One of These Nights by The Eagles

One of These Nights, the Eagles' fourth album, rolled out on Asylum on June 10, 1975, and it's the record that turned the country-rock boys from Los Angeles into international superstars. Bill Szymczyk produced it at Criteria Studios, and the lineup was Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Randy Meisner on bass and Bernie Leadon, with new guitarist Don Felder along for the ride.

The country twang is fading fast here, swapped for slick, smoky rock with a dash of disco slink on the title track, which went to number one in America. "Lyin' Eyes" is long, cool and knowing, and it won the band their first Grammy, while "Take It to the Limit" is a sky-high weeper. Felder even gets his only Eagles lead vocal, on "Visions". It was their first number-one album and sold four million copies, but the shift toward mainstream rock didn't sit well with Leadon, who quit after the tour and was replaced by Joe Walsh.
