The Eagles 'The Long Road To Eden', their first studio album since 1979's 'The Long Run' is expected to be released at the end of June, 2007.
Although no official date has been set for the release, US trade mag Pollstar has published what they say is the correct timing for the release.The Eagles have been working on 'The Long Road To Eden' for a number of years and founder Don Henley has confirmed the title in a number of interviews.
Despite the long talked about project, it was only in January when bass player Timothy B. Schmit made a positive statement about the reality of a release. "We are making steady progress and I now believe there will actually be an album," he wrote in his diary at timothybschmit.com
Since 'The Long Run', The Eagles have released the four new studio songs 'Get Over It', 'Love Will Keep Us Alive', 'The Girl From Yesterday' and 'Learn To Be Still 'Hell Freezes Over' (1994); 'Hole In The World' from 'The Very Best of The Eagles' (2003) and 'No More Cloudy Days' and 'One Day At A Time' from the DVD 'Farewell 1 Tour: Live From Melbourne'.
In 2006, a bonus CD was issued exclusive to Wal-Mart with the Melbourne DVD with two more new songs 'Fast Company' and 'Do Something' as well as a studio version of 'No More Cloudy Days'.
It is uncertain at this stage if these tracks will be included on 'The Long Road To Eden'.
As a side-note to the Eagles studio activity, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh will perform on April 24th for the national Association of Chain Drug Stores in Scottsdale, Arizona.
