  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

  • Scape of America in the Seventies, Casting the Social Mores of Those High-Flying Years Into Keenly Observed Songs That Everyone Came to Know by Heart
    O RP E R F O RP MERS THE EAGLES SOARED ABOVE THE RAPIDLY CHANGING LAND- scape of America in the Seventies, casting the social mores of those high-flying years into keenly observed songs that everyone came to know by heart. In their flight across a decade that they defined as authoritatively as any band, the Eagles mirrored the larger changes tak­ ing place in society They began as wide-eyed innocents with a country- rock pedigree and ended as purveyors of grandiose, dark-themed albums chronicling a world of excess and seduction that had begun spinning seriously out of control. A Hollywood scriptwriter couldn’t have plotted out the parallel history of a band and the decade they inhabited any better than this: The Eagles were born in 1971 and died in 1980. The ultimate plot twist is that they were reborn in 1994 for anoth­ er go-round as the public demonstrated an insatiable appetite for their music and messages. (LThe stats on the Eagles are hugely impressive. A best-of collection, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, has the distinction of being the second biggest-selling album of all time, having sold in excess of twenty-four million copies to date.

Experiencing success beyond their wildest imaginations, The Eagles invented ‘Life in the Fast Lane’: partying hard, throwing TVs out of windows, and all the while still producing carefully crafted tracks full of finely-honed harmonies. ‘Rescue Me’ - Linda Ronstadt SPOTIFY In their earliest formation, The Eagles began as the nameless backing band for American sweetheart Linda Ronstadt – a popular country, folk singer. After completing a whirlwind tour across America during the summer of 1971 and recording on her 1972 self titled album, Don Henely, Glen Frey, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner had caught a taste for fame and desired to embark on their own Rock & Roll adventure. With Linda’s blessing, the four lads formed a band of their own – seeking to produce music that encapsulated their original country rock sound. Henley was on drums and vocals, Frey sang and played guitar and keyboard, Leadon laid down the lead guitar role and Meisner filled in the bass. Soon they were signed to Asylum Records, a fledgling music label that had been recently started by David Geffen.

  • A New Style of Rock
    Love 1 Haley Love MUMH 2040.001- Music Appreciation MWF 10:00 – 10:50 am 1 October 2014 A New Style of Rock A New Style of Rock Love 2 One of the first county rock songs to become a hit in the 1970’s was Take it Easy, by the Eagles. The members of the Eagles over the past years are Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmidt, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner; however, this particular song also includes The Beach Boys as the backup vocalists. This song became extremely popularized because of its significantly unique style: country rock. Many other artists attempted to perfect the country rock style; however, no one was truly able to combine the two properly, until the Eagles released their first hit. Take It Easy was released in May of 1972, and was The Eagle’s first single. This piece of music was originally written by Jackson Browne, but after writing the first verse and not being able to finish it, Browne decided to give the song to the founding member of the Eagles, Glenn Frey. Take It Easy is one of the Eagles most known songs, alongside Hotel California and Desperado. Take It Easy was eventually put on the album, The Eagles, which is listed as number 368 on Rollingstone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”. Most of the Eagles’ music follows a rock style; however, The Eagles took a twist on the style of Take It Easy by adding a steel guitar and a banjo, as well as country lyrics, making it the style known as country rock and folk-rock, according to Olivia Mathers in “Taking It Easy in the Sunbelt: The Eagles and Country Rock’s Regionalism.” While the style of this piece is very important for the historical background of the song, the form is also a very important element of Take It Easy.
