This is the second annual Roctober Mewsic Festival hosted by Mary from Jingle Jangle Jungle and I’m happy to join along with her in the fun.
I always considered myself a soft rock to middle of the road rock gal but in the last 10 years, I realized that my rock n’ roll roots lean a little heavier and harder than I first thought. This month, I’m revisiting some of the classic 70s bands that I loved as a preteen/teenager and you’re welcome to come along for the ride.
Today, I’m killing two birds with one stone so-to-speak no pun intended but it sure makes for great use of the phrase considering my playlist consists of songs pinned or co-authored by Don Henley (drummer…I knew there was a reason I liked this guy) while with the Eagles in the 70s.
Unfortunately the link no longer works but the playlist included these tracks:
- Witchy Woman (1972)
- Desperado (1973)
- Tequila Sunrise (1973)
- The Best of My Love (1974)
- Lyin’ Eyes (1975)
- Take It To The Limit (1975)
- One of These Nights (1975)
- Hotel California (1977)
- Heartache Tonight (1979)
- I Can’t Tell You Why (1979)
The Eagles broke up in 1980 but have gotten together for reunion tours. The group produced some mega-hits as a collective body and many of the band members did well solo, like Henley or Eagle’s late founding member, Glen Fry (2016) whose mewsic I remember from the 80s.
It’s the weekend and weekends mean I’m MIA in Blogosphere but do join me a little later in the morning for Friday’s Fun Stuff edition.
