Randy Meisner [Eagles] - first solo album - [1978] torrent

Randy Meisner

It is no surprise that Randy Meisner\'s first solo album sounds a great deal like an offshoot of the Eagles work, as it was recorded not long after he quit after a six-year stint. The songs run between the extremes of fluid, guitar-driven rockers and ballads draped in flowing lyricism with harmony singing contributions from his one-time teenage bandmate Donny Ullstrom. Apart from a somewhat dullish rendition of \"Save the Last Dance for Me,\" the album works well, particularly a soulful and highly personalized rendition of \"Take It to the Limit.\"
Guitarists Jerry Swallow and Steve Edwards, pianist John Hobbs, bassist Kerry Morris, and drummer Kelly Shanahan make a good band, and Ernie Watts contributes a beautifully understated sax solo on \"I Really Want You Here Tonight.\" \"Every Other Day\" sounds like a lost Eagles number, and \"Heartsong\" lives up to its title, ending the album on a deeply introspective note.

Enjoy, please comment and seed.
