this is a wonderful TRIBUTE to thier songwriting & I'd like to thank everyone responsable for it. I don't understand people who listen to this album and expect it TO BE the Eagles. so glad I happened onto the pickin' on series. am recent convert to bluegrass (now a devotee).big fan of strings.and to hear my favorite Eagles this way is a real treat.
Lyin' Eyes is another great arrangement. Already gone is a toe tapping masterpiece. Peaceful Easy Feeling is just that, a great combination of the bluegrass instruments arranged perfectly. The whole Pickin' on series is a treat for me, but Pickin' on the Eagles is one of my top choices. The Eagles music lends itself easily to the Bluerass sound and Pickin' On set the Eagles to the number one or two spot of my collection. Don't miss the point. Its the Eagles put to Bluegrass. Hotel California just ignites with passion and excitement.
They apparently also can not sing so this is just the music without words. I received this as a gift. What a waste of money. The gift giver was unhappy to find out it wasn't really an Eagles CD (the phrase 'a tribute' was covered by the price sticker) and no one lets you return an opened CD. These guys are pretty good at picking but it is not the Eagles. It is a bunch of guys who apparently can't write their own songs so play someone else's songs.
'New Kid In Town' is a unintentially funny song that is probably my favorite on the album. Received CD as a gift, and never returned it. The best songs are when the banjo and fiddle take the songs in a direction that the Eagles never intended to go.
Amazon preview did not adequately describe this CD for what it is: guitar and banjo picking and twanging period.
