Jack Tempchin is a legendary hit songwriter whose two compositions, "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and "Already Gone", are now synonymous with the Southern California Sound. Both songs are on 'Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975', awarded *Best-Selling U.S. Album of the 20th Century* by the RIAA. Tempchin has five Eagles contributions total, including "The Girl From Yesterday" from the 'Hell Freezes Over' reunion release, plus "It's Your World Now" and "Somebody", both on their latest double disc release, 'Long Road Out Of Eden'.
You may have seen Jack Tempchin's featured interview in the Alex Gibney-produced 'History of the Eagles' rock documentary, or quite possibly have heard his name referenced from the stage by Glenn Frey on the 'History of the Eagles' World Tour. Famously, Tempchin's tune "Peaceful Easy Feeling" was featured in a notorious taxi scene in the Cohen Brothers cult classic, 'The Big Lebowski' starring Jeff Bridges as 'The Dude', who is unceremoniously tossed from a cab. "Part Of You, Part Of Me" another Tempchin/Frey classic was the end title theme song for the Oscar-award winning film, 'Thelma & Louise'.
