Take It 'To the Limit': New Eagles Triple Album Offers Hits, Live Cuts
Last fall, Eagles embarked on their Long Goodbye tour.

The tour currently has gigs lined up through June in North America and Europe, including stops in Chicago, Toronto, and Manchester. Each show has amounted to a greatest-hits retrospective, and so it's no surprise that a companion audio release will

The Warner Bros. album, produced by the legendarily versatile Arif Mardin (Dusty Springfield, Bee Gees), placed Khan's powerful voice front and center with the

In Memoriam: Melanie Safka (1947-2024)
Melanie Safka, known the world over simply as Melanie, tapped into a deep well of emotion with the powerful anthem "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" and skated into listeners' hearts with "Brand New Key." Though the singer-songwriter's U.S. hits dried up by the early 1980s, she continued to write and record in her disarming and often happily quirky style. A voice of the Vietnam generation, Melanie was content to transport audiences back to the Woodstock era while always authentically speaking
