Island Studios, London, England.Photographer: Henry Diltz.The Eagles'
excellent debut indicated that they were quickly on their way to
becoming one of America's leading country-rock acts. DESPERADO, their
second release, ostensibly a concept album about an outlaw figure of the
Old West, furthered their claim. Recorded in London under the aegis of
Glyn Johns, the set was marked by the quartet's highly measured playing,
distinctive, high-flown harmonies, and accessible folk and
country-flavored pop-rock. DEPERADO may not be as cohesive as its
predecessor, but the different styles it encompasses mirror the Eagles'
many strengths."Twenty-one" is Flying Burrito Brothers-style
country-rock, "Out of Control" is amped-up blues-rock, whereas the title
track is a plaintive, melancholic piano ballad (abetted by a string
section). Don Henley plays a bigger part on DESPERADO, lending vocals
and co-writing much of the material, including the opener "Doolin
Dalton" and the lazy, beautiful "Tequila Sunrise," the record's single.
The Eagles' sophomore album showed them developing their signature
style, and achieving the radio-friendly sheen they would refine over the
next two albums, then perfect on 1976's HOTEL CALIFORNIA.
