Travis Tritt & The Eagles – Take It Easy
Travis Tritt & The Eagles – Take It Easy (1993)
Directed by: Gerry Wenner
In 1993, Travis Tritt covered the Eagles’ classic “Take It Easy” for the tribute album *Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles*. The accompanying music video is historically significant, as it marked the first time since their 1980 breakup that all five members of the Eagles—Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Don Felder, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit—appeared together, playing billiards in a local tavern and performing as its house band. This reunion in the video set the stage for the band’s official reformation and subsequent “Hell Freezes Over” tour. Tritt’s rendition, coupled with the iconic video, pays homage to the original while highlighting the enduring appeal of the song.
