If ever a group of musicians had a clear vision of where they wanted to go and how to get there, it was these southern California boys who built a steady rolling FM hit factory on basic tenets of Gram Parsons's invention of country-rock. For their second album, the group decided concept was most important and set out to portray themselves as keepers of the old West--their outlaw image a natural for those born unto rock and roll soil. The hits are lazy, decadent, and unrepentant; "Tequila Sunrise" and the title track, feature the flawless harmonies and strong vocals of Glenn Frey and Don Henley. --Rob O'Connor

 Deperado October 11, 2008
Gregory Marcum (Cincinnati, OH USA)

The Best One! September 26, 2008
H. Arnold (Kalispell, MT.)
Basicaly a concept album about bank robbers,desperados and the wildness of youth, this album still stands tall today. starting with the melodic Doolin Daltons, this song basically say's, your not going to live long breaking the law. i like every song on this album, especialy the one's you don't hear on the radio all the time. Like the hard rocker Out of Control. the beautiful Saturday night, and one of Bernie Leadon's best songs ever, Bitter Creek. each song on this album tells a story, and these are stories you can hear again and again. don't forget the songs you do hear on the radio, Desperado - Tequila sunrise, a great album for new fans and old fans alike! Highly recomended!
 Good (Country Rock) Eagles September 13, 2008
Josh Lindsay (Whittier, CA USA)
The Eagles, Desperado, 1973
The definite standouts of this album are no doubt Tequila Sunrise and Desperado, which were actually written in the same week, but that is beyond the point. There is one other major standout though, and that is the opener, Doolin Dalton. It is a slower number that is amazing Country Rock in the league of Gram Parsons. There are also a couple fast and fun songs, like Twenty-One, but the ones that keep you listening are the deeper cuts, like Outlaw Man and the mandolin driven Saturday Night. So, if you like Gram Parsons or the Marshall Tucker Band, or just want to hear early Eagles, then this is definitely worth the purchase!
Absolutely Classic September 2, 2008
TYR (USA)
This is, I believe, the strongest Eagles album start to finish. It has a consistent Western theme though the styles of the particular songs vary from hard rock ("Out Of Control") to bluegrass ("Twenty-one").
Potential buyers who are first exploring the Eagles past their greatest hits albums should note, however, that there is a large stylistic difference between their first two albums and their later works such as "Hotel California". This is not necessarily a bad thing, but something you should be aware of.
This would certainly be on my "trapped on a desert island" list of CDs.
sophmore effort August 19, 2008
Zachary D. Furr (IN, Indianapolis)
This is the sophmore effort to their debut album the eageals. Two of their singles is Outlaw Man and Tequila Sunrise, the title track Desarado is one of their signature songs but it was never released as a single. The song Certain Kind of Fool is sung by the bassist Randy Meisner. This album is a "concept album" it is based on "Dalton gang" ambiented in the old west. I would recomend this in your cd collection
