second album from The Eagles....
bit of a country sound happening here...
even the lyrics are very "outlaw country" in places...
a hugely consistent album IMO, only let down for me is the instrumental of
"doolin-Dalton", I don't see the need for that, to me it just doesn't fit the album...
that said at the end is a reprise of "doolin-Dalton" and "desperado", which I think is simply superb...
its like both songs were meant to be recorded as one piece, still love the individual versions of
each track also...
even the tracks I like but don't love were unlucky to not get a *** rating....
a great album, scores slightly higher than Hotel California from me and at the moment this one would be my
go to album of theirs without a shadow of a doubt!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
