I haven't posted any press lately, so to remedy that, here is a short review I jusr read from www.somethingelsereviews.com:

Long Road Out of Eden

The first release of all new songs by this major act in twenty-eight years clearly deserves an in-depth review. But my initial impression is that this is a record that plays to all their strengths: crisp songwriting by the Frey/Henley partnership ("I Love To Watch A Woman Dance" is drop dead gorgeous), simple but precise musicianship and gorgeous harmonies. In fact, the harmonies sound even better than during their heyday; we're talking CSNY good, people.

Just as Don Henley promised in his Billboard interview, this isn't a record that bothers in the least to follow any trend, it's unabashedly an Eagles record. Like another prominent seventies band who avoided creative fallout in the 80's and 90's simply by not releasing new material during that time, Eden looks poised to provide the Eagles a Steely Dan-style comeback. As Henley sings, "I've been waiting in the weeds," the Eagles seemed to be doing just that before springing their perfected blend of country, rock and folk on a public that's most likely ready to hear this kind of music again.

Thanks, DF! How good to read such a positive review, but a Frey/Henley partnership on ILTWAWD? Maybe he should read the liner notes properly. Nice to hear that someone else loves this song though.

Oh GEF - I love this song too!

[Mrs Henley]

Thank you DF!
And yes indeed, Glenn AND Don on "I Love To Watch A Woman Dance"?
I only hear Glenn singing. lol.

The writer thinks it is a writing collaboration, not a shared vocal.

However, as to it being 'drop dead gorgeous' - hallelujah. The song has been unfairly maligned. I cannot say enough about how much I love it.

Well, I am always glad to pass on positive press about our guys, but ILTWAWD and Fast Company are my LEAST favorite songs on the album.

Ah OK, my mistake!
I like the song, the lyric..only Glenn sings a little weird..but that's what I think of it.

And Fast Company is a great one, only Don's voice isn't "yeeh" on the track!

IMHO:

ILTWAWD - powerful romance.

Fast Company - falsetto folly.

Thanks for that lovely positive review, DF and even if the author is a little awry on ILTWAWD, his heart is in the right place. It was like a breath of fresh air after all the wishy washy concert reviews.
