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 Eagles - Desperado - CD Review: great quality and price - I love this album, my old cd was worn out. Review: For all lovers of the Eagles music. - An excellent concept album by one of the great bands.

Brilliant album
An old 70's classic that I would rate on par with Hotel California.An eclectic mix and the digital remastering sounds good

Eagles at their best
What a great album, had this in my collection in some form or another ( VINYL, CD, & TAPE) but it's great to get it on Vinyl again, not a bad track on here.

Before they went Hollywood
Fans of Hotel California might be surprised at the country rock sounds on this earlier Eagles album. Bernie Leadon was still in the band and his bluegrass influence can be heard on a number of the songs, such as Twenty One, although there are also rock influences on Out of Control and Outlaw Man, and there's room for a very nice waltz too - Saturday Night - a recurring theme on Eagles albums with Take It To The Limit, Hollywood Waltz etc. Desperado dates from the era of concept albums, and the theme here is rock band as outlaws of the old West. As ever, the harmonies are superb, and don't forget the classic Desperado and Tequila Sunrise. Classic is an overused word but this is a classic album.

Great album with plenty of good songs.
One of their best albums I think although The Eagles never liked the production I think it sounds fine. It's got a couple of well known ones like Tequila Sunrise and Doolin Dalton but I love Randy Meisner's lesser known 'Certain Kind Of Fool'. This was a live favourite and definitely one of their best songs. The thing I love the most is the banjo stuff especially the Doolin Dalton instrumental which has guitar and banjo trading licks off one another. Although The Eagles weren't stadium rock material at this point I really like this earlier stuff.

One of the most influential records
Perfect. flawless craftsmanship, and organic choruses that practically jump out of the speakers on a mobile fidelity recording. Very much worth the price.
