Desperado – Eagles (Vinyl 12" LP)

Released in 1973, Desperado is the second studio album by the Eagles and one of the earliest examples of a concept album in country rock. Inspired by themes of the Old West and the outlaw lifestyle, the record paints a cinematic portrait of anti-heroes and emotional isolation. Produced by Glyn Johns and featuring arrangements by Jim Ed Norman, Desperado marked a significant step forward in the band's songwriting depth, particularly through the collaboration of Glenn Frey and Don Henley.

Key Highlights

- Features classic tracks such as Tequila Sunrise, Outlaw Man, and the haunting title ballad Desperado
- A country rock concept album loosely themed around Wild West outlaws and American mythology
- Produced by legendary engineer Glyn Johns, known for his work with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin
- Often reissued on high-grade 180g vinyl for enhanced analogue warmth
- Noted for its lush string arrangements and tighter focus on narrative lyricism
