Can anyone expalin the harmony on "Seven Bridges Road"? Who is singing
the deep bass vocal (never noticed this voice on any other Eagles harmony). I
can pick out Henley and Frey, but the rest are a blur. Help!

Joe is the bass. Randy was the "soprano".

My response:

If you're talking about the Live album, then it can't be Randy singing "soprano." It has to be Tim, because according to the liner notes, the song was recorded on July 28, 1980 at the Santa Monica
Civic Auditorium.

My response:

"Seven Bridges Road" was recorded for the live album on July 28, 1980 at
the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, so that's Tim singing the "soprano,"
not Randy.

Sorry. Tim was the soprano. I got it mixed up.

I kinda thought Henley was singing the bass line.I have heard him speak (his
voice is rather low) and of course he sang the low-lead on King Of Hollywood.
But I was fairly sure he was also singing the part of the song "Some times
there's a part of me,etc.." in harmony.
Walsh never sounded like a bass to me. Are where exactly does
Felder fit in to the mix?

Do you know what J.D. has been up to lately? Has he done any albums since
"Home by Dawn?"

Along with being a singer/songwriter, J.D. has also pursued a career as an actor. He had a pivotal recurring role on "thirtysomething" a few years ago and has also been in the films "My Girl 2" and
"Always." I'm sure there are other projects, but those are the three that immediately came to mind when I read your post.

On the musical front, J.D. will be appearing in Nashville at the Tin Pan South Legendary Songwriters Acoustic Concert on April 19 along with Dan Fogelberg, Stephen Bishop, Hank Cochran, Jimmy Webb,
Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil.

That AD John David played on "Post Card from the Edge" was pretty cool,
too.

Also, you might want to pick up his song book, "John David Souther: 20
Songs" at your nearest music store. (Published by Hal Leonard/EMI
Publishing.)
