Post Malone has been on a tear lately, and in the best way. The singer did a SKIMS men's undergarments photo shoot that left fans breathless with excitement, especially the ladies! Now, per Whiskey Riff, we hear that Malone did an informal backstage jam cover of the Eagles' "Take It Easy" that inspired hopes of a recording. He is a truly eclectic artist. Malone dropped a country album in 2024. He has successfully dipped his toes in the waters of hip-hop, pop, and rap. He even covered Nirvana a while ago.

More About "Take It Easy"
The song is an oldie - 53 years, to be exact. It was the Eagles' very first single. It was a collab between two true greats, Jackson Browne and the late Glenn Frey. (Actually, Browne hit a creative snag that Frey generously helped him with.) The track got to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart two months after its release. Along with hits like "Lyin' Eyes" and "Hotel California," this song became one of the band's most recognizable. It never lost its sheen over the years.
Fans Went Wild for It
Posty, 30, gave a nice honky-tonk spin to the song, performing it with his usual freewheeling gusto. Commenters per the outlet via TikTok loved it. The video clip was just a 13-second snippet, but it sure did whet the public's appetite for more. Maybe Malone will take note and do it again in the recording studio.
Wrote one enthusiast, "Love love love."
Another gushed, "Omg Post Malone covering The Eagles! My soul is smiling so hard!"
A third observed, "Excellent song choice."
It;s true that this song seemed to come naturally to him. When that happens, a hit usually follows.
Travis Tritt Covered It
Per Wide Open Country, Jackson Browne showcased "Take It Easy" in 1973 on his album For Everyman. Tritt did a video of it with the Eagles. That project brought the band together, despite the tension that divided them in the past.
