Free Music Review: JUST A LITTLE TOUCH OF PARADISE IN A DISAPPEARING EDEN
Hit: 5 Stars
Perusing the reviews on Amazon, I'm noticing a lot of bad reviews for the new Eagles album. I'm thinking, it has been 28 years since The Long Run. Their last complete studio album. Can it really be that bad? Did they blow it? Have the Eagles really fallen that far from their roots? Am I to be disappointed after anticipating this release for maybe 2 years? They had been putting off this release time and time again.
I'm happy to say, that I'm not one of the cynical older fans of my generation with a closed mind and a tin ear.
I've been an Eagles fan all my life. I lost my virginity listening to these guys in the 70s. Obviously, their music holds a special place in my heart. Here's my feeling about what I consider to be a Classic Eagles' Recording. No one has mentioned this as far as I can see, but Eagles' Love Songs and Ballads reflected a lot of the Loved and Lost themes that made them so important back in the day, to an endlessly broken hearted teenager like myself. Disc One contains a lot of great Eagles' Break-up Music. This is the single most important reason this is a Classic Eagles album to me. So much good music, I almost wet myself. I'm 47, and I've recently had my heart broken by a girl. And the Eagles are playing the soundtrack to my life, yet again. I just knew they wouldn't let me down.
This whole album is very very GOOD! It might just be a Masterpiece.
Disc One: The opener NO MORE WALKS IN THE WOOD is old time Eagles' harmonies. We're goin' way back to CSNY harmonies, folks. It would have fit nicely on the Desperado album. This one song was worth the whole price of admission to me, when I first heard it. Gorgeous song about a sad time for Mother Earth. Amazing. Like being outdoors, in God's Only Church. Note: The harmonies on this album are softer, quieter, and more subtle than some of their older harmonies. They have matured nicely. HOW LONG is the obvious Single off of this release where you realize a Don Felder guitar hook may be missing. Doesn't matter. Great old chuggin' Southern Rock song that would have fit nicely on the Eagles First album, or their On The Border album. Here's the nostalgic tune I was expecting. Next is what I consider a Classic Henley song on this recording, BUSY BEING FABULOUS. The first of the great Break-up Songs. Henley must have been saving these tunes for the Eagles, because he hasn't written solo material this good in a while. Frey's WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HEART is the first tune on these two discs that has Instant Eagles Classic status written all over it. That spot is usually reserved for Henley. Listen to the harmonies and the lyrics. Right up there with BEST OF MY LOVE. GUILTY OF A CRIME is the only throw away track on this entire album. The Eagles help Walsh put the signature to the tune with the harmonies, but this is the only track that doesn't do anything for me. But, never fear, Joe makes a comeback on Disc Two. Once a falsetto replacement for Randy Meisner, Timothy Schmit proves once and for all that he belongs in the Eagles with I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE. The end of your love never hurt so good. Next is another signature Henley Love Gone Wrong Song, WAITING IN THE WEEDS. Wonderfully executed in storytelling mode, this would NOT have been out of place on the Desperado album. Beautiful song. Frey's song to his daughter, NO MORE CLOUDY DAYS is another impressive Heart Break Song that grabs the Instant Classic status. Wow. That's two for Frey on this disc alone. Next is the Blue-Eyed Soul R&B rocker FAST COMPANY. Daryl Hall would be proud. Philly Soul all the way, Baby. I love it. This song would have fit nicely on their, oft maligned, R&B flavored album, The Long Run. DO SOMETHING is just plain old beautiful PEDAL STEEL Country flavored Eagles, folks. Yeah. The short and lovely, YOU ARE NOT ALONE rounds off this Classic Eagles trip down memory lane. I don't care what the cynics say, it doesn't get much better than this, people. We used to listen to the Eagles around the campfire in the Mojave Desert when I was growing up. I wish I would have heard this there, first. I would have been in awe just listening to this first disc over and over again. But, there's more.
