Between their sweet, country-tinged sound and their fondness for lyrics about dusty, open roads, the Eagles were naturals to record a concept album about the Old West. Drawing on themes of wanderlust and solitude, these songs speak to the rebellious spirit in all of us. Whether it's the rhythmic barroom piano of "Outlaw Man" or the plaintive balladry of the album's timeless title track, Desperado is the personal theme music for everyone's inner outlaw.
