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

So great to hear Glenn play and see him talk!
Never thought I'd be seeing the Eagles again after Glenn's passing but, wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, I'll be immersed in one more encore this coming Saturday Night in Queens. I'll get to revel in Rocky Mountain Way, and get choked up during Desperado. It's been quite a ride since first seeing them at the Academy of Music way back when, through Sedalia,Mo., Roosevelt Stadium, San Diego, Miami and MSG too many times to remember. Thanks guys...
Thank you for posting this Jack! It brings back SO many fond memories! May he rest in peace and smile down on all who love and miss him.
I love to watch musicians experience the joy of a performance that really works. Did you see the smile on the guitarist's face?? He was totally in the zone and loving making music with such iconic performers. Thanks for sharing this video; it made my day 🙂
That performance of Desperado was wonderful! 2 amazing, fantastic vocalists songwriters (Glenn and Don) in the same band. Glenn's voice was so rich and pure! There will never be another like him!
Thank YOU Doug Donoho - you did a great job of playing tributes when Glenn passed 😢
I miss him so much, it's hard to believe he is really gone!
I lived in Aspen in 84 Jack. Think I crossed paths w Glenn on a couple night skiing outings. Thx for posting this. 2 of my heroes.
Love you forever Glenn... Can't wait to be with everyone in heaven.. What A Party!!!!
Love that man and his music. There will never be another like Glenn Frey.
Just brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Glenn, Don for all of your wonderful music. There's a rainbow 🌈 above you.
33 years ago today. Wow that made me cry... Thank you for post.
I loved watching this, but it makes me cry, we all miss him so much!💖
God bless you & Thank you for sharing. Never knew this recording existed.
I recall Frey's performance on Letterman the evening of my 33rd birthday celebration in Sweet Home Chicago 😎
Thank you Jack for sharing you're the best! RIP Glenn we will always love and miss you and your amazing talent!!!
What a treasure this video is. Thanks for sharing, really miss him
OH JACK I REMEMBER THIS SO WELL...MY EAGLE FOREVER..AND DEACON YOU ARE YOUR FATHER'S SON...YOU KNOCKED THE BALL OUT OF DODGER STADIUM...
Gotta love ❤️ Glenn Frey
Nice Jack!
This is so cool, THANK YOU, he is dearly missed,!
Absolutely love to hear him talk such a great sense of humor.
Kelly Here is what you asked about! Thanks for posting!
I was fortunate to see Eagles perform live at San Jose Shark Arena in 2003. Awesome concert!
Amazing that he is gone . I saw them on the Hell Freezes over tour , I am so glad I did
Looking good Jack
Sammy Cahn probably composed some Sinatra music on that very piano jack. Really cool. By the way, I'm in the front row for the eagles show this sat. Do you you know if azoff will have seger for this show? Jim
Mr. Tempchin, I hope You realize what a big deal that is. He and "The Chairman of the Board" created some huge musical history along with Johnny Mercer. I'm very Impressed Sir...
JT, You know Mom is a retired piano teacher (Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach). She taught me and nearly all of my childhood friends. We believe learning to read sheet music early for performing achieves goals included in "The First Five" in California education. My own skill set in California courts and large aerospace and tech companies sprang from that early learning. Please let us know how you first learned to read and write and play music when you have time 🐎🐎🐎
Go Jack
Yes , love those Eagles
This is the greatest thing in the world. Who agrees?
Those are some great tunes, Jack!
How cool!

That was a tall order for Deacon. I was impressed that he handled the pressure so graciously. I see great things for Glenns beautiful son.
Loving Deacon, Joe, and all of the Eagles! So sorry I live so far from the concert venues! Come to Georgia or Florida!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Is Deacon playing his old mans guitar in this photo? Fair play, balls of steel walking out to a wall of fans. 💜
So Great! Love them. Congratulations to Deacon, you are fantastic. I love your voice .
So excited they are coming to Seattle...see you at the park boys!! Thanks Jack!!
I've been an Eagles fan for more than 40 yrs, with the addition of Vince Gill, what a telecaster God. Joe's got some real compation now. There is know finer guitar player on the planet!
Carry on Eagles . Glenn would be proud .

