Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Amazon.com
This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, "Hole in the World," Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as "Get Over It," the band's previous state-of-the-union message (from which the newer song represents a philosophical 180-degree turn). But for those seeking an overview of this Southern California juggernaut's successes, as well as telling comments from band members--mostly Henley and Frey--in a well-designed booklet, Very Best will more than do. --Rickey Wright

Well folks, I suppose everything must end sometime because there is always a New Kid in Town. And, although it is true that I've been On the Border for some time, there is a need to Take It to The Limit and Get Over It. Right now, I am writing this from The Hotel California, and I'm seeing them dance in the courtyard with Those Shoes. Yep I definitely can see another Heartache Tonight. All these people are a Victim of Love and, what would you expect with their Lyin' Eyes? It's almost as sad as The Sad Cafe. I tell ya.
As far as the Presidential Campaign goes? I realized I became a Desperado and so, withdrew from the rat race. Now I Take It Easy and have a Peaceful Easy Feeling within. I will explain it all to you One of These Nights. I have no desire to live Life in the Fast Lane any longer.
While I was In the City I realized that After the Thrill is Gone, all you wind up with is Wasted Time. In The Long Run, I suppose it's best. I Can't Tell You Why this is so, perhaps it's just The Last Resort.
Now I am free. I can sit back, relax, and watch the Tequila Sunrise and know that Love Will Keep Us Alive. Oh sure, there might be some Witchy Woman out there, ready to put a Hole In the World, but I'm not worried. No. I got a James Dean haircut and will drive my Ol' 55 to hunt her down. After all, she could be the one behind all this mess.
Now I must go. And, please, no begging me to Please Come Home For Christmas. My lectures are booked up through 2010.
In summary - A superb collection by a premiere American Band. Essential to your musical collection.
Take care my people, many blessings to all, even those who didn't like my reviews. Be well.
