Those who grew up listening to the Eagles may recall when the song Hotel California came out. It wasn’t long that rumors began circulating about the song’s mystical meaning. Before long, religious zealots determined it was written about Satanism, or the church of Satan. The song then became tied in with many other songs considered to be evil, such as Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven,...
I've been listening to John Fogerty's latest CD, "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again" over the past few days. It's a terrific collection of cover songs with that special Fogerty touch. If you enjoy traditional country music or Bluegrass, you'll like "The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again." Standout tracks include John Prine's "Paradise," which I believe was also recorded...
As a lover of vocal groups from the moment that my dad handed me my first Beach Boys album, I fell in love with the “California Sound” very early. I bought a lot of Beach Boys music in those years, fell in love with the Eagles (before Glenn Frey threatened to kick my ass, Schmit [...]
Aspiring songwriters, take note: Rooming with a future Eagle is a solid career move. Around 1970, J.D. Souther, a struggling singer-songwriter from Amarillo, Texas, shared a $60-a-month apartment in Los Angeles with a shaggy-haired musician named Glenn Frey. Their short-lived…

‘Take It Easy’. Made famous by The Eagles – Glenn Frey co-wrote the song – first became known to me through his collaborator, Jackson Browne, as the opening track on Side 1 of his 1973 album, ‘For Everyman’. The album also features the ‘maxi-instrumentalist’, David Lindley. The instruments mastered by this… err, master, include acoustic and electric...
Just been sent a DVD of the original 4 piece Eagles on a BBC In Concert from 1972. I'd seen the clip of Take It Easy on various BBC clip shows but I'd never seen the full thing. It's a great watch, they're young, keen and obviously having a great time playing with each other (fnarr). Bernie Leadon plays some cracking banjo - anyone who's only familiar with the Eagles that did Hotel California and...
