Released in December 1976, this was the first album to feature Joe Walsh on guitar. It was written as a concept album by the band, reflecting on America in its bicentennial year, and the fading of many of the 1960s dreams. Hugely successful, the album includes the three singles New Kid in Town, Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane, and has sold over 32 million copies. The title track includes the very famous lyric, You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
