Thanks for BR for suppyling the tape.

This is for those who want something else other than our Hard & Heavy Hump Day offerings! How's the sound? It's WNEW Live At The Bottom Line...It's awesome of course!!!

For Eagles fans this may be a Great Addition to their Eagles collections. J.D. Souther, being one of Glenn Frey's best friends, was a big part of the Eagles Hit Machine. Souther was a constant writing companion of Frey's helping him write many songs in his career. "James Dean", included in this set, is a great example. If you haven't heard J.D. Souther's music but are a fan of The Eagles or The "California Sound" you will definitely enjoy this great Country Rock set.

The original uploader included some articles about the set with the file set which of course can be found in the art & info folder.
