Selected Works 1972-1999 [4 CD Box Set]
This four-disc box set, including a deluxe 44-page book, takes the listener on a detailed tour of the Eagles' career.
One of the most successful American groups of the 1970s, the Eagles combined country-rock roots with the burgeoning L.A. soft-rock aesthetic that reigned inthe U.S. at the time. The artfully arranged Selected Works 1972-1999 moves from the early, earthy Take it Easy and Already Gone to the pure pop balladry of The Best of My Love, I Can't Tell You Why, and the roadhouse rock of Heartache Tonight and Life in the Fast Lane.
The unerringly infectious melodies and carefully constructed, tight-as-a-drum arrangements go a long way toward explaining why some regarded the Eagles as the 'American Beatles'. The live material included on the fourth disc offers an au natural glimpse of the band, revealing that they were solid even with all the studio polish stripped away.
