Shout It Out Loudcast: Album Review Crew Episode 21 - "Hotel California"

Pantheon - Home of Music Podcasts

On 21st Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny are joined by SIOL family member, Murph to review the 1976 legendary album by The Eagles, "Hotel California." This is Zeus' pick and The Eagles 5th studio album and their first without founding member, Bernie Leadon, first with Joe Walsh and last with founding member Randy Meisner. The album went all the way to #1 in the United States and boasts, two #1 singles, Hotel California & New Kid In Town and two Grammy wins and one of the most beloved guitar solos. Hotel California is the third best selling album in the United States having sold 26 million copies. It also sold 32 million worldwide.

Hotel California catapulted The Eagles into unchartered territory for an American band having achieved unmatched success. The Eagles songwriting duo of Don Henley & Glenn Frey combined with The Eagles legendary group harmonies and the vocals of Don Henley, Randy Meisner & Glenn Frey, now had the two headed monster of guitar whiz, Don "Fingers" Felder & guitar hero & the "Crown Prince Of Rock." Joe Walsh. This may have been the best Eagles lineup and they created what many call, one of the greatest albums ever, where the deep cuts like, Victim Of Love, can compete with the classics like, Life In The Fast Lane.

As usual the guys breakdown the tracks and rank the songs. The boys, including Murph, then rank the album and album cover against the previous 19 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew Episodes.

So sit back and enjoy a super sized ARC episode that's ALMOST as good as the legendary Hotel California solo!
