Finishing up the second half of the Eagles' Desperado album, all through this episode Engineer Ken Stanley and I will try to point out a lot of the similarities between the Outlaw and the Rock Star.
Far more than you might expect!
Take a listen to Outlaw Man, and the regrets of Saturday Night.
All things considered, the Desperado album works as a concept, and simply as a damn good listen!
Funny, but back in those days, the people at the station wanted me to talk more- so if I seem wordy that's why- while I always wanted to play as much Music as I could fit in.
And remember, this was broadcast on November 6, 2006, and that was, like yesterday, an Election Day.
So to take us out, I played an old forgotten ditty by Steve Goodman, joined on piano and backup vocals by a fellow named Bob Dylan.
I hope this show was informative and enjoyable, it was fun for me.

Very cool, short instrumental to kick it off.
Outlaw Man is pure Southern Rock. I could easily hear Blackfoot doing this song with an extended guitar outro. Love the little tempo change. The bass guitar is lights out during this part.
Best song on side two is Bitter Creek. Or maybe Outlaw man. Or Maybe the reprise, can't make up my mind.
Yeah, no. Maybe for a buck.
GET IT!
You had hair?
So, did you fight the authority by reading the album review to get more talk? I always thought it was more rock, less talk. Sometimes people in charge are dumb.
Now I can say I have heard all of "Desperado", and it's not too bad. I don't know if I'll ever pick it up though. I have enough music. But there's never enough so I'm in a quandary.
Put it in the books!
