The Eagles

The three-hour 'History of the Eagles' documentary is an entertaining if slightly sanitized trip through the career of one of rock's most popular groups.

The enduring success of the Eagles means that Don Henley doesn't need to work unless he wants to. And when that time comes, it's hard to get him to stop. In a new interview, he discussed his upcoming projects that will keep him busy for the next few years, which includes a new solo album and autobiography.

There were many things that jumped out to Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey as he waded through hours of homemade archival video footage from the '70s, which would eventually become the heart of the new, no-holds-barred documentary on the seminal Southern California band, 'History of the Eagles Part 1.'

With the possible exception of Joe Walsh, the guys in the Eagles aren't exactly known for being talkative, and Don Henley tends to be the most taciturn of all -- so the fact that he recently decided to open up to Rolling Stone about the pair of new documentaries delving into the band's history must mean he really likes the movies.

The warm smell of colitas will be rising up through the air at this year's Sundance festival, thanks to the scheduled premiere of the new two-hour documentary 'History of the Eagles, Part One.'

The upcoming Sundance Film Festival will feature the world premiere of 'History of the Eagles, Part 1,' a fully authorized documentary that chronicles the early history of the band. The screening will take place at the Eccles Theater in Park City, Utah on Jan. 19, 2013 at 9:45PM.

Artists are rarely the best judges of their own material. How many times have we cringed when a classic group we love releases a new album they claim is among their best ever? And how often are we privileged to hear outtakes that cause us to smack our heads, in disbelief that they were left off the original record?

Now that Joe Walsh has officially wrapped up ‘Analog Man,’ his first album of new solo material in 20 years, he’s planning to release it in May or June.
