Return Of The Eagles

The Eagles are set to release their first studio album in 28(!) years at the end of this month.
Long Road Out Of Eden will be a double album of 20 tracks. While Hotel California and The Long Run leaned toward a harder sound, the sample clips available from Long Road Out Of Eden seem to be a return to the more laid back sound of earlier albums. One thing that does stand out is the group's harmony, always great, but on these tunes, somehow better. If you've ever seen the vocal warm up scene on the Eagles Farewell Tour I DVD, you'll know what I mean.
The tracks on Long Road Out Of Eden are not entirely new--no surprise when the album took some six years to produce. The first release from the album, "How Long," was released in August of this year, and several others ("No More Cloudy Days,""Fast Company," and "Do Something") showed up on special CD sold exclusively through Wal-Mart last year. Besides being available through the band's website, the album will again be exclusively sold by Wal-Mart and online at Musictoday.com. There's little doubt that the album will do well sales-wise because The Eagles still enjoy a huge following, but is there still a spot on the radio for this group that once dominated the airwaves?
