Take It Easy (live) - Eagles - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Written by Jackson Browne and Eagles band member Glenn Frey, who provides lead vocals on the track, this freewheeling, banjo-enhanced classic from the Eagles saw the US rock heavyweights tune into the kind of comforting, twangy country-rock frequency that defined so much of their other work, taking the form of hits like 1975's "Lyin' Eyes." "Take It Easy" was in fact the band's first-ever single, released in May 1972 and hitting Number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track opened the band's debut self-titled album and was also covered by country artist Travis Tritt, who recorded his version for the Eagles tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles, which featured country music artists who had been inspired by the Eagles' music. The epoch-shaping song, which is captured in this live version, has been listed as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
