When I lived in San Antonio, my mom, with her Southeast Texas accent, pronounced it San-TONE-ya, but I've never, ever, in real life heard someone call it San Antone. Only in songs.

Classic!  I love the Eagles.  This may not be their best song, but it is the Eagles, so I have to comment!

This was one of my most favorite CDs from the Eagles. I love "Already Gone" and I have a story in the beginning stages, using that song as the closing segment, with two beefed-up Camaros (or other metal-cars) zooming into the horizon on a long, straight stretch of vacant two-lane highway in Nevada, with the camera on the center line, facing the sunset as they race past, side by side. The story itself is undeveloped, but I can't hear "Already Gone" without seeing exactly what I'd love a movie to be.  And "Midnight Flyer" would be on the soundtrack, too, except I haven't figured out where to put it yet...

I love The Eagles' early stuff.{#Daisy}{#Sunny}

"My Man" is most excellent.

I always thought this was New Riders of the Purple Sage. 

Or Loggins and Messina.

Or some such.

I like it. Plus it's different than their usual stuff heard 10,000 times a day on public radio.

That bass line is so "smokey and the Bandit". And not in a cool kinda retro way either. More of a "uh, that hillbilly just spit tabacco on my shoe" kinda retro.

Unfortunately they've made a gazillion dollars off this mindless pap. Doesn't say much for musical tastes in North America. Speaks volumes for marketing and main-stream radio though!

can't wait for the new Eagles album. Maybe stewing in their juices for a few years may have helped them write good music. NOT!:puke:

I have the tape, but I haven't listened to it in a long time.


The song is 'My Man'. The first three Eagles albums are classics. After that, well, the less said the better.

I didn't know this was an Eagles song. I thought this was a group of escapees from Hee Haw.

Well, they started out--mostly lead by Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner--as a country-rock band, but Frey's and Henley's rock tendencies gained the upper hand. Saw a clip of them years ago backing Linda Rondstadt singing "Silver Threads and Golden Needles." Amazing pure country band.


Actually, as I understand it, the record company was trying to MAKE them into a country band, but they really wanted to rock.

These guys are good musicians. Whether you like them or not is strictly a "musical taste" thing. No one can fault them for not being able to play and sing well.

Their first 3 albums are pretty country and bluegrass tinged....

I loved them through "One of These Nights", then they just got boringly commercial, IMHO.

Between that and the piece of their's that became the lead-in to the Hitchhiker's Guide series, I really should listen to their older stuff more.
