Desperado is the second studio album by American rock band the Eagles, released in 1973. The album features a concept that tells the story of outlaws and gunfighters in the Old West, with each song contributing to the overarching narrative.
The album's title track, "Desperado," has become one of the Eagles' most famous songs and has been covered by many artists. The song is a ballad that tells the story of a wanted outlaw who is "out ridin' fences" and "tryin' to catch the devil's herd." The track features a memorable piano melody and a soaring vocal performance by Don Henley.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Tequila Sunrise," a melancholic ballad that showcases the Eagles' vocal harmonies and features a memorable guitar solo by Glenn Frey, and "Outlaw Man," an upbeat and energetic track with a catchy guitar riff and a driving rhythm section.
The album also features several instrumental tracks that help to create a cinematic atmosphere, including the evocative "Doolin-Dalton" and the haunting "Bitter Creek."
