Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
It's cool that Don did what was best for the song rather than go on an ego trip... but I have to admit... I'm still disappointed he won't be more prominent. But hey, maybe it'll be like Walkaway Joe, where it's essentially a harmony but you can hear him so well it's like a duet (and was classified as such in my recent poll, lol).
Wow, Willie, you like Randy Travis? Who'd've thunk it? ;)
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
Willie, how can this be? Unbelievable!
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
I know, I know--- it's not his songs as much as his freakin' gorgeous voice. I actually bought his first couple of albums in the 80s that hit the charts, Storms of Life and Always & Forever. I was just "reintroduced" to him a few months back when my niece came to me and asked me to burn a Randy Travis cd for her husband's grandma's funeral. I discovered a song called The Box and wept like a baby.
I seriously do think that Don's and Randy's voice will mesh really well together and this is one country song that I do look forward to hearing. :shock: I'm being sincere here.
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
I just bought the song off of iTunes. Don and Randy's voices do mesh well, but it's backing indeed. I can see why he didn't want a separate verse, though. The song is from the perspective of a dying man in the hospital who wishes for "more life." One dying guy is plenty!
ETA: On re-listen I think the guy in the song might recover. Still, like I said, I can see why Don didn't think it was a good duet song.
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
Is it out already. ????? Off to listen.
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
So we can already get it on Itunes? I must have missed that. As soon as I get my computer back (yes--it's back to be repaired from another virus!), I will buy it. Thanks for the info.
Re: Don Henley Appearing on Randy Travis Album
Got it. :yay: Well only heard a snippit and most of that was Randy so I had to buy it to check it out better.
I'm in agreement with you Nancy.
