abstract
  • %22New Kid in Town%22, written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey and J.D. Souther, is a song by the Eagles, from their 1976 album Hotel California. Released as the first single from the album, the song became a No. 1 hit in the USA, and No. 20 in the UK. The single version has an earlier fade-out than the album version. On 26 February 1977, it reached the Billboard No. 1. The song features Glenn Frey singing the lead vocals, with Don Henley singing main harmony vocals. Randy Meisner plays the guitarrĂ³n mexicano, and Joe Walsh plays the electric piano and organ parts.Eagles' biographer Marc Eliot states that %22New Kid in Town%22 captures %22a precise and spectacular moment immediately familiar to any guy who's ever felt the pain, jealousy, insecurity, rage and heartbreak of the moment he discovers his girlfriend likes someone better and has moved on.%22 He also suggests that it captures a more abstract theme of %22the fickle nature of both the muse and the masses.%22In the liner notes of The Very Best Of, Don Henley talked about the song's meaning:In 1977, the Eagles won a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement for Voices with %22New Kid in Town%22.On Henley's first solo album, I Can't Stand Still, he references the song by singing the line, %22there's a new kid in town%22 over the rideout of %22Johnny Can't Read%22.
