You Heard it Here First: October 30th for New Eagles Album
We just got back from the Henley concert. We'll type more tomorow because we're kind of zonked out after drinking mojitos in the bar while sitting next to James Gandolfini (and some other Sopranos dudes).
Anyway....Don announced at the show that the new Eagles album will be out on October 30th. Let the celebrating and bitching begin......

Glad to hear it finally has a date. Think about it -- the first new studio album since The Long Run in 1979! Can't wait to hear how it came out (and hope that "Hole In The World" is not an indication of the direction this album is headed).

I have mixed feelings about a new Eagles album.
I LOVED "The Long Run" and thought it was the perfect album to be their last as a studio release. Dark, deep and brooding with flashes euphoria and brilliance. I just feeling this new one will be nothing but disappointing.

Eagles Prepping New Studio Album, Tour
The Eagles
July 31, 2007, 10:30 AM ET
Gary Graff, Detroit
The Eagles are planning to take flight with a long-awaited new album and a tour. Guitarist Joe Walsh tells Billboard.com that the album -- the Eagles' first full-length studio set since "The Long Run" in 1979 -- is "almost out. We're just finishing vocals and mixing it. We're all finally signing off on it."
Walsh says that all of the band members -- himself, Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Timothy B. Schmit -- wrote songs for the album, which he says "go in some really, really new, different directions. It's hard to compare to anything that I hear out there now." For his songs, however, Walsh "went rock'n’roll," including one "extended" track with "a middle full of guitar statement" and another that's "full-on rock'n'roll. I didn't want us to be too ballad-y here. We need some stuff we can play live, so I made sure there was that element in the record."
Walsh says the band, which took this year off the road to hunker down on the album, plans to tour extensively in 2008.
The guitarist is hardly sitting at home, however. Though he's put the James Gang on ice until he has more time to dedicate to it, he's playing 13 solo shows in the next month, beginning tonight (July 31) in Saratoga, Calif. Walsh has recruited a band of well-credentialed young players such as Gia Ciambotti (Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams) and Drew Hester (Lisa Marie Presley, Foo Fighters), who he says "are really kicking me in the pants."
"I love the energy and the attitude of a younger band, especially on stage," Walsh says. "I'm less cautious and less ... professional, I guess. I just like to rock'n'roll, and they're making me want to do it more."
Walsh adds that he's jonesing a bit to do some solo recording again but, not surprisingly, says, "I don't think I would cancel being an Eagle and resurface with a solo career. I love being in the Eagles, and we're not really done yet."

TomOpus - I also loved The Long Run. It's actually has some of my favs by them - Those Shoes and In The City come to mind. Will get this for sure on release day even if I do have to go to a damn Wally World for it.

I want to personally thanks these old farts for instituting the jacking up of prices to all rock concerts when they first reunited.

Don Henley Talks New Eagles LP
When the Eagles last got back together it was 1994, and Don Henley shared his sentiments with the world by naming their live album Hell Freezes Over. Now we’re two short months from a new Eagles album — their first studio release in twenty-eight years – only this time, Henley saw it coming. Performing at one of his West Coast solo dates in Primm, Nevada, on Saturday, the Eagles drummer delivered a powerful two-hour set on guitar, playing some obligatory hits (“Boys of Summer,” “All She Wants to Do Is Dance”) and other unexpected favorites, including an acoustic “The End of the Innocence” and mesmerizing “Hotel California.”
Backstage before the show, Henley also talked openly for the first time about the new Eagles disc (slated to hit stores in October) as they prepare for their only six performances of 2007 — two of which will take place October 18th and 20th at the premiere of the new Nokia Theater L.A. Live. “They say everything in life is a matter of timing,” Henley said. “And the time seems right for us to do this.” Henley explained that other pursuits — including raising their children and working on their solo careers — have kept the Eagles from “doing this” sooner. “I think it’s okay to go away for a while,” he explained. “We’ve had some conflict within the group, and in terms of songwriting and recording, we just didn’t feel like it up until now.”
The disc they will release in October, tentatively titled Long Road Out of Eden, has finally brought the group back to the studio. Recorded over the last few years in an undisclosed L.A. studio, Henley confirmed that the album will be distributed exclusively through Wal-Mart for the first twelve months. “People will be getting value for their money,” Henley said. The band recorded around twenty songs for the effort.
The Eagles, who have had one of the fiercest love/hate relationships in rock & roll, broke up in 1981. (One infamous conflict that led to the split came in 1980; while onstage at a concert in Long Beach, California, Glenn Frey and Don Felder allegedly spent the night threatening to kick each other’s asses backstage.) “It may never be like it was in the past,” Henley said, but he’s proud to be part of “a band who knows when to sit one out … creatively, it was our time to get back in the studio,” he added.

I'm surprised that it'll be a Wal-Mart exclusive. They must have worked out a really sweet exclusive deal. Still, seeing how those Garth Brooks albums sat on the shelves until they hit the discount bin, I wonder if they'll take a sales hit with this.
I couldn't make Don Henley's Primm show, but I've got very nice seats for the Vegas show at the Phantom theater in The Venitian on 9/15. I'll post here if he plays any new material at the show.

New single is out today. It's called How Long, written by JD Souther. They used to cover this live back in the 70s before they had a catalog of material to work with. The video is supposed to be on Yahoo! at 12 midnight ET next Monday.
Also starting Monday, you can also pre-order the album at eaglesband.com and get a free download of How Long.

Thanks for the link, I like the new single. I think it was a good idea to dip back into the early JD Souther material. It would also have been a nice idea to have Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt do some guest vocal appearances on the album as a nod to history.

Wow, it's a double album! Really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, my Henley Vegas show got cancelled which really sucked since I had front-row Mezzanine seats.

Have you heard it? It reeks of Already Gone musically. So its country with a really really nice rock aftertaste. Walsh kills it on guitar (but what's new?)

Cool. Thanks for the info. Guess I'm have to make my way to Wal-Mart on 10/30.
Question for the Eagles aficionados out there, how well does Henley play the guitar? I never knew he played guitar, or is this something he has been doing recently?

Oh, I've heard it, alright. I like the Eagles stuff quite well, especially with Walsh, but I really hate the new song. WAAAAAYYYYY too country-sounding. They'd progressed to a much more "rock" style when they last released new product, and I don't like this "regressive" sound.
