ReviewsAmerican Songwriter - [...] more than just the factual recounting of the most commercially successful band of its time, this is the saga of an enthralling period in American music. It's filled with all the excesses, triumphs, internal struggles and ultimately enduring music that can fit into one relatively compact span from 1972-1980.

Additional InformationDon Henley and Glenn Frey were a pair of journeyman musicians -- the former from Texas, the latter from Michigan -- who had been knocking around the Los Angeles music scene for a few years when they were hired to play in Linda Ronstadt's backing band. In 1971, they teamed up with two fellow members of Ronstadt's band, Randy Mesiner and Bernie Leadon, and signed a record deal with a new label being launched on the West Coast, with no inkling that by the end of the decade, they would be one of the biggest American bands of all time. The Eagles would go on to record two of the biggest selling albums of the 20th Century (HOTEL CALIFORNIA and their Greatest Hits 1971-1975), redefine the trademark Los Angeles soft rock sound, and create a body of work that became an apt soundtrack for a nation looking to feel good again after the turmoil of the 1960s. Filmmaker Alison Ellwood offers an in-depth look at the early days of the Eagles and their rise to fame in the documentary HISTORY OF THE EAGLES, which combines new interviews with the group's members and their associates, vintage photographs, and rare performance footage to tell the story of a band that came to define their time.
