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

The Eagles' Saturday concert at San Diego's Petco Park found the revamped band soaring to new heights.
Jack--Who was the drummer when Henley wasn't playing?? Btw, I also think the band should have recognized you...SD ties and all!
sure wish I could see them again. in Toronto or Ceasars in Windsor.
Watching Deacon sing Peaceful Easy Feeling after saying "Here is one my dad used to sing", gave me a lump in my throat. Unforgettable moment ♡
When I saw him in Philly, he really blew me away. He makes it look so “easy”. Love Peaceful Easy Feeling!!
I will always Love and Miss GLENN💕FOREVER.
It was an awesome concert. I would have loved alittle more Glenn memories❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was a beautiful moment. I was sure you were going to be there also😉 Love the song, loved Glenn and loved Deacon singing it! ❤️
I got to see my all time favorite band since 1974 in San Francisco at AT&T Park last Thursday night. Lol, and I live in TN. I was there with old Cali friends from 1977. And Jack, you have always been an old friend of mine as well. For years and years I’ve seen your name on lyrics in my guitar books. You’re from my childhood too. Like a family member. But often wondered “who is this guy Tempchin?” And now I know you more. Oh cool is your experience you had at this show 💜 I love hearing about it
Saw them in Tulsa. Devon was awesome but not the same when his dad was alive. Vince Gill is not an Eagle or a Glen Fry. Thank goodness was able to see the original before Glen passed.
That’s awesome , hi jack I’m a San Diego girl as well .🎶🎶🎶 San Diego loves the eagles 🦅
Beautiful, well-deserved moment, Jack! 👍🏼
LOVE YOUR SONGS JACK. THEY ARE TRULY TIMELESS.
Fantastic article! A must read if your a Eagles fan. 👍🏻
the Eagles for the best
They are the best.
Wish I could have been there 🎼🎶❤️🎸🎸
Great moment!!
Omg. My favorite song.
Gotta give you goosebumps
That has to be a thrill !!!
I’d love to see Billy and Don collaborate on an album!
Great interview! So sorry I missed this event in NYC. Billy said he was nervous, but I think it was Don!
Two of the best!
Fun and amazing interview with two great men of our generation
40+ years of great music and still selling out stadiums.
A big hello Mr. Jack Tempchin my favorite song is Peace Easy Feeling
Great concert not one seat was vacant, the boys did Great, Deacon was amazing !!!
Toni Owens Robertson look at my eagles selling out another stadium last night!
The Eagles were amazing loved every moment, when the showed Glenns photo on the screen the roars, the cheers, Gave you the best feeling of how loved he still is, they sung all the best songs, the end was like electrifying, all The claps and cell phone lights, the encores tremendous, Every bit of the Eagles concert was special !!!
Morning from Yorkshire England Jack , I always thought the were ‘Eagles’ and not ‘The Eagles’!....which is correct please.
Wow and well deserved
They put on an amazing show at the Fabulous Forum..
It was awesome
Unbelievable!!! They are to me America's greatest band!
What a great show last night!
Love. Love this group
💯
Yes they did a wonderful job. I am just really upset that for the 2nd time Don did not sing much. For him to only do "Boys of Summer" while Joe Walsh did 5 of his songs was not right. Heck Vince sang more than Don. 🙁
Don't understand the choice of vince Gill
I feel Vince Gill is an excellent choice to tour with the Eagles
I know it can be disappointing, but the core and long time members are aging. We may have to get used to substitutes. There may be times when they just can't do it and need a break. I'm just thankful to have been able to see them earlier this year and they were simply AWESOME!
The Eagles never fail to ROCK IT!!!
Anything by the Eagles!
i tried for months to win a contest for tickects, sad
Perhaps he is enjoying a break
Wishing I was there 😢🎶🎼❤️
Great
Randy Meisner singing u cant go wrong!
Such great music and fun. Poco, Flying Burrito Bros and the Eagles what fun times..✌️
Randy sounds good singing Tempchins songs also !
All the way around, it's a great album
Great song and great performance!
Poco was very good band, miss hearing them..great music
Love this song!!
Helluva Band!
Not a bad song on this one. Meisner and the rest of the gang delivered on probably my favorite album from the 80's.
Grew up on Poco, Pure Prairie league, and the Eagles music some of the best country rock music ever written
Well, originally, Jim Messina was in the band. He left early and was replaced by Randy.
Got it on vinyl, such an incredible album! And Randy’s voice is marvellous! 🙂
This is my favorite POCO song.
Great album! Great song.
Love the Eagles
Yep
Richie Furay was in Poco, too.
One of my favorite bands, such great talent!
Love this album ❤️ that’s Jack 😊
POCO is my favorite band
Great LP!
