Right before the DESPERADO album was released, a New York fm radio station started playing songs from it a few at a time. The first ones I heard were "Certain Kind Of Fool" and "Outlaw Man." My remembrance of that initial listening experience was one of disappointment as they didn't strike me anywhere near as catchy as most of the songs on the first album. However, that assessment lasted until I got my hands on the album and played it non-stop for weeks. To this day, DESPERADO remains my favorite of all the Eagles albums. It has a sound and approach different from all the others and despite it's lack of any significant chart single, the songs are just amazing across the board.
