So good to hear that Don's first solo is underway. Thanks.

Here's some info on Don's new solo album.
Open up your eyes take the devil from your mind
You're not that far from Nashville are you Judy?
Get yourself staked out round them recording studios....Find Don!!!!!!

There is no more new frontier - we have got to make it here
Nope, just about a 20 minute cruise down the interstate. I need to pay more attention to the entertainment section of the news. Like a duck on a June bug I woulda been had I known, heh heh heh.........
So if you see me walking all alone, don't look back. I'm just on my way back home.
Ok, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that he's picked 7BR. Why do a song that the Eagles have done and do so beautifully? And have been doing recently in concert? Out of all the great, fabulous songs out there? I love 7BR. By the Eagles. I know Ronnie and Allyson will sound wonderful on it with him. They are both great singers, but........it baffles me.
"They will never forget you 'till somebody new comes along"
1948-2016 Gone but not forgotten
The first impression I get is that he chose 7BR for a vocal warmup:
So Don picks, of all things…"Seven Bridges Road"...alright...which is the song that the Eagles do acapella. And he goes, “let’s go try that.”
But it also says that I’ve recorded some Eagles’ stuff.
And Ronnie Dunn (who I've never heard of) talks later in the piece about 'cutting' the song.
You would have thought he would have wanted to do ANYTHING except the Eagles. If this is true, it is somewhat disheartening. There are a couple of other words that spring to mind, actually. If he wants to play his Eagles songs at solo shows, fine, but why record them?
And this is presuming that he's done songs on which he sang the original lead. But I won't go any further.
OK, I had heard of Brookes & Dunn.Ronnie Dunn was half of Brooks & Dunn, an American country music duo famous around the world. Recently broke up after years of recording, touring, winning all kinds of awards.
Cool! I really liked Brooks & Dunn in the 90s. Sorry to hear they've broken up.
As for the interview, I was kind of confused about what was going on there. It seems Dunn walked in and they decided to do Seven Bridges Road off the cuff, which made me think it was a warm up or something... but then he says they spent two hours on it, and he didn't talk about doing anything else, which makes me think that's what he was there to record. Plus, unless Don was joking or I'm misunderstanding, he approached Randy Travis about singing harmony on the song. That sure sounds like it's getting recorded.
If Don indeed is putting SBR on his album, I think it's a big mistake. It is a signature Eagles harmony song and - although I like Ronnie Dunn - he and Alison Krauss aren't the Eagles. I'm afraid the song will pale in comparison to the "real deal."
By the way, Krauss is sure making the rounds with the classic rockers, isn't she? lol
Interesting!
