On the Border

• Track Listing

The band accelerated their climb with this 1974 LP, which flew to #17 on the backs of the hits Already Gone and James Dean and the #1 smash Best of My Love. R&B and rock enter the picture, joining the Eagles’ folk and country flavors, as you hear the funky title cut; their take on Tom Waits’ Ol’ 55; the straight-up bluegrass of Midnight Flyer; the thumping rocker Good Day in Hell, and more! Elektra.
