The story behind the song

"New Kid In Town" was released as the first single from the Eagles' 1976 album Hotel California. The song, co-written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and JD Souther, features Frey on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Henley on harmony vocals and drums, Randy Meisner on guitarrón mexicano, Don Felder on electric guitars, and Joe Walsh on electric piano and organ. It won a Grammy Award for Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices. Souther initially wrote the chorus, and the three writers later finished the song together for the album.
