Product Description

With their easy-going country rock, The Eagles epitomized the laid-back style of Southern California during the 1970s. They sold millions of records and their album "California" is widely regarded as a soft rock classic. But behind the scenes all was not well, as the numerous changes in personnel testify. This biography of the group explores their comfortable image to present a portrait of disharmony, squabbles, and drug abuse, at the same time chronicling the success of their records and the day to day pressures that eventually broke up the band. In 1994 The Eagles reformed, generating millions of dollars in revenue as they toured the stadiums of the USA. This illustrated book contains a full discography.

Customer Reviews

Lame and inaccurate
This book was cobbled together from other sources--interviews and articles done by other people and stitched into what passes for a story of the band's career. It has very little that is new in it and contains several inaccuracies. If you are interested in knowing more about the band, read Marc Eliot's To The Limit or even Barney Hoskyn's Hotel California (which is about the whole Southern California scene rather than just The Eagles) This is a waste of money and barely worth reading.
