The Long Run closed out the first chapter of the Eagles story in 1979, and this CD edition brings back a record made under enormous pressure that still glides with West Coast cool.
Following Hotel California was never going to be easy. The band spent long, gruelling months in the studio with producer Bill Szymczyk, chasing perfection while tensions simmered beneath the surface. It turned out to be their last studio album for nearly three decades, and that sense of an era ending hangs over the whole thing.
Yet the music rarely sounds strained. Heartache Tonight stomps along on handclaps and a rowdy, doo-wop-flavoured swagger, while the title track rides a loose, soulful groove that wears its rhythm and blues influence proudly. I Can't Tell You Why introduced Timothy B. Schmit's silky falsetto as a lead voice, a smooth, late-night ballad that became one of their most beloved moments.
The album closes with The Sad Cafe, a reflective, saxophone-kissed farewell to the Los Angeles scene that made them, as wistful as anything Don Henley and Glenn Frey ever wrote together.
Glossy, knowing and tinged with melancholy, The Long Run captures a great band in its final golden hours, still sounding effortlessly in command of its craft.
