Day 57 of the countdown to the Eagles concert... My song for today is Try and Love Again from the Eagles fifth studio album Hotel California When youre out there on your own Where your memories can find you Like a circle goes around You were lost until you found out What it all comes down to Hotel California is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Eagles, released on Asylum in late 1976. It is the first Eagles album without the appearance of their founding member Bernie Leadon and their first album with guitarist Joe Walsh. It is also the last album featuring original bassist Randy Meisner. The album became the bands best-selling studio album, with over 16 million copies sold in the U.S. alone and over 32 million copies sold worldwide. The album topped the charts and won the band two Grammy awards for Hotel California and New Kid in Town. The album was nominated for Album of the Year but lost to Fleetwood Macs Rumours. The album yielded three Top 20 singles, New Kid in Town, Hotel California, and Life in the Fast Lane. New Kid in Town and Hotel California both topped the Billboard Hot 100, and Life in the Fast Lane reached number 11 on the charts. The album was ranked number 37 on Rolling Stone s list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album further established the group as the most successful American band of the decade, making the Eagles household names. The song Hotel California is considered by many to be one of the greatest rock songs of all time; it was ranked number 49 on Rolling Stone s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The guitar duet at the end of the song was performed by Don Felder and Joe Walsh. The album also features Wasted Time, Victim of Love, and The Last Resort.