Disc Two is where the Eagles get to evolve and stretch out with some good blues and more. Something that was obviously taking place in the late 70s with The Long Run, but was halted by their break-up. People forget that the Eagles are not afraid to experiment a little with style. I'm thinking of their Classical Western Soundtrack instrumental, JOURNEY OF THE SORCERER from One of These Nights. I was so excited the first time I listened to Disc Two, when I heard they were experimenting. I was not disappointed. But, it's not experimental after all, it's just good good Eagles' music!
DISC TWO: Starts off with Henley's follow-up to his Eagles' Masterpiece, THE LAST RESORT. Paradise is dying in LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN. A prescient Protest song about the cultural decaying of America. The title means: we've come a long way to destroy the paradise that was once The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave. And it too, is a Masterpiece. This song does not have a happy ending. It is hopelessly Bluesy. Great guitar solo by Walsh. And, it's the Best song on the album. And the most Powerful. I absolutely love this side of Henley's music. Keep on preachin', Preacherman. This song means so much to me. I love you, man. Next is the short but sweet Protest Anthem, I DREAMED THERE WAS NO WAR. Beautiful guitar piece with synth strings, that's over much too quickly. The rockin' Western Grunge sound of Frey's SOMEBODY is next. Another Hit. More smooth R&B Blues Rock from Henley on FRAIL GRASP ON THE BIG PICTURE. I'm talkin' smooooth. Great guitar work. The best Rocker on the album includes a pulpit organ sermon on religion from Henley himself. Righteous. Someone else said it. I'm gonna repeat it. Joe Walsh's quirky LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN would fit very well on a Steely Dan album. Awesome blue-eyed soul and jazz. And blues! The band was groovin' on this one! WOW! Funky smooooth stuff, man! The chorus is a Hit! And the solo smokes. And it's quite simply, the best thing I've ever heard from Joe Walsh. Donald Fagen wishes he wrote this one, indeed. Frey's I LOVE TO WATCH A WOMAN DANCE should have been placed in sequence on Disc One. It's old time Eagles complete with that waltzing mandolin sound that's straight from the Desperado era. Just beautiful. BUSINESS AS USUAL is another Rockin' Protest romp from Henley about the free market and cultural decay. "It's a soul-sucking world." Wow. I wish I had wrote that. Nice guitar work. Blues? Yeah, man. CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE might be the most beautiful song on this album next to NO MORE WALKS IN THE WOOD. Makes me want to cry. Absolutely gorgeous harmonies. Touching. Rounding out this superb collection is Frey's Tex-Mex song IT'S YOUR WORLD NOW, complete with marimba and Mexican horns. Quite simply, an Eagles Hit!
I'm in Heaven. This is Classic Eagles Music! Ten years down the road, I know I'll STILL be playing it! I just hope it's not 28 more years for a new album. I'll be dead by then. If they actually played music like this on the radio anymore, this album would score big with a plethora of Hits!
JUST A LITTLE TOUCH OF PARADISE IN A DISAPPEARING EDEN.
I can't believe it. I'm STILL an Eagles fan!
Long Road Out of Eden Poster
Import double vinyl LP pressing of The Eagles' chart-topping 2007 reunion album. Universal.What a long, strange wait it's been. Don Felder has left, a generation has grown into adulthood, and at long last, Eagles return with a new studio album, their first since 1979's The Long Run. Given the interim, though, fans couldn't possibly have asked for more. The two-disc, 20-track Long Road Out of Eden not only retains the entire menu of the Eagles' staple sounds--effortless, multi-part harmonies; colorful, if not intricate, guitar embellishment; meticulously crafted songwriting; squeaky-clean, almost geriatric production--but many of these songs also viscerally recall past hits from Eagles' or the extant members' solo records. Like revenant doubles, "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture" echoes "Life in the Fast Lane," "How Long" channels "Take It Easy," the guitar arpeggio threading through "Center of the Universe" hints at the ubiquitous "Hotel California," and "Business As Usual" could have been culled from the cutting room floor from Don Henley's The End of the Innocence. The effect of all this familiarity is one of masterfully crafted self-tribute with one eye riveted on posterity, calculated to please both the deep-pocketed who can still afford the Eagles' concerts and those who'd given up on ever hearing new material again. --Jason Kirk
