  • "Take It Easy" is a song written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey, and recorded by the Eagles (with Frey singing lead vocals). It was the band's first single, released on May 1, 1972. It also was the opening track on the band's debut album Eagles and it has become one of their signature songs, included on all of their live and compilation albums. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Browne originally began writing "Take It Easy" in 1971 for his own debut album. His friend and then-neighbor Frey heard an early version and liked it so much that Browne gave it to him for his new band. Frey finished the second verse (including the line "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford ... ") and the resulting single climbed to #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Bass player Randy Meisner sings the harmony vocal in the beginning of this verse with Frey, but drummer Don Henley is singing harmony at the end of the verse ("Though we will never be here again...). Bernie Leadon provides the lead guitar and distinctive banjo parts, as well as harmony vocals. Jackson Browne later recorded the song as the lead track on his second album, For Everyman (1973). It has also been covered by several other artists including Billy Mize, Johnny Rivers, and Travis Tritt. Tritt's version, recorded for the tribute album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles, was released as a single in 1993, and peaked at #21 on the Billboard country music charts. The video for Tritt's version featured the Eagles lineup from 1978 to 1980, which would subsequently reunite in 1994. The second verse of "Take It Easy" is set in the city of Winslow, Arizona, which responded by erecting a life-size bronze statue and mural commemorating the song, at the Standin' On The Corner Park. The statue stands leaning against a lamp post, securing an acoustic guitar between his right hand and the shoe of his right foot. Above his head, a metal sign, crafted in the style of U.S. Route shields, displays the words "Standin' on the corner". The trompe-l'œil mural on the wall behind the statue is that of a fake storefront, and includes what would appear to be the reflection of a red Ford pickup truck driven by a blonde-haired woman. The second floor of the mural features an eagle perched in one of the windows.

  • Take It Easy is de naam van de eerste single van The Eagles en is geschreven door Jackson Browne en Glenn Frey. De single werd uitgegeven op 1 mei 1972 en was het openingsnummer van het debuutalbum Eagles. Het is een van de meest bekende songs van The Eagles geworden en heeft een vaste plaats op bijna alle compilatiealbums van de band verworven. Jackson Browne begon met het schrijven van Take It Easy in 1971, oorspronkelijk voor zijn eigen debuutalbum. Zijn vriend en buurman, Glenn Frey, hoorde een vroeger versie van Brownes werk en vond het goed. Browne gaf hem het lied voor Freys nieuwe band. Frey werkte het tweede vers af en het resultaat scoorde goed. Take It Easy bereikte de twaalfe plaats in de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100.

  • Take It Easy är en sång skriven av Jackson Browne och Glenn Frey och inspelad av countryrockbandet Eagles, med Frey som sångare. Den släpptes som bandets första singel 1 maj 1972 och nådde tolfte plats på Billboard Hot 100. Den fanns sedan med på debutalbumet Eagles, som utkom en månad senare. Låten skrevs ursprungligen av Browne 1971 till hans eget debutalbum. Frey, som då bodde granne med Browne, fick dock höra den innan den var färdig och blev så förtjust att Browne gav den till honom. Frey skrev sedan färdigt texten och spelade in den med sitt nystartade band Eagles. Browne spelade senare in låten till sitt andra album, For Everyman från 1973. Till andra artister som spelat in låten hör Johnny Rivers och Travis Tritt. Låttexten handlar om att ta det lugnt och inte låta sina problem tynga ner sig. I den andra versen nämns orten Winslow i Arizona, i textraden "Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona". Med anledning av detta reste man i Winslow en staty av en man stående i hörnet av gatorna North Kinsley Avenue och West 2nd Street.
