Don Felder’s story is one of passion, persistence, and the pursuit of musical greatness. Known to millions as the guitarist behind the haunting riffs of “Hotel California” and a key creative force in the Eagles, Felder’s journey goes far beyond the stage lights and chart-topping hits. This biography takes readers deep into the life of a musician whose artistry and determination helped craft one of the most iconic sounds in rock history.
