Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
If ever a group of musicians had a clear vision of where they wanted to go and how to get there, it was these southern California boys who built a steady rolling FM hit factory on basic tenets of Gram Parsons's invention of country-rock. For their second album, the group decided concept was most important and set out to portray themselves as keepers of the old West--their outlaw image a natural for those born unto rock and roll soil. The hits are lazy, decadent and unrepentant; "Tequila Sunrise" and the title track feature the flawless harmonies and strong vocals of Glenn Frey and Don Henley. --Rob O'Connor
Chronique amazon.fr
S'il existe bien un groupe de musiciens ayant une vision claire d'où ils voulaient aller et de la manière d'y arriver, ce sont bien ces Californiens du Sud, qui ont construit une machine à produire des succès pour radio FM sur les principes de base du country-rock inventé par Gram Parsons. Pour leur deuxième album, les Eagles décident que le concept prime sur le reste, et s'attachent à se représenter comme les gardiens du bon vieil Ouest. Leur image de hors-la-loi paraît normale pour des gens nés avec le rock'n'roll. Les hits sont paresseux, décadents, sans honte. "Tequila Sunrise" et le titre éponyme de l'album contiennent les harmonies parfaites et les voix puissantes de Glenn Frey et Don Henley. --Rob O'Connor

The Eagles' cowboy album,
By
This review is from: Desperado (Audio CD)
The Eagles' second album Desperado, released in April of 1973, is the band's best album from their early four-piece lineup. The album was a concept album about the Wild West being used as a metaphor for modern day rock and rollers being seen as outlaws. The album begins with Doolin-Dalton, a nice slow ballad which has drummer Don Henley and guitarist/keyboardist Glenn Frey singing their hearts out. Next is guitarist Bernie Leadon's Twenty One which is the band's most country-tinged song ever. Next is Out of Control which had the heaviest guitars I've ever heard from the Eagles and is a stellar rocker. Tequila Sunrise is a great ballad to relax to after the heavy rock of the previous track. The title cut follows and is a superb ballad which is now the band's closing song. Bass player Randy Meisner starts the second half with the rocker Certain Kind of Fool and is a great song. The Doolin Dalton Instrumental follows and segues into the rocker Outlaw Man. Saturday Night is next and the harmonies are haunting but superb. Bitter Creek follows and is the second best song Leadon contributed to the band, behind My Man (from the follow-up On the Border). The album closes with the repirse to Doolin Dalton and Desperado and is a perfect way to close this fantastic album. I first got this album on cassette as a 9 year old from my old man and today it is still a classic. Higlhy recommended!

Folk/country/rock "outlaw" concept still pleases...,

This review is from: Desperado (Audio CD)
Although I've been a casual fan of Eagles since they got started, I never actually owned one of their albums. I asked for this one for Christmas because in spite of this being only their second release, it has three of their finest songs: "Desperado" and "Tequila Sunrise" and (Whatever Happened to)"Saturday Night." The CD is only a little more than 30 minutes in length, but the rest of it isn't bad either. "Doolin-Dalton" and the "Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise" open and close the journey, and are different enough and good enough to bear repeated play side-by-side. "Outlaw Man" by the under-appreciated '60's folkie David Blue (who died too young) is also of interest. Put on the market 30 years ago, this one still holds up, in my view. The selections could almost pass as traditional cowboy and outlaw songs, and those never go out of date.
