THE REVIEW

I start this review by saying that the Eagles are undoubtedly the best Folk group of all time for me.

This is certainly proven by this splendid album "Desperado," second only to "Hotel California."

(Duration) The CD is filled with 11 tracks for a (certainly not thrilling) duration of 36 minutes.
(Equipment) All the songs are obviously played with classical guitars, mandolins, banjos, etc., etc. (Quality) All the songs are very beautiful, including the famous "Tequila Sunrise" and "Desperado" (you'll surely recognize them).

The CD, which is certainly not long, should be listened to for studying, for reading a book, for playing cards, but certainly not for jumping from one bed to another like madmen doing fake solos with a fake guitar. In short, "Desperado" should be listened to calmly by calm people like the Eagles.

Report Card
-(Duration 2/5)

 "The atmospheres are evocative, the dust, the horses, the scent of the wood of a saloon... seem to come out of the record."

 "'Desperado' is a wistful ballad entrusted to Henley’s voice, a classic that many have reinterpreted but never matched in beauty."


By hellraiser

 "'Desperado' is a beautiful and well-played album, where the perfectionist mania of the Henley-Frey duo is noticeable."

 "One of the best moments of the work is the following 'Desperado,' a song of hope where the protagonist is a man wounded by past love experiences and who fears loving again."
