Shiloh (Pre-Eagles) : Shiloh


 

ROSIE KNOWS ME,

SHE NEVER WEARS A FROWN


SHILOH

I'm not sure

 of the source

 for the CD; 

it could be from

 some sort of tape 

or it could also 

be from a

 very good

 sounding 

vinyl version

 of the album. 

Either way, 

it's a decent

 sounding CD 

as presented here.

 Unfortunately,

 there are not 

bonus tracks;

 there is a single

 that the same band

 (minus their guitar player Al Perkins)

 recorded as Felicity 

which includes a 

Don Henley 

penned song as well. 

There isn't much 

in the way 

of information 

on the recording

 of the album 

which is a pity.

In 1969,

 they met by chance

 fellow Texan 

Kenny Rogers 

who took an interest

 in their band. 

They changed their name

 to Shiloh 

and recorded a

 few songs

 for Rogers

 Future Eagles 

orchestrator 

Jim Ed Norman 

and the President

 of a Warner Nashville 

as of a 

couple of years ago 

was also a member

 of the band

 and provides

 a song as well.

One could look

 at this as 

proto-Eagles;

 there's still a

 strong

 country rock sound

 to the album. 

After this, 

the band split up 

and Henley

 ended up

 becoming friends

 with Frey

 performing as a member 

(briefly)

 as

 Linda Ronstandt's 

backing back

 (with the rest of Eagles).

 After that, 

Frey, 

Henley, 

Leadon 

and

 Meisner

 formed   

The Eagles 

and the rest is 

multi-platinum history

 for the band.
