Fine, straight covers of some classic tunes
By Andrew S. Rogers
Unlike some of the reviewers here, I don't consider the cover tracks on this album better than, or even quite as good as, the Eagles' originals. But most of them are, no question, good performances of some great original tunes.For all their California rock/pop-ness, the Eagles always had strong country influences in their sound (Don Henley himself has made reference to the band's "satanic-country-rock period" during the era of the "One of These Nights" album), and so adapting their songs to the vocal stylings of country singers isn't that big a stretch. The tracks on this tribute CD are pretty straightforward covers of some of their classics: in most cases, the track-length is within seconds of the Eagles' originals. Some of the versions have been "countried-up" a little, but even then they're pretty faithful to the originals.Personally, I think I was most impressed by Clint Black's "Desperado," Tanya Tucker's "Already Gone," and Travis Tritt's "Take it Easy." Suzy Bogguss did a fine job with "Take It to the Limit," but I missed the Eagles' tight harmonies on this one. For all Suzy's talent, I just don't think it sounds as good as a solo. And I wish they would have found someone to cover "Witchy Woman" or even "Hotel California." But you can't have everything.

Charity album succeeded beyond expectations
By Peter Durward Harris
This was something new in country music - a tribute album to which each invited star recorded one song, with the results going to charity. A lot of country singers of the nineties were fans of the Eagles and they enthusiastically joined in. The resulting album contains plenty of covers of their famous songs - indeed, nearly all the original versions of these songs can be found on greatest hits compilations by the Eagles. I've met people who listen to this more frequently than the originals.

So the song selection is mostly obvious with only Billy Dean doing something different, Saturday night being his choice, but all the performances are inspired. It seems that the singers and songs are well matched. My favorite here is Take it to the limit (Suzy Bogguss) but not by much. Every track is a real gem.

I only know of one previous cover of an Eagles song by any of the featured singers here, that being Tanya Tucker's version of Best of my love, which she recorded in the early seventies. Here she covers Already gone, leaving Best of my love to be covered this time by Brooks and Dunn.

This album was far more successful than anybody ever imagined possible, so tribute albums by various artists became a regular feature of country music, but this was the first of its kind and is still among the best.
