Desperate

An album by the Eagles ? That's way down on street credibility isn't it ? Well, probably but I'll stand by Desperado as the one album that holds up. Recorded by the original band line up before LA excess kicked in, it's a genuine concept album but one that relies strictly on songs and music and not on gimmicks. A story unfolds and you can see the western movie play out in your head. Tuneful, fine harmonies, well played, brief enough not to outstay its' welcome. Like today's post !
