eagles long road out of eden (deluxe collectors edition)
Nearly six years in production, Long Road Out of Eden is the first studio album from the Eagles since 1979.
In 2006, a special edition exclusive to Wal-Mart of the DVD release, Farewell 1 Tour-Live from Melbourne, included a bonus CD with three studio versions of songs from Long Road Out of Eden: "No More Cloudy Days," "Do Something" and "Fast Company."
On August 20, 2007, "How Long," written by J.D. Souther -- who had previously worked with the Eagles co-writing some of their biggest hits including "Best of My Love," "Victim of Love," "Heartache Tonight" and "New Kid in Town" -- was released as a single to radio with an accompanying online video at Yahoo! Music and debuted on television on CMT during the Top 20 Countdown on August 23, 2007. The band performed the song as part of their live sets in the early to mid 1970s, but did not record it at the time due to J.D. Souther's desire to use it on his first solo album.
On November 20, 2007, the Deluxe Collector's Edition of Long Road Out of Eden was released, featuring two bonus tracks, "Hole In The World" and "Please Come Home For Christmas." This version of the CD is wrapped in a red linen cloth, screen printed with panoramic imagery, and includes a 40 page booklet with lyrics, credits, exclusive photos and desert scenes from the making of the "How Long" video.[1]
In an interview with CNN, band member Don Henley declared, "This is probably the
last Eagles album that we'll ever make."
