The Long Run

Eagles

A cynical, ultra-polished snapshot of late-seventies burnout. Slick vocal harmonies meet a darker, weary perspective on the California dream.

Find on Amazon

The sound of the world's biggest band getting tired of being the world's biggest band.

A weary and cynical exploration of fame and social decay wrapped in pristine studio gloss.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The menacing dual talk-box guitar solo on Those Shoes that sounds like a mechanical snarl.
Timothy B. Schmit's crystalline, soul-inflected lead vocal on I Can't Tell You Why.
The sudden, hand-clapping transition into the rowdy shuffle of Heartache Tonight.
