Perennial chart toppers The Eagles have hinted that they'll release a new studio album in the first half of 2007.
Guitarist Joe Walsh told Billboard that the band has been recording basic tracks for the members to add lyrics to, "We've got a bunch of stuff floating around." After surmising that there should be a studio album of new Eagles material out next year, he quipped, "It'll be nice to have some new songs to play, 'cause we're sick of the old ones."Two new songs did pop up on 2005's 'Farewell 1: Live From Melbourne' DVD, Walsh's 'One Day at a Time' and "No More Cloudy Days" written by the other guitarist vocalist Glenn Frey. There were also four new tunes on 'Hell Freezes Over' and a new song on their last Greatest Hits.
This will be the first time the band has released a whole studio album since 1979's 'The Long Run'. Not that this has troubled them in the charts over the last 27 years, since they are still one of the world's highest selling musical acts. Their 1976 'Greatest Hits' album has reportedly sold 29 times platinum and is the highest selling American album of all time.
