Critic Reviews
The second Eagles' album with a collection of eleven songs seems a bit imbalanced to me because single songs are weird different and I cannot identify a musical golden thread despite the lyrics are about the Old West. If one compares the successive songs "Out of Control" with "Tequila Sunrise" or even the first with "Desperado", one will probably understand that. Nevertheless there are some remarkable songs:
Doolin-Dalton
Tequila Sunrise
Desperado
Outlaw Man
It has some lovely tracks like Doolin-Dalton and the title track Desperado, but just because they are good tracks doesn't mean they need to be on the album three different times like Doolin-Dalton was in various forms. Aside from that repetition it is a pretty good country rock record that really captures a specific dusty and lonesome atmosphere.
This is the album where Don Henley begins to assert his dominance and you feel it.
