Digging this. Maybe because it reminds me of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Christine's Tune." But so far, my favorite/least-annoying Eagles harmony singing.

pretty much "Son of Earlybird" but fine enough (Leadon's main lyrical theme of the time was "being young and a slacker is great, man"---hell, there are worse themes).

The subtitle “Musical Memoir” signals what Ms. Ronstadt’s book is about, but also what it’s not about — the hedonistic excesses of the pop star’s life. She sidesteps the rampant drug use, though in conversation she acknowledged, “I tried everything,” including cocaine, which she did to such excess that she needed to have her nose cauterized, twice. For Ms. Ronstadt, who was often the only woman on the bus and in the hotel, those were not always happy times. “All the men chased girls,” she said. “They were good guys,” she reflected. “Well, no they weren’t. They were cowboys. They were gunslingers.”

But then I look at the list, see that ABBA even beats them and go, Damn, American bands. Get with it.

I wasn't aware until this week that Desperado and its singles sold relatively poorly upon its release. Unless there's some deep cuts I'm unaware of (and of course, there are many), I think they gave up this banjo-y stuff once they made it huge.
― Lee626, Sunday, 1 September 2013 21:29 (ten years ago) link
It's going to be weird doing a concept album day-by-day. What'm I supposed to say about Twenty-One? It's a banjo-led ditty that doesn't sound like The Eagles. I'd never listen to it if we weren't doing this thread. It's ... I don't know what it is.

I had this silly image in my head of Bernie Leadon just constantly walking around playing banjo the whole time he's in the Eagles, it's just that they only decided to mike him every now and then
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 1 September 2013 22:53 (ten years ago) link
so far, this is my fave deep cut. it moves, it's got some banjo, and, well, the competition from the other deep cuts isn't all that strong.

Actually there's banjo stuff as long as Leadon was in the band.
He did some pretty mean pickin' on one song on the BBC In Concert programme - I confess i have no idea what the song was, but it was one of these:
*Train Leaves Here This MorningSaturday Night*Peaceful Easy FeelingCertain Kind Of FoolEarly BirdOut Of Control*Witchy Woman*Take It Easy
*not these, I know those songs

Henley's drumming is surprisingly lively. But this is basically a 2nd-rate "Fool for the City" or "Rock & Roll Band" (the Boston song).
― Shart Week (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 2 September 2013 14:26 (ten years ago) link
Sounds like a tape of my college-era band rehearsing - we could never all agree when to end the song and everyone wanted to get in the last lick.

the first two songs on this record might actually get you thinking that there's a whole record of reasonably enjoyable music ahead of you, and then this song is like no way man you're still just listening to the eagles.

Scott otm. "Out Ov Controll" anyone? It stands to reason the Eagles would soak up some Glam influence recording in London in '72-3. Of course Slade Did This Stuff Better.

Don't hate this. At worst, I'm as indifferent to it as I've been to all of the non-singles we've covered so far 'cept "Doolin Dalton" (which I like!) and "Take the Devil" (which sucks).
