Peaceful Easy Feeling: The Songs of Jack Tempchin
“This album, Peaceful Easy Feeling: The Songs of Jack Tempchin, is [my recordings of] all the songs I wrote with Glenn Frey, plus “Slow Dancing,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Already Gone.” For “Slow Dancing,” I recorded a duet version with Rita Coolidge, and we’ve filmed a video with the two of us singing on it.
Also on the album is “Soul Searchin’,” which I recorded with blues singer Janiva Magness. And then I recorded an acoustic version of “Already Gone” with my friends Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen. Chris, Herb and I also recorded a song called “It’s Your World Now,” which is on the last Eagles album they recorded (Long Road Out of Eden). I also did a song called “Privacy” which Glenn and I wrote, but no one’s heard before. We’re making a video of this song…
This was a great new opportunity—I’d never recorded any of these songs. It was challenging, but I think the album turned out great and I’m glad I did it. Also, by doing duets which I don’t normally do, it expanded me musically. So it was really a good thing.” – Jack Tempchin in Songwriter’s Universe

Eagles Soar at Hard Rock Stadium
local10.com
Eagles and Jimmy Buffett played live at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Saturday, April 21st.
So proud of Don Henley and Joe Walsh! Have seasoned the music over the years and the additions - Vince Gill and Decon Frey performed so well! Wonderful night
Have a ticket to see the Eagles on June 30th in Minneapolis. They are my all time favorite band. I'll be in section 309, hope I will be able to see them!!
Four months to go before we see them in Toronto, Canada! I can't wait!
My first Eagle’s concert in 1977 had Jimmy as the opening act.
It was a great concert!!!!
Would have loved to have been there for these 2 great acts moby
I would have loved seeing this.
It was Great 👍.
I was there!!!
Awesome.
I like this song. In an 1980's world, the reggae beat was popular, and while the mode and style was no stranger to Joe, I found the record like a breath of fresh air, when so many rockers were teasing their hair, wearing make-up, spandex, and catering to the MTV demographic stereo-type - white suburban girls 12-16 yrs. old, Joe stayed true to his own distinctive style.
Sometimes the craziest one is the voice of reason. He seemed to bring what the Eagles needed when they needed it and he can stand on his own as well. And a sense of humor or to boot!
Not just an ordinary musician. But one of the truest LEGENDS. To ever make music
I saw him do this a few times, but the coolest was a free concert on Ft Carson. I believed he is an ordinary a-ver-age guy! Thanks Joe!
Crazy Joe ! Eagles might be the most talented band of all time ! Even today's line up is stacked . Glenn , the Mr Cool of rock is so missed but Deacon sure sounds like Glenn 2.0 . Now nobody replaces Glenn but again his boy is doing great !
Joe’s a great compliment to the Eagles. Actually, I think he made the band what it is. Although I have never met him, he seems like a hand up guy. You have to admire that.
Cool. One year after he’d played on and produced it for New Zealand band Herbs. youtu.be/jDpqBLL4mKU
Not my favorite Joe Walsh tune, but it does paint a great picture of a dad in the 60s - 70s. Reminds me of my dad and Fred Flintstone
Mr. Tempchin, Thank You for sharing your music and for spotlighting the music of your many friends (who we all love as well). You are a selfless person in a self-serving society. Love, Hugs and Rock-n-Roll! ❤🎵
Now thats a really kool song , thanks for sharing Jack!
I’ve always loved this playful song!
Love "The Joe" can do no wrong. (y)
Hope it was all done Alphabetical order jack 🦅🎸🎸🦅
Joe would be fun to jam with I think
Thanks for sharing! Like the EAGLES 🦅
I love Joe Walsh.
Ordinary Joe

Kate Wolf’s affinity for the California coast is reflected in this new album of Mendocino concerts from 1979 to 1982.
I saw it. He was such a guy's guy. Reminds me of my oldest brother. Nothing he would rather do than sit around and shoot the breeze with a bunch of friends. Growing up with 4 older brothers and all their friends, maybe that's why I was so drawn to him. 😎
I love seeing Glenn as Glenn. He looked so good, so soon before we lost him. Still hard to accept. 🙁
Love D P & the Danettes, remember listening to this on radio. Was Glenn 😎 or what?
Again, sigh.....

See u in Portland,Jack!❤️
Hey jack love u rena from terre haute in
Hello
Alright alright alright well I didn't realize that this guy wrote one of my favorite songs written by Johnny Rivers swayin to the music cuz you're in the number of songs most Northerly Peaceful Easy Feeling and already gone by the Eagles and a lot of solo stuff by Glenn Frey putting Smuggler's Blues the Heat Is On You Belong To The City in that to know so I hear is why this is Jack Tim Sheehan
Brings back memories fron Owensboro Ky 🙂
Hi Jack
Who had that out, Johnny Rivers? I love the song. I should’ve known that you wrote it. I absolutely love your songs, Jack, 💙Thank you.
Just because Johnny Rivers had it out on an album doesn’t mean he wrote it. I’m pretty sure Jack wrote it.
That music is about how I'm feeling right now jack. Really sounds good ole friend
My very favorite Jack Tempchin song. Brings back lovely feelings.
Hi Jack! Would love to be there, Enjoy the evening!❤️
Hey Jack—Love your music—especially “Swaying to the music”
Sounds good jack I haven't been around in a while buddie
Thanks for the great songs! You went to the same high school as me!! Woo hoo!😜
Glad to hear ya Jack !! Don from Bakersfield ca.

