40 Years Ago: The Eagles' 'Desperado' Album Released

Michael Gallucci — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:00:42 +0000

For a band that was never particularly narrative, linear or even all that ambitious with their songwriting, the Eagles’ decision to make their second album a concept record always seemed a bit odd. Their self-titled 1972 debut was filled with peaceful, easy and likable L.A.-style country-rock that rarely grabbed at more than it could handle. At this stage in their career, there was nothing cynical or pretentious about the Eagles.

The Eagles, 'History of the Eagles' – Film Review

Matthew Wilkening — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:25:52 +0000

The three-hour ‘History of the Eagles‘ documentary is an entertaining if slightly sanitized trip through the career of one of rock’s most popular groups. The first two hours, which first aired on Feb. 15, focus on the group’s formation, rise to super-stardom and dramatic breakup, while the following night’s one-hour episode picks the story up [...]

Jeff Giles — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:32:09 +0000

When Don Henley and Glenn Frey set about authorizing the new documentary 'History of the Eagles,' they took the unusual step of securing an Oscar-winning filmmaker to produce -- because, as Frey put it in a recent interview with the New York Times, "Our management sent me what they thought were some of the best music documentaries that had been done. And I wasn’t crazy about any of it."

Don Henley to Release New Solo Album, 'Cass County,' in May

Dave Lifton — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:48:16 +0000

The enduring success of the Eagles means that Don Henley doesn't need to work unless he wants to. And when that time comes, it's hard to get him to stop.

Jeff Giles — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:11:50 +0000

Not that there's ever really been a bad time to be a member of the Eagles, all things considered, but this is shaping up to be a pretty good month for the guys in the band -- especially bassist Timothy B. Schmit, who recently shared the news that his battle with cancer appears to be over.

Jeff Giles — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:36:05 +0000

With the possible exception of Joe Walsh, the guys in the Eagles aren't exactly known for being talkative, and Don Henley tends to be the most taciturn of all -- so the fact that he recently decided to open up to Rolling Stone about the pair of new documentaries delving into the band's history must mean he really likes the movies.
