Permit me a final thought about the Eagles new album. After posting last night I came across a “Rolling Stone” review of the Eagles’ latest work. If the one song I heard on “Long Road Out of Eden” had a familiar sound — other than the fact it was done by the Eagles — it is because “How Long” was penned by frequent Eagles songwriting contributor J.D. Souther. It turns out the song was as the review put it a: ” previously unrecorded relic of the group’s early-Seventies live sets.”
The old old is the new new. Or is it the new old is the old new? I always get those mixed up.
