It’s no secret that I’m an Eagles fan, often times in this world it feels as if I’ve been carrying The Eagles banner almost single handily. And now with the closing of an era, it’s time I laid this torch down. I remember when the tunes of The Eagles where sweet rockin’ and laced with the country essence Gram Parsons, Poco and the Flying Burrito Brothers, showing the world that sweet southern California soul was easy on the ears and a great deal of fun. Yet here on Long Road Out Of Eden, the songs are actually sickly sweet, like the pink flavors of cotton candy mixed with a big bag of Cracker Jacks, causing me feel as if I’m trying to stay warm on a chilled summer night strolling the boardwalk. Sure, the neon lights look warm and kids are shouting from the Tilt-A-Whorl. But no one is actually having any fun.Out of the twenty songs found here, only four are worthy of your consideration: “Guilty Of The Crime,” a more then magnificent number sung by Joe Walsh, “Somebody,” which is as tight well crafted and played as well as you’ll ever find, matched with lyrics that are thrown down like tumbling dice rolled to win. Then in walks “Busy Being Fabulous,” with its unique sound that's been blended with a dynamic vision that could have been the future of The Eagles, but alas no.
Finally there’s “How Long,” which is simply pure Eagles, all you could wish for, what the Eagles have always done when they’re at their best.Yet what really got to me was the lack of sincerity on the part of The Eagles and their personal stance toward the destruction of small towns and communities by big business. Namely that this album was released through Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club Stores only, meaning that the corporations must have certainly sweetened the pot to close out all other retailers from the ability to sell their share, all from a band that once represented so much of the American music scene, not to mention that in November of 2007, following right on the heals of this double disc release, the Eagles had the (laughing) foresight to release the Deluxe Collector’s Edition containing two bonus tracks that were favored in the UK as part of the standard edition. All of this sparked me to remember that The Eagles had several songs about greed back when they had some integrity, back when they were fighting the corporate music system for their fair share of the royalties.
Dec 10, 2018 - Long Road Out of Eden 72. I Dreamed There Was No War 73. Frail Grasp on the Big Picture 75. Last Good Time in Town 76. Oct 17, 2017 This latter-day single, from 2007's Long Road Out Of Eden, has a vintage feel, and for good reason; The group actually performed the JD Southern.
Yet now they seem part of that same system, freezing out the small brick and mortar stores in favor of the biggest corporations on earth.I’d love to suggest that you avoid this album on sheer principal alone, but the four songs I mentioned are so blistering good that I would feel badly for depriving you of them. Save yourself some money and just score these four numbers, or purchase this collection on the secondary market. Allow me to assure you that anyone who thinks this is a great Eagles album has never heard The Eagles before.Review by Jenell Kesler.
