John Van der Kiste is on the podcast to talk about his brand new book Eagles: Every Album, Every Song. As part of Sonicbond Publishing’s On Track series, this book covers the one of the best selling bands in music history.Between 1972 and 1979, the Eagles soared to the top of the charts four times. A total of five number one singles, 18 singles reaching the top 40. Their 1976 album Hotel California has gone on to sell 26 million copies while Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) went on to become the highest selling album of the 20th century in the US with 26 million copies sold by 1999. In 2023, the number of copies sold is now up to 38 million. In 1994, the reunited Eagles released the live album Hell Freezes Over, which shot straight to #1 and has sold 9 million copies. Their 2007 seven-times platinum selling studio album Long Road Out of Eden would put the band back on the top of the charts once more thanks to five consecutive Top 40 singles on the adult contemporary charts. After the death of founding member Glenn Frey in 2016, the trio of Don Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit recruited Glenn’s son Deacon and Vince Gill and continued to perform the band’s iconic songs covered in this book by Van der Kiste. He details every track on each studio and live album along with originals and cover versions recorded by the band but never officially released.Purchase a copy of Eagles: Every Album, Every Song in the US through Amazon HERE Purchase a copy of Eagles: Every Album, Every Song in the UK through Burning Shed HEREListen to a playlist of the music discussed in this episode HERE Visit the Booked On Rock Website HERE https://www.bookedonrock.com Watch exclusive video segments from the Booked On Rock podcast HERE Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:FACEBOOK TWITTER INSTAGRAM TIKTOK Support Your Local Bookstore!
