The Eagles: Desperado | Full Music Movie | Don Henley | Glenn Frey | Randy Meisner

Go back in time to Los Angeles in the seventies - the place and time that provided the backdrop for The Eagles’ sound. In 1973, the Eagles released their second album – an album that provided them with their signature tune and announced the arrival of a major new talent in the field of country rock music. In this unique re-appraisal, join legendary broadcaster Bob Harris for a look at one of America’s favorite bands. The album was produced by Glyn Johns and was recorded at Island Studios in London, England. The songs on Desperado are based on the themes of the Old West. The band members are featured on the album’s cover dressed like an outlaw gang; Desperado remains the only Eagles album where the band members appear on the front cover. The album is now considered by some critics to be one of the significant albums of country rock. Music writer John Einarson argued in his book Desperados: The Roots of Country Rock that despite its weak initial sales, the album “would set the tone for all the later soft country rock sounds, and impact what would become the foundation of “new country“, in both image and music.“ Stars: Malcolm Dome, Barney Hoskins, Cosmic Smiles Director: The Creative Picture Company Current band members (2023) Don Henley – lead and backing vocals, drums, percussion, rhythm guitar (1971–1980, 1994–2016, 2017–present) Joe Walsh – lead and rhythm guitars, backing and lead vocals, keyboards (1975–1980, 1994–2016, 2017–present) Timothy B.
