Hotel California (45 edit) - Eagles - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The Eagles’ "Hotel California" 45 edit, released on February 22, 1977, trims the original album version slightly but keeps every bit of its iconic atmosphere. Written by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey, the song tells the story of a weary traveler trapped inside a mysterious luxury hotel, serving as a metaphor for the seductive but destructive side of the American dream. "Hotel California" blends Henley’s haunting vocals with one of the most famous dual guitar solos in rock history, played by Felder and Joe Walsh. Produced by Bill Szymczyk, the track layers smooth rock rhythms with hints of flamenco and eerie lyrical imagery. The 45 edit helped the Eagles reach a wider radio audience, eventually sending the track to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Hotel California" also won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1978, and remains one of the Eagles' most defining moments, both musically and culturally.
