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. The form of this particular piece is a strophic form, meaning the melody is the same throughout each stanza in the song. The form, specifically, is A-A-B-A. In The Enjoyment of Music: An Introduction to Perceptive Listening, Forney and Machlis further explain that “in this structure, while the music within the stanza offers contrast, its repetition also binds the song together” (30). Each verse is somewhat different than the others, but the repetition of the melodies and lyrics allows the verses to all come together to create the united piece of music in a strophic form. Each verse of the song contains .

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.

Joe Walsh Saturday, September 1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 17, 2012 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT & CLASSIC ROCK 101 PRESENT JOE WALSH SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 Richmond, BC – Best known for his popular guitar licks, musician Joe Walsh has entertained the masses and captivated his peers for more than three decades with such classics as “Funk #49”, “Walk Away”, “Life’s Been Good”, “A Life of Illusion” and “Ordinary Average Guy”. Walsh had played with many bands but it wasn’t until 1969 when he joined the Cleveland based power trio, The James Gang that he got a taste of sweet success. The Gang released four albums in the early 70’s … two of which went gold. Joe then decided to head west to Colorado where he put together the trio, Barnstorm in 1972 and released two albums. Still feeling there was something more for him, Joe released his first solo album in 1974. So What proved Joe a legitimate solo act with a limitless career on the horizon. Then in 1976, he was asked by the Eagles to replace guitarist Bernie Leadon bringing a harder rock sound to the group. At the end of the year, they released their fifth studio album, Hotel California which went gold reaching #1 on the Billboard Charts followed by The Long Run (1979) and Eagles Live (1980) reaching Billboard’s #1 and #6 respectively. At the same time, Joe released two solo albums ...You Can’t Argue With a Sick Mind (1976) and But Seriously Folks (1978) which boasted the notorious hit, “Life’s Been Good”. During the 14-year hiatus of the Eagles, Joe focussed on his solo career releasing several albums including There Goes The Neighborhood (1981), The Confessor (1985) and Ordinary Average Guy (1991).

GO 4 ROCK (click on the arrow above for more tracks.) HOTEL CALIFORNIA Don Felder - Don Henley - Glenn Frey THE EAGLES 1977 Asylum Records #45386 The lead single from the album HOTEL CALIFORNIA. Chart: #1. Time: 6:30. Flip Side: "Pretty Maids All In A Row ". Released in U.S.A on February 22, 1977. Album recorded at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida and The Record Plant, Los Angeles, California, USA, March to October, 1976. Produced by Bill Szymczyk. Engineered by Bill Szymczyk, Allan Blazek, Ed Mashel and Bruce Hensal. Mixed by Bill Szymczyk in Miami. The Eagles in their earlier years were forced to record music that was more softer then what they wanted. After three albums, they broke with their producer and took control of their destiny, adding Joe Walsh and, important to this track in particular, Don Felder. They wanted to rock. And rock they did. They created not only their most played track, but one of the greatest of the 1970's. While on the surface, it seemed to be about California, it was more about the excesses and self-indulgence of America as a whole. - Larry - Personnel DON HENLEY Don Henley - lead vocals, drums, percussion Glenn Frey - vocals, guitar, keyboards "'Hotel California' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles. It was meant to be a Don Felder - vocals, guitar, slide guitar metaphor for the United States, for the excesses this country has always been known for. It wasn't Joe Walsh - vocals, guitar, keyboards meant to be just about California or Beverly Hills.
