"Eagles: Every Album, Every Song"/John Van der Kiste [Episode 127]

John Van der Kiste is on the podcast to talk about his brand new book<i> Eagles: Every Album, Every Song</i>. As part of Sonicbond Publishing’s On Track series, this book covers the one of the best selling bands in music history.<br /><br />Between 1972 and 1979, the Eagles soared to the top of the charts four times. A total of five number one singles, 18 singles reaching the top 40. Their 1976 album <i>Hotel California</i> has gone on to sell 26 million copies while <i>Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)</i> went on to become the highest selling album of the 20th century in the US with 26 million copies sold by 1999. In 2023, the number of copies sold is now up to 38 million. In 1994, the reunited Eagles released the live album <i>Hell Freezes Over</i>, which shot straight to #1 and has sold 9 million copies. Their 2007 seven-times platinum selling studio album <i>Long Road Out of Eden</i> would put the band back on the top of the charts once more thanks to five consecutive Top 40 singles on the adult contemporary charts. After the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016, the trio of Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit recruited Glenn’s son Deacon and Vince Gill and continued to perform the band’s iconic songs covered in this book by Van der Kiste. He details every track on each studio and live album along with originals and cover versions recorded by the band but never officially released.<br /><br />Purchase a copy of <i>Eagles: Every Album, Every Song</i> in the US through Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eagles-every-album-song-track/dp/1789522609" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> <br /><br />Purchase a copy of <i>Eagles: Every Album, Every Song</i> in the UK through Burning Shed <a href="https://burningshed.com/john-van-der-kiste_eagles-on-track_book" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a><br /><br />Follow John Van der Kiste on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/john.vanderkiste" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a><br /><br />Listen to a pl
