MDEW Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Rest in Peace Glenn............ "Take it Easy" was the first real song I learned to play Lead, Rhythm, and Bass Guitar and sing. (Don't hold it agaist him.) Another Star added to the Angel Band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I only found out on the way home when a dj mentioned it and launched into an Eagles marathon. And of course, "Smuggler's Blues," one of my favorites. His bandmate, Henley, still lives in Dallas, where he is from and is still doing well, so that is good. But I am thankful for having the music and genius of the Eagles and all the bit part players. From Joe Walsh to Jackson Browne. And the softer and yet more analytical sound of Frey's songcraft. Coming home, doing about .8 Mach up US 75 singing "the politics of contraband, that's the smuggler's blues ..." Just as fresh as the first time I heard it. Bless you and your family, Glenn Frey and thank you for sharing with us your craft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosa Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I love many of Eagles' songs, but I didn't know them at all, as in who sings which song. Reading about it, New Kid in Town is one of my favs, this one too (a young Glenn Frey singing here): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
