Disc 1 is by far my favorite, it is classic Eagles and exactly what you expect. I particularly like the Henley songs on this disc. The standout to me is "Busy Being Fabulous" the chorus of which is almost too catchy. The other great track is his "Waiting In The Weeds". Had there only been the one disc I would have considered this a good buy for $11.88, but there is a second disc. I don't like this disc as much. Just as disc 1 tries very hard (and succeeds) at being classic Eagles, this disc seeks to be more political and serious in tone. There are some good songs on disc 2, but the whole tone just isn't my cup of tea. I had similar feelings when some versions of Jim's songs tried to get into the whole war commentary & it just did not fit for me. I have had disc 1 in my cd player constantly while disc 2 rarely leaves the sleeve - which by the way is very cheaply made but what do you expect from a 2 disc set that is under 12 bucks. All in all a very good effort. Almost all of the cd's I buy anymore are by the older artists, so my purchases get more and more infrequent. I wish we could get at least one disc of new Steinman material from somebody, I wasn't thrilled with Dream Engine but I'd settle for that. It's a shame they recorded all that material and nobody knows if it is ever coming out. I used to play some off their myspace but could never get them on mp3's so I got tired of streaming off myspace if anyone has the mp3's please email me. | |
