Glen Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner were backup players for Linda Ronstadt in 1971 when they decided to form their own group.
Their early sound was a combination of country music and surf rock and their first album was released in 1972. Guitarist-vocalist Don Felder was added in 1974, Joe Walsh replaced Leadon in 1975, and Timothy B. Schmit stepped in to replace Meisner in 1977.
After recording five more albums, the band broke up in 1980, with all the members attempting solo careers with varying degrees of success. The band reunited in 1994 for a tour and live album, and they have toured sporadically since.
