Albhy Galuten on AllMusicGuideInvolvement with the Eagles
Most famous for his work with the BeeGees, Galuten was an already well-known session player and technician at the time he appeared on One of These Nights. (He is also thanked on Hotel California). He has said of his role, "I never really played with the Eagles [...] on some of the [albums]. They would need a synthesizer part and I would be the guy who knew how to get the sounds, find a part that was appropriate, and lay it down. I would put things in that you felt rather than heard. They would reinforce the bottom in the chorus or add structure to the song. At that time, a pop style was developing that would appeal to the masses but perhaps not to sophisticated listeners. I was pretty good at pushing those buttons and helping people to get their records to sound more accessible." (see article)
