey spent 13 years hating each other from afar, but apparently that hate wasn’t paying the bills, so they decided to MAKE hell freeze over. Granted, there is no JD Souther here, no Randy Meisner…and barely a trace of rock to be found.
The first four tracks are new studio recordings, one of which (“Get Over It”) was a minor hit, and another, “Love Will Keep Us Alive”, wasn’t written by any of the band members, but did establish them as top players in the always boring genre of adult contemporary. Beginning with “Tequila Sunrise”, the tracks are recorded live at Burbank Sound Studios. All are Eagles oldies (with the exception of Henley’s sappy “New York Minute” from his solo album End Of The Innocence), and all, except for “Life In The Fast Lane”, are dreary remakes of their hit ballads. The high note, “Hotel California”, never rocks, but features impeccable harmonies and perfect sound, bringing back to mind that the 1981 album Eagles Live was likely the most overdubbed live album in history. This album announces that the band is back, and that they are most certainly NOT here to rock you, ever again. Watch the DVD (it features a cleverly separated version of the always oversung “Seven Bridges Road”) as it’s very nice looking and sounds great on your surround system. Stick with the older albums, if you need to. [First added to this chart: 06/21/2013]
