Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bernie Leadon — founding member of the Eagles, multi-instrumentalist, and co-writer of timeless hits — joins Randy Patterson on Boomerocity for an in-depth, soulful, and often humorous conversation about his life, career, and long-awaited new album, Too Late To Be Cool.

From his early days shaping the California country-rock sound with the Eagles, to his collaborations with legends like Linda Ronstadt, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Emmylou Harris, Bernie shares reflections that are as insightful as they are entertaining.
“I wanted to make a record that feels human again — tracked live, no gimmicks,” Bernie says of Too Late To Be Cool, his first solo release in over two decades. Produced by his longtime collaborator Glyn Johns, the album captures the warmth and honesty that have defined Bernie’s entire career.

This Boomerocity conversation covers everything from the Eagles’ formative years and the making of Desperado, to his views on songwriting, technology, and what it really means to stay “cool” after all these years.
It’s an episode packed with stories, laughter, and the unmistakable perspective of a man whose fingerprints are all over American music history.
