Album: “Hotel California” by The Eagles Released in 1976 Classic Albums Live (CAL) is simple in its quest: note for note – cut for cut. When you have amazing songs, a perfect album, and a deep love of music there’s nothing else needed. Hotel California features CAL at its best and they plan to continue to pay this great work of art the ultimate respect. Hotel California is one of the greatest albums ever made. There’s a reason why “New Kid in Town” won a GRAMMY®. The deep cuts – the ones that don’t get radio play – those are the ones that are like finding gold on a beach. “Wasted Time” is the ultimate heartache song. “Pretty Maids All in A Row” is Joe Walsh’s tour de force. And “The Last Resort” should be taught in schools.
