About To The Limit: The Untold Story Of The Eagles

Product Description The definitive, unauthorized biography of The Eagles by the New York Times bestselling biographer To the Limit is the unauthorized account of the group from its earliest years through the breakup, solo careers, and reunions. Blending the country and folk music of the late sixties with the melodic seductiveness of Detroit-style roots rock, the Eagles brought a new sound to a stagnant music scene. Under the brilliant management of David Geffen, the Eagles projected a public image of unshakable camaraderie -- embodied by the cerebral, brooding Don Henley and the intuitive, self-destructive Glenn Frey -- bolstered by the gorgeous harmonies of their songs. Behind the scenes, however, there was another story. At turns revealing, inspiring, funny, and shocking, To the Limit is the chronicle of a time, a place, and a group that succeeded in changing forever the world of popular music. Review "A fascinating up-close look at the creative forces behind some of rock music's most durable songs." -- Discoveries for Record & CD Collectors, December 2005 "Tough, lyrical prose...the book brims with anecdotes about the band's now-legendary hotel-room demolition sessions, prodigious substance abuse and tireless womanizing." -- Publishers Weekly "Will raise the hair on your neck...a page-turner that won't leave you with a peaceful, easy feeling." -- Austin Chronicle5/27/05 About the Author Marc Eliot's previous biographies include Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince and Death of a Rebel: A Biography of Phil Ochs. He lives in New York City.
