Jackson Browne, who collaborated with the Eagles, and the band's late singer, Glenn Frey, penned the rock classic, which evokes images of a man traveling while trying to ignore issues within his life, romantic and otherwise.
He said that after Frey had repeatedly asked him to give him a finalized version of "Take It Easy," he allowed the singer, who died in 2016 at the age of 67, to complete the tune. Browne shared that Frey wrote the verse wherein the narrator excitedly shares he's being looked at by a woman driving a Ford flatbed truck in Winslow, Arizona.
The "Doctor My Eyes" singer also complimented Frey's arrangement of the song.
Billboard reported that Browne sang "Take It Easy" shortly after Frey died at a June 2016 concert. While speaking to the audience, he explained the song's significance in his and Frey's friendship.
“Here’s a song that I’ve been singing every night for a while. I didn’t always sing it because it was such a famous song, I figured, you know, if people heard me sing it they’d come away thinking, ‘nah, and then he sang an Eagles cover,'" said Browne to his fans, per Billboard. “I wrote this song with Glenn Frey. It’s a song that I started, but I didn’t finish it. Even if I had finished it by myself, it wouldn’t be the song that it is and it wouldn’t be the song that we all love."
