Which Eagles album features the song 'Life in the Fast Lane'?

The Eagles album featuring “Life in the Fast Lane” is Hotel California. Released in 1976, it was the band’s fifth studio album and marked a shift from their earlier country-rock sound toward harder-edged rock.

“Life in the Fast Lane” was written by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Joe Walsh. Its signature guitar riff came from Walsh during a rehearsal, and the song became the album’s third single in 1977. It reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song’s high-speed, reckless-driving story fits the album’s broader themes of excess, fame, and the darker side of the American dream. A common mix-up is confusing it with “Hotel California,” the album’s title track and another major hit. Hotel California also introduced Walsh as a full member of the Eagles after Bernie Leadon’s departure.
