Glenn Frey, an Eagle in the Mojave

27 Comments / The Mojo on the Mojave / By

With the passing of Glenn Frey many people might not know that he has a Mojave Desert connection with Joshua Tree and the nearby Palm Springs area. Here are some pictures from The Eagles’ 1st photo shoot for their 1st album “The Eagles” in Joshua Tree National Park in March of 1972, taken by famed rock-n-roll photographer Henry Diltz.  Much of the imagery of the Eagles often portrayed the desert so I put this photo-collage together to tell the story.  My searching skills acquired from my previous blog about Gram Parsons might help me find this exact spot in the future:

Thank You Glenn for a lifetime of memories, this is my tribute to you,  hence my closing statement since the first day that this blog started   🙁

    Thank you very much. It was a sad day when I wrote it and had been intending to write a blog about the subject before Glenn died. I plan on looking for the exact spot of the photo shoot this summer.

    There are some fascinating points on this article however I don’t know if I see all of them close to heart. There’s some validity but I will take hold an opinion until I look into it further. Good site, thanks and we would like more! Added to my favorites as well.