Happy Birthday Don Thank you for the backstage security experience .........
Man, I wish I was there!
Wish I could have been there!
Sounds like an awesome night! How better to celebrate a birthday! !
Happy 🎂 Don
Happy birthday Don!
Don Henley is the man! I expect to see him many more times and I hope this Birthday Concert was taped so I can purchase the CD! U don't receive this kind of love and respect on your birthday unless you are super special + Don is!!🌠🌠
I was there and it was wonderful. Love, love, love the birthday boy, aka Don Henley. No ice cream or cake was needed for this birthday celebration. I was disappointed in the crowd....could not understand why they weren't on their feet for the whole thing. Wear your orthopedic shoes next time, folks and pay the man and his music some proper respect.
Sounds like you had a blastwish I could of been there but fl is a long way from Dallas so please keep them comming new ones old one it don't matter I love them all.
Great show! Worth the trip from Denver. Let bed it all!
I'm so glad the guys are playing together again. It would have been such a shame for them not to carry on. I was fortunate enough to finally see them in Bakersfield on their last tour...(my first Eagles concert, ) although I had been a huge fan since their early days. You just can't beat the music...right, Jack! Oh, and while I was hanging at my Wyoming mountain cabin this weekend, my favorite local radio station, KUNT (ok, KANT) had an Eagles weekend. It was perfect!
It was an awesome show.. Happy Birthday Don.. Thank you for spending it with us!
Happy Birthday Don Henley.Thanks for the amazing music and inspiration you give the entire world.
Dear heavens get me two tickets for the weekend in NY!
Thanks Jack for sharing. Wish it came with some tunes though!
What a great show! And all the guests too! Looking pretty damn good for 70, hell, 60! Rock on!
Happy Birthday Don! Wish I could have been there. Thanks for sharing your special day with us!
Please rock & roll gods, make a movie & a soundtrack album out of this!!! 🙏🏼
70 is only a number!!! He never missed a beat...never has! Love DH. Awesome birthday party!!! Thanks for the invite 😘
He should just play out with this Band I would go for sure.
Happy Birthday Don...keep the music alive, we love it and we love you and the Eagles❤️
It was an incredible, magical night of music and memories!
Don Henley. Absolutely. The. Best.
Happy birthday don henley
Vince Gill: My Five Favorite Eagles Songs
rollingstone.com
This is so country. You could hear a guitar solo like that on a Merle Haggard record or an Emmylou Harris record.i just hope gill doesnt steer them into country pop...we gotta nuff bro country
Ever since Let Me Love You Tonight, there's no mistaking Vince's authentic sound. Being a huge Eagle's fan, I always zoom in on Henley's sweet voice. Dang, Vince is also so sweet that I'm not paying as much attention to Henley 's sound. Oh the pressure!! ; )
Just because he is a country singer does not mean he can't sing like the Eagles,I'm sure he Partied pretty Harty with this Band in there young Day's so quit knocking him before they even get started , AS for Deacon ,Sue i'm sure being Glenn's Son he already has most of his Songs , it's up to the rest of the Eagles if he has the rights to his Dad's music. There are Law"s protecting there Music .There always has to be the Downers on everything
I agree with you Vince and I would love to hear you sing Old 55 one of my favorite songs
I said the same thing when I first heard great white do covers especially of led Zeppelin and I actually thought it would be bad if Skynyrd went country which if you listen to street survivors sounds a little country on some songs and Hank jr does Rock and roll some blues at his show's so if Vince Gill wants to rock let him
Give me Waylon , Hank Jr , CDB , Possum Merle any day of the week ! Good old country ! Hank Jr and Garth like hard rock and metal ! Vince can do any style ! When they tour next year sometime , can't wait to see Vince and Joe do a little guitar duo or do crazy things together ! They will push each other !
I like the way sparkling earrings lay against your skin so brown...
These guys past, present and future are some of the absolute best song writers, singers and players in the business. They may change personnel and line up, but they work very hard at this and and have since they were kids...we should all give them the respect they have earned, show them some love and gratitude 🎶🌵
It's good to see Don laughing & enjoying himself again....moving forward. Glenn is still with us, just in a different way.
Or a Bernie Leadon record or a Clarance White record or a Graham Parsons record....
KISS really respects the Eagles ! Why not ! They are better than KISS !
"On the Border" - why don't they play this tune live ? It's even the title to a LP...
One of your best Jack !
Thanks for sharing this Jack...great song sung by a great singer!
Two of the best musicians, singers in my time. Both are unique and their music is "head and shoulders" above others.
Lying Eyes is another great song I love to sing along with!
No. But he is still good. Have you seen the video of Glenn's son Deacon? He was awesome!
Vince Gill is awesome
I love "Pretty Maids All In A Row" with Joe Walsh.
Love Vince Gill, but Eagles stuff is unique....
And I HATE it.
Only one missing is Take it Easy.
See Garth Brooks with KISS ! It is pretty cool !
One of These Nights.
Lying Eyes peaceful Easy feeling
Soul Searchin' is one of my favorite Glenn Frey and Jack Tempchin songs. I can't wait to buy "Peaceful Easy Feeling-Songs of Jack Tempchin when it comes out on August 25. Take it easy.
Meredith DiMenna
This list actually has 3 of my favorite musicians, Jack- of course, Johnny Lang and Steve Cropper..

One of my all-time favorites. Happy birthday, Mr. Henley. Thank you for sharing your music.
If I see one more Takemine in one more Eagle's hands, I'm going to rip up his endorsement contract and hand him a Martin.
Happy Birthday Don. I had the privilege of knowing you when I worked at Akai.
Happy Birthday, to one of the truly great musicians.
Eagles, the best !! Would love to see them again. Happy birthday Don and keep on rocken.!!!
