Performer: The Eagles (Rock)
Engineer: Bill Szymczyk; Allen Blazek; Michael Verdick; Michael Braunstein; Don Wood; Ed Mashal Producer: Bill Szymczyk Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: The Eagles: Bernie Leadon (vocals, electric & steel guitars, banjo, mandolin); Don Felder (vocals, electric & slide guitars); Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Randy Meisner (vocals, bass); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion). Recorded at Mac Emmerman's Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida. The Eagles (Rock): Bernie Leadon (vocals, guitar, steel guitar, banjo, mandolin); Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Don Felder, Randy Meisner (vocals, bass guitar); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion). Audio Remasterer: Ted Jensen. This marked the transition from a nifty country rock band to a rock combo with the potential for world domination. The music was a tad sweeter and less ironic, a morsel rockier with Top 40 friendliness. Tracks such as 'Take It To The Limit' and 'Lyin' Eyes' have been played far too much on the radio. They need to be rested in place of Bernie Leadon's unusual instrumental, 'Journey Of The Sorcerer' (used as the theme to BBC Television's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy), or the other great Leadon song, 'I Wish You Peace'. Financially, the Eagles never looked back after this, but the critical snipers were out in force.
Q (Magazine) (p.110) - "The Eagles' fourth album maneuvered the group away from their folk roots....ONE OF THESE NIGHTS was the Eagles' best yet."
Throughout the 1970s, the Eagles couldn't lose. Each record was bigger than the last; each single seemed to play all summer long. At the forefront of the country-rock movement, the Eagles also typified so-called soft-rock and album rock. Their masterpiece, HOTEL CALIFORNIA, effectively captured the decadence of drug-crazed '70s L.A., wrapped in hook-filled, easily digestible tunes. The members parted ways in the early '80s, and Don Henley and Glen Frey went on to high-profile solo careers. They reformed in the '90s for the inevitable, hugely successful reunion tour.
