Takin' A Ride - Don Felder

I first came across this song while watching the movie Heavy Metal ( great movie, great music, check it out) and thought it was so rocking. I was unfamiliar with Don Felder at the time and assumed maybe this was his only hit. Little did I know that he actually wrote Hotel California. Yes, Don Felder was the lead guitarist of the Eagles and wrote many of their pivotal hits along with Don Henley. His original band also featured Stephen Stills of CSNY fame, so this is no small time musician. Although his end with the Eagles was very messy and involved a law suit, one cannot ignore the hits we have received thanks to Don Felder.
