In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Texas Girl at the Funeral of Her Father

[edit]

A fine song. And it's been covered by Nic Jones I see. What inspired it? Who else has performed it? Drutt (talk) 22:50, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eagles not the backup band

[edit]

Most of the instrumental work and backing vocals on the album are performed by the Eagles, who are listed in the album credits individually, not by group name.

The track listing shows the extent to which this is (not) true.

Don Henley sings in the background of one track of the album ("Rider in the Rain"), as does Tim Schmit ("Short People"). Neither Henley nor Schmit plays any instruments for the album. Joe Walsh plays on two tracks of the album ("Little Criminals" and "Kathleen (Catholicism Made Easy)") and does not sing for the album. Don Felder is not mentioned in the track listing.

It would probably be more accurate to say that Longbranch Pennywhistle, credited as individuals, provided most of the backing vocals on the album, as the duo of J. D. Souther and Glenn Frey contributed vocals to all three tracks that had backing vocals. The extent to which this is relevant depends on the number of people who have ever heard of Longbranch Pennywhistle, which, until a few days ago when I read the article on J. D. Souther, did not include me.

Frey was a fairly heavy contributor to the album; in addition to the vocals, he played guitar on two of the tracks ("Baltimore" and "Rider in the Rain""Little Criminals"*)

However, seven of the twelve tracks were done with no input from any member of The Eagles. How does this qualify as "most of the instrumental work and background vocals" being performed by The Eagles?

Baltimore

The link for this song just leads you straight back here. What's the bloody point of that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.11.135 (talk) 12:55, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
