Hotel California marked a major leap for the Eagles and a stylistic departure from their earlier work. The album was their first to be made without Bernie Leadon, who had given the band much of its country flavor and first with rock guitarist Joe Walsh. It also sees the emergence of Don Henley as the band's dominant voice, both as a singer and lyricist. In the early part of their career, the Eagles never seemed to get a sound big enough for their ambitions; after changes in producer and personnel, as well as a noticeable growth in creativity, Hotel California unveiled what seemed like a whole new band. It was a band that could be bombastic, one that made music appropriate for the arenas and stadiums the band was playing. The result was the Eagles' biggest-selling studio release and one of the most successful rock albums of all time.
