Always A RISK TO TALK About THIS Band...WATCH It BEFORE it Gets Taken Away! | Professor of Rock

From the early 70s to the close of the decade, the Eagles were flying high, having written a litany of beloved rock-era hits. As well as some classic rock standards that were never released as singles. But life in the fast lane left this 100 million-plus record hit-machine running on empty. Quick tempers, in-fighting, and backstage brawls would plague this band of guitar-slingers for the long run… and their eventual break up was only a matter of time. Today, we’re re-examining the Eagles' explosive story through the lens of some of their most iconic tracks. Hits that were written in unexpected places, like a broke-down road trip, a locked-up nightclub, and one that was about California’s most sinister and haunting locale. The drama unfolds… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

It’s time for another episode of our series Evolution. On this show, we tell the story of a band’s career through 5 defining tracks. These may not be a band’s most popular songs, and they may not even be my personal favorites. But each song will take you from the beginning to the end of a band’s journey and showcase the evolution of their sound and artistic direction. And today we’re featuring one of America’s greatest bands, they are technically called Eagles… but most of us add a the in front of it. Right? here’s the thing. After having done several of these Evolution episodes, I’ve realized that for most bands that we cover, capturing their story in five songs is nearly impossible. And this is especially true for (the) Eagles. So starting today, I’ve decided to bump that song total up to 6 defining tracks. then I won’t cheat and add a tie somewhere. I mean, it had to be done. Anyway, let’s get into it.

Coming together in Los Angeles in 1971, (the) Eagles were formed out of Linda Ronstadt’’s backing group. You had Glenn Frey, previously of Longbranch Pennywhistle on guitar. Bernie Leadon of the Flying Burrito Brothers also on guitar. Randy Meisner formerly of Poco and Rick Nelson‘s Stone Canyon Band on bass. And Don Henley of Shiloh was on drums. Additionally, all four musicians also contributed to vocals. Legendary singer-songwriter Jackson Browne brought the group to the attention of David Geffen, who gave the band a $100,000 advance and sent them to Colorado to put together an act. A month later, they were signed to Asylum Records.

So coming in at #6 going chronologically it’s an all-time standard that Showcases (the) Eagles’ unique brand of country rock music, and helped their 1972 self-titled debut album become a bestseller, going platinum in the US… The success of this initial offering kicked off with their first single and our first Evolution pick, Take it Easy.

Co-authored by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey, the origins of Take It Easy actually lie with Browne who had also signed a deal with Asylum Records. The pressure to compose hit songs for his debut album was overwhelming...
