| Notes |
To listeners near and far, the Eagles were an American band. It wasn't simply a matter of birth or geography, but rather that their songs touched on much of the popular musical heritage of America. To this day, listeners here and elsewhere consider American pop music to be country, blues, folk, rockabilly, rhythm-and-blues, Motown. The Eagles were rooted in all of them. It is only appropriate that the name they took for themselves was that of the symbol of America.
Like most Americans, and most bands formed in California, the Eagles came from elsewhere. Their brand of rock 'n' roll was nurtured in the heartland, not on the fringes. Early songs from "Take It Easy" to "Desperado" were dubbed "country rock." But, as the Seventies rolled on, the Eagles soared higher and wider. "Best Of My Love" and "Lyin' Eyes" were rock and pop and country and the fans took them as their own. The distance between the country and the city, the redneck and the hippie, narrowed. In the Nineties, that gap would be forever closed by another generation of country rockers.
The Eagles evolved and grew. The same album that boasted "Take It To The Limit" also included the R&B-flavored title track "One Of These Nights." Soon after, the band laid down harder rock with classics such as "Hotel California," "New Kid In Town" and "Life In The Fast Lane." In fact, the band was so inclusive that the only label that truly attached itself was "California rock." No one knew quite what that meant - except perhaps that, because in California anything was possible, music that came from that promising land was more fre-spirited and free-ranging.
On six studio albums from 1972-1979, the Eagles reflected most of the spectrum of music then heard on American radio and in that decade sold more records than any other American band. The Eagles successfully and popularly fused disparate musical roots. That is their legacy, one which we continue to witness today.
