Barber Cuts: Beats and Bars

Hotel California - Eagles


Listen Later

This week we check into one of rock’s most iconic destinations: Hotel California by the Eagles. With Joe Walsh joining the lineup for the first time, the band leans into a sharper, more electric sound, without losing their signature harmonies. We talk through the hits, the deep cuts, and of course the legendary title track that sparked decades of interpretations. Which songs soar, which ones stumble, and what keeps this album such a classic? Plus, our picks for best beat, best bar, and “Song of the Week.”
