ONE OF THESE NIGHTS, the fourth album by the Eagles, is great. The guitar soloing takes a few cues from the Allman Brothers Band's BROTHERS AND SISTERS, and there's also an experimentation with R&B rhythms on the title track. The best song here is the Don-Felder-written-and-sung "Visions", which blends R&B rhythms with country-blues-rock guitar picking. Other great moments include Randy Meisner's "Too Many Hands", which is an indictment of sexism; "Take It To The Limit", a ballad about trying to break free of a worn-out relationship; and "Lyin' Eyes", which is about a woman who seems to have married a rich man just for the money, rather than for love. Overall, ONE OF THESE NIGHTS is the Eagles' best album up to that point, with the rock style and sound highly pronounced, and a dry run for HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

Anticipation had been heightened by the belated chart-topping success of the third album's "The Best of My Love"; taking a little more time, the band generated more original material, and that material was more polished. More than ever, the Eagles seemed to be a vehicle for Don Henley six co-writing credits and Glenn Frey five, but at the same time, Randy Meisner was more audible than ever, his two lead vocals including ...
