The Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden

Picked up the new Eagles CD the other week. It was one of those only at Walmart $11.88 deals. It is 20 original studio songs by the original band guys. It is the best $12 I have spent in many a year. It is visually and musically and lyrically and incredible piece of work. The lyrics are powerful, the music is off the charts and even the artwork on the cover and booklet is amazing. This CD reminds you of why the Eagles are one of the best vocal bands ever!!! The vocals are so tight and right on.

I have literally listened to it 50 times already. There are (as is always the case) one or two songs that do not really hit it, but out of the 20 . . . there are 17 at least that knock your socks off.
