On the Border
The Eagles’ third studio album, On the Border, began like their first two: in a London recording studio with producer Glyn Johns. But Don Henley and Glenn Frey would replace Johns after two songs and hire Bill Szymczyk with the intention of going in a harder rock direction. As it often goes, it was the Johns-produced “Best of My Love” that became the band’s number-one hit single. Guitarist Don Felder was also brought into the fold as the fifth Eagle. He plays slide guitar on “Good Day in Hell” and a guitar duet with Frey on the single “Already Gone.” While the Eagles do achieve that harder edge on songs like the title track, the album also includes Bernie Leadon’s country-rock Gram Parsons tribute “My Man,” and a cover of Tom Waits’ “Ol ’55.” On the Border is the Eagles’ most stylistically diverse album, and shows them on the border of their melodic country past and heavy but polished future.
