"Twenty-one" is Flying Burrito Brothers-style country-rock, "Out of Control" is amped-up blues-rock, whereas the title track is a plaintive, melancholic piano ballad (abetted by a string section). Don Henley plays a bigger part on DESPERADO, lending vocals and co-writing much of the material, including the opener "Doolin Dalton" and the lazy, beautiful "Tequila Sunrise," the record's single. The Eagles' sophomore album showed them developing their signature style, and achieving the radio-friendly sheen they would refine over the next two albums, then perfect on 1976's HOTEL CALIFORNIA.
The Eagles' excellent debut indicated that they were quickly on their way to becoming one of America's leading country-rock acts. DESPERADO, their second release, ostensibly a concept album about an outlaw figure of the Old West, furthered their claim. Recorded in London under the aegis of Glyn Johns, the set was marked by the quartet's highly measured playing, distinctive, high-flown harmonies, and accessible folk and country-flavored pop-rock. DEPERADO may not be as cohesive as its predecessor, but the different styles it encompasses mirror the Eagles' many strengths.
Eagles: Bernie Leadon (vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin); Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar, piano); Randy Meisner (vocals, bass instrument); Don Henley (vocals, drums).
Rolling Stone (1/10/73, p.55) - "...a unified set of songs...with their second consecutive job well done, the Eagles are on a winning streak..."

Given the extraordinary amount of airplay HOTEL CALIFORNIA garnered in the mid-70s and early '80s, it comes as quite a surprise to hear how fresh this recording sounds on DCC's 24k gold disc version. Familiar tracks benefit from the enhanced soundstage and control room-clarity ...

The title track finds the band flirting with the disco-funk sound they would pursue further on their subsequent album ONE OF THESE NIGHTS. "The Best of My Love" is the kind of flawlessly constructed '70s radio staple for which the term soft-rock was invented. The band's cover ...

Don Henley's slinky, eerie "Witchy Woman" is another highlight, as is the languid, lovely "Peaceful, Easy Feeling" (both tracks appeared on THEIR GREATEST HITS 1971-1975, along with "Take It Easy"). But ...
| | Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced? CD (1967)
Desperado CD music
$9.49
This 1997 reissue of ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? is a remastered version that restores the original LP's track order and album artwork. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED? was previously reissued in 1993 (MCA 10893) with new cover art and a new 17-track running order that included all the songs on either the U.S. or U.K. versions of the original LP. That version is now out of print, and has been replaced by this one, on the Experience Hendrix label, which features remastered versions of the same 17 songs, this time in the order they appeared on the original American LP, with the extra tracks added to the end (a separate version was simultaneously released in the U.K., featuring the same songs but in the original British track order). The Experience Hendrix label is controlled by Hendrix's family.
The 1997 reissue also adds a 24-page booklet with previously-unpublished photos, the original LP liner notes and song lyrics.
Recorded in late 1966 and early 1967 at Olympic ...

| | Mollie's Mix CD (2003)
Desperado CD music
$5.89
Intended as an introduction to the label, Mollie's Mix collects representative tracks from each Kill Rock Stars artist and presents them in an economical format -- in this case, for the low price of five dollars. Included in the collection are current and recent Kill Rock Stars artists, as well as new additions to the label family. From the latter category, most interesting might be Jeff Hanson, a Minneapolis songwriter who started the band m.I.J. before embarking on a solo career. Hanson was signed to Kill Rock Stars solely on the strength of his demo, which rarely happens at the tastemaking Olympia, WA, label. And the music? Hanson's pleasant "Just Like Me" suggests Elliott Smith on a helium jag. Elsewhere, there's a double shot of electro-pop in the form of Berlin-based Stereo Total (the robotic, bopping "Kleptomane") and a demo version of Gravy Train!!!!'s "Titties Bounce." Owl & the Pussycat is a collaboration between Greg Moore and Lois; "Blinds," their sparkling duet, is perfect for romantic mix tapes. Bangs' ...

Desperado music CDs
$13.15
David Wojciechowski and his fellow light-sleepers in the Insomniacs aren't offering anything strikingly new and different on 2004's Switched On!, but in the great tradition of "it's not what you do, it's how you do it," their blend of garage rock swagger and power pop jangle still sounds fresh and full-bodied, and ...
| | Erin McKeown Sing You Sinners CD (2007)
Desperado songs
$13.25
With the rise of the Hollywood extravaganza and the ensuing decline of vaudeville, American music lost much of its kick and joie de vivre. However, with her album Sing You Sinners, Erin McKeown sets forth to single-handedly resurrect the wayward cast-offs of Americana and return them to center stage, but with a sparkle and humor that is a poignant reminder of an age long gone.
Today, "Get Happy" is probably the best known song on the set, famously delivered onscreen by Judy Garland, but McKeown and her backing trio, further buttressed by a horn section, turn the song inside out, threading it through myriad musical styles, from its champagne piano intro across the shifting sands of jazz, into R&B and rock & roll, and out into '60s surf. In just over three minutes, "Get Happy" gleefully dances its way through three decades of music styles. "Paper Moon" is an equal classic, but now shines over the Caribbean in its new reggae-fied calypso gladrags. And of course, jazz fans will instantly recognize Fats Waller's "If You a Viper," but McKeown's vampish version is built around not piano, but her banjo and a walking bassline. Anita O'Day's "Thanks for the Boogie Ride" rode off in big band style; in contrast, McKeown drives it straight into rockabilly. Cole Porter's elegant "Just One of Those Things" now ebbs and flows between moody jazz, darkly ambient Bristol Sound (à la Massive Attack), and brooding surf. McKeown herself contributes one song to the set, "Melody," an exuberant, ragtime rave-up dedicated to the glories of melody itself. And ...
| | Tyr Floreen Wash Your Blues Away CD (2009)
Desperado album
$15.19
Tyr Floreen was born in Philadelphia, PA. and now resides in Fleetwood PA. He received his B.F.A in related arts from Kutztown University and was a student of famed session guitarist and former member of Fleetwood Mac, Rick Vito. Upon reflection, he remembers being upset that his mother bought him a ukulele for his fifth birthday ( He wanted a real 6 string guitar ) and finally - after what seemed like an eternity - He received one at age 7. He was only 5 years old when The Beatles hit the scene in 1963 but was completely smitten by them and has been ever since. Although still a youngster, he soon developed a fanatical ...
