Which Eagles album features the song "Tequila Sunrise"?

The Eagles album featuring “Tequila Sunrise” is Desperado. Released in 1973, it was the band’s second studio album and the first major showcase for the songwriting partnership of Don Henley and Glenn Frey.

Henley and Frey wrote “Tequila Sunrise” during the first week of their collaboration after returning from recording the Eagles’ debut album in London. Frey developed the song’s guitar idea, which he described as having a Roy Orbison influence with a Mexican flavor, and the pair shaped it into a reflective country-rock song.

Desperado is a loosely Western-themed concept album inspired by outlaws and the Dalton Gang. “Tequila Sunrise” was issued as the first single, but it reached only number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100. That modest chart position can cause confusion: the song became much more familiar over time than its original sales performance suggests. It should not be confused with the Eagles’ later albums Hotel California or The Long Run.
