Hear Jackson Browne's Take
On "Take it Easy"
Rolling Stone's Original
1972 Review
"The Eagles' “Take It Easy,” is simply the best sounding rock single to come out so far this year. The first time through, you could tell it had everything: danceable rhythm, catchy, winding melody, intelligent, affirmative lyrics, a progressively powerful arrangement mixing electric guitar and banjo, and a crisp vocal, with vibrant four-part harmony at just the right moments for maximum dramatic effect. To top it off, “Take It Easy” was co-written by Jackson Browne and Eagle Glenn Frey, whose vocal on the record fell somewhere between Browne and Rick Nelson."
