Jack Tempchin wrote "Peaceful Easy Feeling", and the Eagles put it on their 1972 debut, Eagles, then released it as the album's third single. Tempchin was playing folk coffee shops around his hometown of San Diego when a friend's poster for his gigs, packed with fake praise from famous names, reached the owner of a club in nearby El Centro. He slept on that club's floor after the show and sketched the song on the back of the poster, then finished it in a house full of musicians back home.

Glyn Johns produced it with a light hand. Glenn Frey sings lead over his acoustic guitar, Bernie Leadon joins in harmony from the second verse and Randy Meisner fills out the three-part blend, while Leadon's electric guitar twangs and Don Henley keeps it loping. It remains one of the band's best-loved songs.
