One year ago, on October 30, 2007, the Eagles released their first album since 1978, called Long Road Out of Eden.  The album consisted of some new songs and some songs that they had performed in the 70s, but didn’t record, because the writer, J. D. Souther, wanted to release it on his own solo album. The album was available at first only on the group’s website and at Sam’s Club and Walmart stores.  Now, it’s also available through other retailers. One band member says that this is probably the last Eagles album that they will make together.  The band has also put together a tour to promote this new album.  They launched it in March 2008 and continue to perform into 2009.  The tour started in London, but will go on to cities in many other countries, including the US and Canada.  The group has also won a Grammy Award this year for the song “How Long” on the new album.
