Leaving behind the sun-splashed country-rock that helped the Eagles dominate the airwaves throughout the '70s, The Long Run points toward a new decade with angular lead guitars and a seductive but pervasive darkness of spirit. From Don Henley's valedictory title track through Glenn Frey's foot-stomping rocker "Heartache Tonight" to the wounded hush of Timothy B. Schmit's "I Can't Tell You Why," The Long Run feels like a band coming together one last time to say goodbye before embarking on their solo careers.
