老鷹合唱團的經典之處，在於所有團員皆可擔綱主唱、或是詞曲創作的腳色，多年來歷經解散、復合與團員更迭，目前成員為鼓手兼主唱唐亨利 (Don Henley)、貝斯手提摩西 (Timothy Schmit)、鍵盤手葛蘭 (Glenn Frey)、吉他手喬 (Joe Walsh)，主唱唐亨利在今年6月宣佈老鷹合唱團加入環球音樂集團，並在10月底發行新專輯，這張專輯被環球音樂總部視為年度重點大片。

被全世界譽為最偉大的搖滾樂團的老鷹合唱團，成軍於1971年，總銷量超過1億2千萬張，得過4座葛萊美獎，並在1998年入主搖滾名人堂。

Songs:

Official Track Listing (unless otherwise noted, song details are from this Billboard First Listen Article)

Disc one:

"No More Walks in the Wood" (4:00) A "gentle and forboding harmony fest" that is, "...part social commentary, part examination of the human condition and part re-introduction of the band via new and powerful songs"

"How Long" (3:20)--Cover of JD Souther song. This was released as the first single and a video was made for this song.

"Busy Being Fabulous" (4:17)--Henley lead vocal. A short clip can be heard on the band's official site. It is described as a "...mid-tempo twanger featuring the familiar Henley vitriol"

"What Do I Do With My Heart" (3:55)-- Frey lead vocal. Country ballad. A short clip can be heard here. "Percussive...and boasts an earnest Frey vocal and a gorgeous, swirling bridge."

"Guilty of the Crime" (3:44) Joe lead vocal. a "...piano-driven, chugging boogie" that Joe also did on the Robocop soundtrack.

"I Don't Want To Hear Anymore" (4:25) This song was written by Paul Carrack. Timothy lead vocal. "...sweeping, rhythmic"

"One song that unfortunately won't be on this album (Carrack's new album) is 'I don't want to hear any more', a song that PC wrote especially for the forthcoming EAGLES album as the EAGLES have asked for 'exlusivity' of this song for a short time. It will probably be on a PC album next year and could still feature on the tour." (Source, Paul Carrack Message Board Thanks, Mr. Haney)

"Waiting in the Weeds"-- (7:10) "an acoustic-based ballad featuring a brilliant Henley lyric, vibrant imagery, haunting instrumentation and well-crafted vocal arrangements."

"No More Cloudy Days" (3:58)--This was featured on the Farewell I DVD (Source: Glenn Frey, Niagara Falls Concert)

"Fast Company" (3:57) -- This song was a bonus on Walmart's 2006 Thanksgiving release of the Farewell I DVD. It's a funky little number featuring a lead Henley vocal and is about the dangers of fame. It's kind of New Kid in Town revamped for the Federline set.

"Do Something" (5:06)-- This song was a bonus on Walmart's 2006 Thanksgiving release of the Farewell I DVD. Timothy sings lead on most of this, but Don sings the bridge. One one level it's about fighting for love, on another level, it's about taking a stand. Nice harmonies on this.

"You Are Not Alone"-- (2:30) A song Glenn wrote for his teenage daughter who was going through some hard times. (Source: Glenn Frey, Niagara Falls Concert)

Disc two:

"Long Road Out of Eden" (10:15)--The title track and a Henley opus. Glenn says this song is about 10 minutes long and very ponderous. (Source: Glenn Frey, Niagara Falls Concert) The Henley-penned title song, he added, is “written (from) the eyes of a U.S. serviceman and the way he sees the world.” (Source: Joe Walsh interview)

"an apocalyptic cautionary tale that blends desert imagery, spiritual overtones and wry observations on consumerism"

"I Dreamed There Was No War" (1:37) An instrumental number designed to let people rest after "Long Road Out of Eden" Sounds like "Battle Hymn of the Republic"

"Somebody" (4:12) A "spooky, paranoid rocker"

"Frail Grasp on the Big Picture" (5:10) "...an adventurous funk-rock powerhouse with biting takes on religion, journalism ("dead and gone," according to the Eagles), sex, money and politics."


"Last Good Time in Town" (7:15) "an infectious (even danceable) romp" from Joe.

"I Love To Watch a Woman Dance" (3:11)--Glenn sings lead on this cover of a Larry John McNally song (McNally also wrote For My Wedding which appeared on Henley's Inside Job album...the 2 songs sound similar)

"Business As Usual" (5:34) A "pulsing rocker"

"Center of the Universe" (3:48) vaguely Beatles-esque "Center of the Universe" offers observant perspective on enduring love. Lyric is: I thought I'd be above it all by now, in some country garden in the shade," Henley lead vocal.

"It's Your World Now" (4:20) Frey lead vocal. "...bittersweet".

What Else Do We Know?

The album went through a "...bucket of producers" (Source: Joe Walsh interview)

Joe says he has 2 songs on the album (Source: Joe Walsh interview)

Joe told Billbaord: "...that all of the band members -- himself, Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Timothy B. Schmit -- wrote songs for the album, which he says "go in some really, really new, different directions. It's hard to compare to anything that I hear out there now." For his songs, however, Walsh "went rock'n’roll," including one "extended" track with "a middle full of guitar statement" and another that's "full-on rock'n'roll. I didn't want us to be too ballad-y here. We need some stuff we can play live, so I made sure there was that element in the record." (Source: Billboard)
