  • A Former Eagle Is Soaring With A New Country Album

    If given the opportunity would you ever see him preform live or do you think this is going to be a one-time fad that will not last that long?

    “I woke up the other day and I said, ‘Oh my God. I really screwed up because when I play live, these people aren't going to show up,'” Henley said with a laugh. “I chose people that I respect musically. People whose work I respect, whose voices I like, who are all great, authentic singers who can really sing when called upon to sing. Some of them are friends of mine and some of them I had never met before. I was flattered and flabbergasted when all of them said, ‘Yeah.'”

    With a superstar lineup and an album recorded in Nashville, I don't think Don Henley can lose.  I think this album will turn out to be pure gold (or platinum)- what do you think?

      Actually, this is not that surprising. The Eagles have always been more country rock than rock, especially their early material.

      Don Henley is not a former Eagle. He is touring with the band this summer. That’s why Cass County will not be released until the fall.
