(Soul, R&B, Blues Rock, Country Rock Band, Eagles, 6th Album) Eagles - The Long Run LP

Product Description

Eagles – The Long Run Japanese original LP of the sixth studio album released in 1979. Following 《Hotel California》, it reached number one on the US Billboard 200 for 9 weeks and produced three US Top 10 singles: 「Heartache Tonight」, 「The Long Run」, and 「I Can't Tell You Why」. *** Heartache Tonight https://youtu.be/jBte_o5JpJA?si=HFptcf8Pf8QdgLDD *** I Can't Tell You Why https://youtu.be/W4AELS0aicE?si=Jctcg_XeWRdbueGg ■■ Condition: Jacket EX+/ Disc NM (Obi not included, inner sleeve, jacket, and disc are clean) Based on the lyricism of country rock and sophisticated vocal harmonies, the Eagles are a representative American band that combines guitar-driven rock with polished pop. This work is the first studio album to feature Timothy B. Schmit, who joined following the departure of original bassist Randy Meisner; his high range and smooth voice expanded the band's expressive spectrum. It is the final studio work before their hiatus in 1980, and their next full studio album, 《Long Road Out of Eden》, was released in 2007. Musically, it does not stay confined to country rock but broadly incorporates soul, R&B, blues rock, and heavy guitar sounds. The instrumental colors of each track are also highlights, such as the smooth vocals and Glenn Frey's guitar solo in 「I Can't Tell You Why」, the Joe Walsh and Don Felder talkbox guitar in 「Those Shoes」, and David Sanborn's alto saxophone in 「The Sad Café」. Although it was a major commercial success, critical reception at the time and afterward was mixed, making this a work where one can observe the late 1970s Eagles sound alongside the individualities of the members.
