Country rock
The greatest commercial success for country rock came in the 1970s, with the Doobie Brothers mixing in elements of R&amp;B, Emmylou Harris (a former backing singer for Parsons) becoming the "Queen of country-rock" and Linda Ronstadt creating a highly successful pop-orientated brand of the genre. Members of Ronstadt's former backing band went on to form the Eagles (made up of members of the Burritos, Poco and Stone Canyon Band), and emerged as one of the most successful rock acts of all time, producing albums that included "Desperado" (1973) and "Hotel California" (1976). Country rock began to fade in the late 1970s in the face of punk and new wave trends.
