How's it going board...I am not sure if a topic about a hypothetical Eagles cover of another act's song would fit here, since this may delve off topic a bit...feel free to let me know if this topic needs to be moved elsewhere...
However, I happen to be a huge fan of another great harmony group, the Oak Ridge Boys. There was a thread on their board about covers other acts could do of their little known songs they have done over the years...
My closest friend on the board, Jeff Myers, who usually has great takes on topics like this, suggested that the Eagles might have an interesting take on the Oaks' 1992 song, "Fall", which wasn't a hit for them. (Don't let the song's songwriter, Don Von Tress, fool you...yes, he was the same writer who wrote the annoyance known as "Achy Breaky Heart", but as you will see in the video, this is a much better song of his.
I was wondering if you all feel this song would fit the Eagles with the right arrangement, how they could sing/harmonize/arrange it, etc. I've pondered that a bit this morning...
