Very nicely done. Now, we will have to see how he is at writing songs. I would love to see this kids rendition of Smugglers Blues.

If Glenn Frey's son Deacon can write music like his father, WOW!

Don Henley: Eagles Couldn’t Continue Without Frey ‘Family Blood'
Don Henley said the Eagles couldn't have kept going if they hadn’t recruited “family blood” in the form of Glen Frey’s son Deacon in November 2017.

Sgt (Join to see) I hope he keeps doing it, at least for awhile. Who knows, maybe he and Henley can collaborate on some new hits for the Eagles.

When we saw Eagles Live last summer Vince Gill handled the lead vocals for Smugglers Blues.
Vince and Deacon shared Glenn’s vocal duties

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Deacon Frey performing a heartfelt and wonderful cover of the Eagles song "Peaceful Easy Feelin" which his father Glenn Frey was the lead singer for.
Background of this song "A San Diego singer-songwriter named Jack Tempchin wrote this song sometime around 1969. One night after a club gig in nearby El Centro, he waited around trying to hook up with a waitress, but she left and never came back. With no ride home, he crashed on the floor of the club, but couldn't sleep. To kill the time, he grabbed his guitar and started composing this song, writing lyrics on the back of one of his flyers.
He finished the song in stages, and made his way to Los Angeles, where he hung out at the Troubadour along with Glenn Frey, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther and various other up-and-comers in the West Coast music scene. He was staying with Browne one day when Frey came over and heard Tempchin playing the song. Tempchin made a cassette recording for Frey, who came back the next day with a demo he had worked up with his band that had been backing Linda Ronstadt - the band that would soon become the Eagles.
"Peaceful Easy Feeling" was included on the Eagles debut album and released as the third single. Tempchin went on to write "Already Gone" for the Eagles and helped Frey write his solo hit "You Belong To The City." The flyer Tempchin used to start writing the lyrics is now in the Grammy Museum.
Thanks to its title and easygoing vibe, this song evokes a state of tranquility. The lyric, however, is about a girl, with Glenn Frey singing about how he's love for things to work out with her, but thinks she'll probably leave in the end. He'll be OK though, since he has a peaceful, easy feeling and he won't let her ruin it no matter what happens.
In our interview with Jack Tempchin, he explained: "It's not a love song exactly. The guy's going, 'Hey, either way it's go"

Peaceful Easy Feeling written by Jack Tempchin
Lyrics
"I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing on the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Oh but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful, easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing on the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and friend
But this voice keeps whisperin' in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
'Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standing I'm already standing
Yes I'm already standing on the ground"