Is it really the Eagles without Glenn Frey? Yes, but ...
al.com
Missing the late musician is simply part of the experience now, as the Eagles proved during an April 19 performance in Birmingham.
Saw them last Saturday in Orlando. Vince Gill was the very best choice for the Glenn Frey song's. It was as if they had all been playing together forever. One of the best live shows ever!!!
Many have come and gone. I personally prefer their original line up and their Country based rock sound. But they have evolved over the years and I can't complain but sometimes I still do! Life has been good to the Eagles so Far
They r trying to compare Glenn Frey’s son to Glenn himself, but doesn’t sound anything like him!
Best Replacement They Could Ever Have. Just my opinion.
Deacon sounds so much like his father. I will always miss Glenn's distinctive voice, but he left so much of himself with us.
It's so right that Deacon is there, it's like a little bit of Glenn!!!
It's a great time and grace to have blend son and Vince gill play I hope to see them in September !! I waited !!! Excited !🎺🎷🎹🎻🎶🎶🎵🎤🎸for some awesome music!! Real music! !!!and of course the rest of the eagles classics band!🎺🎷🎹🎻🎼🎶🎵🎤🎸🎤〽
I was there and they were fantastic! Bittersweet seeing Deacon who looks and sounds like Glenn, but of course he is not Glenn.
They are good as ever!! Deacon and Vince fit in beautifully..
Still one of the best BANDS ever 👍👍👍💖 seen them in concert myself
No it is not the real Eagles,they are now a thing of the past but the are still a great sounding band but will never be as good as the original Eagles ,,,that said their concert tickets are too damn high
Nope Better than most but not My Eagles
micheal twitty doesnt sound like conway eaither, and merles sons dont sound like dad either, not supposed to.i applaud all of them for keeping their fathers struff alive
My hometown. A great show - loved every second of it.... the memories and the music. It almost felt a bit somber until Joe’s set and then the energy increased. Overall, it was a very different feel without Glenn- a bittersweet night to be sure but a thrill to see them soar one more time.
Yes kinda. But Miss Glen. Things Change. Go with the flow. Still Love The EAGLES.
Just can't bring myself to think of the Eagles without Glenn. Replacements and substitutions may be fantastic artists but Glenn was Glenn.
I didn’t hear any drop off from their original sound. I have seen them many times and have never been disappointed.
Saw them in Chicago in March. Still great but you can tell Glenn is not there. Not the same Eagles but at least, they're still touring!!
I'm so glad the band is continuing to tour & make that beautiful music. The Eagles are my favorite band. Miss Glen but Vince & Glens son are perfect. You guys are great.
Saw them Tuesday night in Raleigh. Very good show. Vince & Deacon are great additions, but it is very different without Glenn. Would love to know who the young guitarist was who stayed in the background!
That's a hard one, he was my fav vocalist in the band ! God I miss him ! There's no doubt that the eagles were the best harmonising band in the world! Just lis to 7 bridges road. 2'nd best is the doobie brothers, hands down, & this is not 2 b disputed. Lol
I was there..they were incredible
I remember watching them pay tribute to Glen @ the Kennedy Center. These guys could do this in their sleep... You could tell that it was labored & from the heart. Not a dry eye in the house.
I see them in Dallas in June I can not wait
Did the Hell Freezes Over Tour. Still loving them!!!
I watched that show and thought it was one if not the best Dan Patrick Show ever.
"Hit songs are a by product of a good song and a good record". Dude is all over it IMO. Furthermore his legacy backs up the thought. Thanks for posting this, JT
Hearing Glenn mention the tour date in Austin, really brought back good memories. I was fortunate to have gone with my daughter to the last North American concert of the tour in San Antonio-Oct. 2014 and to the first of 2015 in May-Austin. No words to describe what being there was like. ❤️
That was a great interview with Glenn.
Rip Glenn Frey
Sigh.....
Excellent!
The Eagles in concert at Raleigh's PNC Arena
newsobserver.com
The Eagles featuring Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Deacon Frey and Vince Gill in concert at Raleigh, NC's PNC Arena Tuesday night, April 17, 2018.
I was there. . . outstanding! 2 1/2 hours of music, no breaks. The Eagles sound as good today as they did in 70s. Missed Glenn, but Vince Gill is a perfect fit.
The Best concert I've ever been to!!!! Loved it!!!
Orlando was amazing!!
It was amazing. Henley is still sexy and amazing crooning out best of my love, omg. And Joe Walsh still rocks with his guitar!! Love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕
I was at the Orlando show❤ can't believe it's been 40 years since they toured together❤ I was at their first tour together in Tampa 40 yrs ago at the old Sombrero Stadium ... that one was just a blur lol..... also saw the history of the Eagles tour in Tampa 2013.... Wish I could go to the one tonight in Miami !!! If you're going tonight have fun ❤
The first couple who hired me as a 12 year old babysitter wrote on FB and they had seen the show with Jimmy Buffet. They loved it! It just made me realize that as long as great performers perform, we will be in the crowds watching!
Birmingham was. AMAZING! Deacon Frey sounds so much like his daddy! Vince Gill is awesome, too! Best concert ever!
Love this. I wonder if Deacon has written any songs yet? X
What an awesome concert..loved it
Closer to me, Jack Tempchin..... sorry I missed it.
Will be there tonight in miami
I wish! #StuckInStL
Love you 😍Eagles
I’m jumping on a plane now 😂
Austin Fox you should have went!😝
