The Eagles are to country rock what The Kingston Trio are to folk, which isn't bad necessarily-- it just gives you an idea of where you are. There are better practitioners of both genres. So "String Along" by The Kingston Trio is a very good record, very hummable and entertaining, but no one would call it as good as Woody Guthrie. "On the Border" is good too-- fast songs, slow songs, melodic, digestable-- but there are half a dozen bands that have done better albums. What's that? Name them? Ok, The Buffalo Springfield's first two albums, The Band's first three albums, The Byrds' classic "Sweethearts of the Radio," "Burrito Deluxe," by the Flying Burrito Brothers, both Manassas albums,early LIttle Feat, and Plainsong. Having said that, "Already Gone," is one of my favorite songs of all time. "On the Border" is, in my opinion, a good place to start if you want to check out the Eagles, but you should check out the other bands mentioned here as well.
On the Border Poster
On their third album, the Eagles finally produced a No. 1 hit with "The Best of My Love," but most of On the Border is marked by tough rockers, not sweet ballads. "Already Gone" is a brusque kiss-off and "Midnight Flyer" a bluegrass kicker, while "James Dean" recalls the '50s rebel icon, and the title track reflects on paranoia and creeping Big Brotherism. The Eagles also cover a Tom Waits tune, "Ol' 55," and pay tribute to alt-country godfather Gram Parsons on "My Man." The album title is prophetic in the sense that the band that made this record (bolstered by the addition of guitarist Don Felder) was on the verge of greatness, but not quite there yet. --Daniel DurchholzPop Music CDs
