The Eagles released their fourth studio album, One Of These Nights, which is widely regarded as their commercial breakthrough.
The album featured three top-10 hits: the title track, which became the band’s second #1 single; Lyin’ Eyes”; and “Take It to the Limit,” featuring Randy Meisner on lead vocals.
The record became the Eagels’ first #1 album on the Billboard 200 and went on to be certified four-times Platinum.
One Of These Nights earned the band a Grammy nomination for album of the year and their first Grammy award, winning best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals.
In May, Eagles released a deluxe edition of the album featuring a new mix of the record and a previously unreleased 1975 concert.

If you’re worried that Sam Mendes’ four Beatles films may get a bit repetitive, one of the actors in those films is here to ease your mind.
Adam Pally, who plays controversial music exec and one-time Beatles manager Allen Klein in the films, reveals in a new interview with The Direct that each film will be unique.
When asked to explain how different he thinks the films will be, Pally was careful with his answer, but did offer some insight.
“I will try to answer in the most allowed way possible, but I would say that they are totally different,” he said. “The way The Beatles were individually, totally different, and the movies reflect each Beatles’ tone, in a way.”
“So, they all go together beautifully, and then they also are all individually perfect in that way, you know?” he added.
The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event is set to open in April 2028. It stars Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
The Sony films will mark the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles have granted a studio the rights to the life stories of band members and their legendary catalog of music.

War’s 1976 Greatest Hits compilation is getting a special reissue for its 50th anniversary.
The new release is part of Rhino’s Spirit of ’76 campaign, which celebrates the albums that defined America’s Bicentennial.
Greatest Hits features such classic War tunes as “The World is a Ghetto,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” and “Low Rider,” as well as “Summer,” which was recorded specifically for the original release.
“It marked the first time a new song was included on a Greatest Hits album and went on to become a greatest hit itself,” War’s longtime producer Jerry Goldstein says of the album. “We recorded ‘Summer’ while assembling the original compilation, which makes this 50th Anniversary edition the most authentic and complete version of our Greatest Hits.”
The 50th anniversary edition will be released July 31 on 180-gram black vinyl, along with an expanded CD, which adds tracks “Spill the Wine,” “Don’t Let No One Get You Down,” “So” and “Galaxy.” It is available for preorder now.
War is set to hit the road on their Greatest Hits tour this summer. The trek begins July 4 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A complete list of dates can be found at war.com.
‘Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul’ (Subtext/Rolling Stone Films)
The Gregg Allman documentary The Music of My Soul premieres Tuesday in New York City, and while there’s bound to be plenty of Allman Brothers Band music in the film, there will also be a new track by country star Jackson Dean.
The tune, “My Cross to Bear,” will close the film. Director James Keach enlisted Grammy-winning music maker Julian Raymond to create the track.
Ultimately, the tune is Jackson’s tribute to the man behind the Allman Brothers Band and iconic songs like “Midnight Rider,” ‘Whipping Post” and “I’m No Angel.”
“Gregg Allman lived a life that was so much larger than life, both the highs and the lows, and to sing a song that represents all of that is a lot,” Jackson says. “For me, I wanted to honor him, put everything I had, all that I know about living between the cracks and on those blazing stages into it. But I also knew I wanted to just let the power of who he was move through me and not think … just be.”
“He was an influence and hero to anyone who loves the blues, who chooses to live this life,” Jackson adds. “He was so much more than a song, an album or even the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and it’s all there when you hear him sing. He wrote some of the greatest Southern rock songs ever, but it’s not the words, it’s what’s in the notes when he sings them.”
After the Big Apple premiere, Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul travels to Macon, Georgia, for a hometown opening on Thursday. It will also have one-week exclusive engagements in Los Angeles and New York, before playing in theaters nationwide on June 17.
Tom Petty and Elvis Costello were among the artists inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at a gala in New York City.
Petty performed, backed by his band Mudcrutch, but bypassed his hit songs. Instead, he performed “Angel Dream” and the Mudcrutch tune “Forgive it All.” Byrds co-founder Roger McGuinn, who inducted Petty, treated the audience to Petty’s hit “American Girl.”
Costello took the stage with “Alison,” while Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons, who inducted Costello, paid tribute to him with a performance of “Pump It Up.”
The night’s other inductees included “Wild Thing” songwriter Chip Taylor, Marvin Gaye, Nile Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards of Chic. Lionel Richie received the Johnny Mercer Award.

The 2026 edition of Farm Aid is set to take place Sept. 26 at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Virginia, marking the annual benefit’s first time in the area.
Farm Aid board members Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews, Margo Price and Nathaniel Rateliff are all set to perform. Young, who canceled a 2026 tour of Europe and the U.K. to take a break, will be performing with his band The Chrome Hearts, while Matthews will perform with frequent collaborator Tim Reynolds.
Other artists on the bill include Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Turnpike Troubadours, Lukas Nelson, Jesse Welles, Sierra Ferrell, I’m With Her, Mon Rovîa, Amythyst Kiah, Lily Meola and Chris Pierce.
“Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too,” says Farm Aid founder Willie Nelson. “The challenges farmers face threaten their livelihoods and put all of us at risk.”
He adds, “We’re bringing Farm Aid to Virginia to stand with the farmers and fishers who feed Hampton Roads and beyond — and to grow a food system that works for everyone.”
A presale begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET, with tickets going on sale to the general public starting Friday at 10 a.m. More info can be found at FarmAid.org.

John Fogerty is set to receive the Johnny Mercer Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s highest honor, on Thursday in New York City. And yet with a career that includes iconic tunes like “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Fortunate Son” and more, Fogerty was recently left off The New York Times’ list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters, something he doesn’t seem too upset about.
Asked about the snub by The Hollywood Reporter, Fogerty replied, “I mean, I would’ve been shocked but a lot of people weren’t mentioned. There’s only 30, and you have to be alive. It’s pretty tough.”
Along with Fogerty, artists like Billy Joel, Randy Newman and Stevie Nicks were left off the list.
“The funny thing is that everybody sees this through their own lens,” he continued. “There were all kinds of other really deserving people that weren’t on that list either.”
“It happens,” he adds. “Rolling Stone releases a list of the greatest records of all time. As time goes on, the records that I love or the artists that I love, more and more of them would be dropped away for newer things because the voters get younger and they vote for what they like. It’s kind of a natural progression.”
John Fogerty’s Legacy tour hits Lincoln, California, on June 26, and he has September dates booked with Steve Winwood. A complete list can be found at JohnFogerty.com.
