The Eagles formed in 1971 and released their self-titled debut album, Eagles, which was an immediate success. Over the next eight years, they released five more albums and many chart-topping hits. They broke up in 1980 but reunited 14 years later to release Hell Freezes Over, which shot to #1 on the Billboard album chart.
About the Song: One of many Eagles songs about love, Lyin’ Eyes is about a married woman finding comfort in another man’s arms. While it may not be the most positive subject, the vocal harmonizing shines on this song. The song hit #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #8 on Billboard’s Country chart.
About the Song: Songwriter, Steve Young, wrote the lyrics to this song after taking a drive down an Alabama country road one evening in 1969. A few other musicians had covered it before the Eagles gave it some wings.
