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

Songwriter Jack Tempchin has written hits for the Eagles, his late buddy Glenn Frey, Johnny Rivers, Glenn Campbell, Emmylou Harris, Tom Waits and many more. ...September 24, 1979: Eagles release 'The Long Run' LP. "Who can go the distance? We'll find out..."
Love all of everything they did!!!
I owned this album years ago, don't know what happened to it
The Long Run was The Eagles sixth album. There were a lot of problems making this album from drug use to not having any songs written before The Eagles recorded this album. The Long Run had such classic songs as "Heartache Tonight", "I Can't Tell You Why" and the title track. The Eagles broke up on July 31,1980 and reunited in 1994. The Eagles will always be a band for all times. Take it easy.
Damn good!
Great American Band.
Some great, lesser played tracks on this one; The Disco Strangler & Those Shoes. With, of course, the fantastic 'I can't tell you why' with the beautiful guitar work by the legendary Glen Frey and one of the best fade-outs ever!
You are so right Gregory. Great facts. Too bad creative differences and dominant personalities broke them up. Just like Pink Floyd. Both are my favorite bands but fizzled out way too early. Both would have been the greatest bands of all time I think.
It would have been impossible to top the Hotel California album,but this was a great attempt.They were burning out and heading towards their "14 year vacation".Even the almost blank,black album cover hints at an ending.Reminds me of a funeral! But in 94 they came back and I had the pleasure of seeing them live 3 times.Great concerts.Best band ever.
Great album. The Eagles are still my all time band!!!
King of Hollywood. Great Tune off The Long Run.
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE...NOOOOOOOOO! thanks for that, now I feel ancient
King of Hollywood best song on there.
A great album. Disco Strangler is one of my favorite songs by them.
I have this fantastic album!! Love it!
King of Hollywood is such a great song.
Jack did you agree with the guys that this album was very difficult putting together?
Went to Memphis and saw this tour!👍🏻🎸🎸🎤
One of, if not the greatest LPS EVER
Love this had a lot of great songs.
Loved them then and now. Can't wait to hear the new group.
Damn I always thought it was the same day Tusk came out.Oct 12th.My mind is slipping!! Lol
I have this album and I went to the concert on the Long Run Tour.
Great album, loved every song on the album,,,,!!!!!
I love this album! I play the songs on it, all the time!
The Long One. It took 2 years to complete it
Wow did not know you were there or I would have been there sorry I missed it JACK hope it was a good time 😁
Awesome show!!! 🎶
Peaceful Easy Feeling is still a classic 45 years later. Jack Tempchin is such an incredible songwriter. Jack Tempchin is a class act. Take it easy.
I WOULD LOVE to sing PRISONER IN DISGUISE with you....I don't think JD would mind....
Hope you come closer to Maine - one of these nights😏
Sound good Pennsylvania

Musician Don Henley talks about his first solo album in 15 years, "Cass County."
Vic Deogracia Hope you take a 20 minute break and catch this interview on the INTERNET!
My fav.
Good music
Brillant album
Love Don Henley
❤️
This interview is why true Don Henley fans love and respect him so much. Whether it be with the Eagles or solo there is always a reason or story behind all of his songs. He is a true storyteller if not the best! Someone who stands for a reason and the true poetic nature of music!🎶🎶🎶❤️
Interesting. I did not know he did this interview with Charlie. I recently watched the one of him and Charlie when he had just released "Inside Job" which is a great interview as well. I look forward to this one! Don and Charlie seem to hit it off really well. Thanks for sharing sir!
And he scolded people for not watching the shows but for getting to wrapped up in looking thru a lens viewer worrying about recording everything instead of watching the show.. Don told Rose in this interview, ."Be in the moment with the band'.. I stood up and clapped when he told Rose that. I had been making a point to not record to just enjoy the show before this interview but stopped all together taking in a smartphone after i seen this interview. And man I have not enjoyed concerts as much as i have since the days before smartphones. I get tired of people being annoying with their damn phones. People in front of you dont realize that damn light is annoying as hell to the people behind them. holding that phone up is annoying and blocks the view of those around you. Put the damn phones up people and watch the show.....Never know when that may be the last time you see those guys perform. Loved this interview.. Made a point to stay up late that night to watch it.
So much truth about stealing songs even from writers who can not afford to go after the guilty. I enjoyed being able to catch Joe mid week at VetAid 1.
And that's because it's the best music, written by the best people
DON HENLEY has made great music...
Take it to the limit. My forever fav.
THE EAGLES ARE TIMELESS
Great music. Always my favorites.
I love Linda Ronstat! A beautiful voice and I was so sorry to hear of her debilitating disease. But what an amazing group of talented friends she has! I loved her version of Desperado. It has a whole different feel being song by a woman!
don doesn't let ANYONE sing that song...but since linda gave him and glenn the ok to form their own group i guess he didn't mind....she did a beautiful version....she's my girl......love her voice.....now it's silenced....very sad....ya never know jack so sing now.....sing loud
One of my all time favorites...if you ever get the chance listen to the little Irish girl sing it it in the move "In America"!
Not many can bring it like that...talent and soul...Love the fact that she and Jennifer Warren did backing vocals for Warren Zevon back in the day,(how great is Excitable Boy)
Great tune, sung by a great lady and one of the best voices, ever! Take good care, Linda.
my favorite song!! Linda, Eagles, both do a great job!!
A long long time is one of my favs.but I love all of her music!
I believe "Don't Cry Now" to be her best album. Although I do love them all
Still one of my favorites!
Beautiful version of this song. What a voice
One of her best albums .
Love that lady!
Powerful rendition
Love Linda!!
Good band
Beautiful
Grrrrrrreat 💟
Linda's version is really great. I've worn out a record & 2 CDs that have Desparado on them. She's no longer singing but gave us so much for so many years. Rock, pop, country - she does it all.
You can feel the emotion when she sang
Saw her @ the U of U in 74. Great singer and absolutely beautiful woman.
Great to hear it and take note of the lyrics, especially the last line.
Je le dis à chaque fois, mais les LPs de Mademoiselle Ronstadt sont des merveilles
Still listen to my Linda music. Just does not get much better than that.
Love Linda Ronstadt!
Love this ...
Hats off to Clint, Don and Lyle hopefully this is going to have a measurable impact on the lives of the thousands of victims of Hurricane Harvey who seriously need resources to recover/rebuild.

Glad to see these guys helping their home state.
Would be great but too far for me. But way to go gentlemen.
Happy Equinox Jack. My Ghostie Boy GLENNIE ... said to say ALOHA ... From Glenwood Springs Colorado
Nice. Way to go, Don!!!!
So thoughtful!
Love
There s a new band in town....every body talking about the new band in town
Not even a bit of a country fan but I'd go to this shining a nanosecond!
glad to see this.......time for even the accomplished stars to step up.......nice
Too rich for my blood. I wish I could.
Love to see that show
Vad säger Martin om detta? Värt en resa?
