Eagles is the debut studio album by American rock band the Eagles. The album was recorded at London`s Olympic Studios with producer Glyn Johns and released on June 1, 1972. It was an immediate success for the then-new band, reaching No. 22 on the Billboard 200 and achieving a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Three singles were released from the album, each reaching the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100: `Take It Easy` (number 12), `Witchy Woman` (number 9), and `Peaceful Easy Feeling` (number 22). The band, starting with this album, played a major role in popularizing the country rock sound.[2]

The album was ranked number 368 in the 2012 edition of Rolling Stone magazine`s list of the `500 Greatest Albums of All Time`,[3] and at number 207 in the 2020 reboot of the list.[4] The single `Take It Easy` is part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame `500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll`.[5]

Background
In 1971, the band had just been formed and signed by David Geffen, who then sent them to Aspen, Colorado, to develop as a band. For their first album, Glenn Frey wanted Glyn Johns to be the producer as they liked a number of rock albums engineered by Johns, including albums by the Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin. Johns was invited by Geffen to see the band perform at a club called Tulagi in Boulder, Colorado, in December 1971.[6][7] Johns, however, was not impressed by the band`s live performance, thinking that it sounded confused and lacking in cohesion - Frey wanted it to be a rock & roll band while Bernie Leadon wanted a country feel—so Johns declined to produce the album.[8][9]

Johns was persuaded by Geffen to have a second listen in a rehearsal setting in Los Angeles, but Johns did not change his opinion of the band until all four started singing harmonies with acoustic guitar on a ballad written by Meisner, `Take the Devil`.[10] Johns was impressed by their harmony singing, and later said: `There it was, the sound. Extraordinary blend of voices, wonderful harmony sound, just stunning.`[8] In the albums he produced for the Eagles, Johns emphasized the vocal blend of the band, and he has been credited with shaping the band into `the country-rock band with those high-flyin` harmonies.`[11
