Album Notes
Ηell Freezes Over marks the first reunion of the original members after some 12 years. It also incorporates 4 brand new tracks recorded in 1994 as well as being a veritable smorgasbord of some of their greatest hits like Tequila Sunrise, Take It Easy, Life In The Fast Lane, Desperado. Oh yeah and another little ditty called Hotel California which has to be heard to be believed! We’re talkin’ musicians at the peak of their powers. All in stunning XRCD2 sound!
The album name is in reference to a quote by Don Henley after the band's breakup in 1980; he commented that the band would play together again "When Ηell Freezes Over." One of the most notable tracks is a new arrangement of "Hotel California" that features an extended acoustic guitar and percussion opening. At the beginning of the concert, Glenn Frey stated to the audience jokingly that "For the record, we never broke up, we just took a 14 year vacation". The new song "Get Over It" became a modest hit, and another new song, "Love Will Keep Us Alive", reached #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
The album went to #1 on the Billboard album chart upon its release where it stayed for two weeks.
The XRCD2 offers a much better sound as the regular release. Give it a listen, it/s simply amazing!
