    Default Press and Discussion about Don's new album(s) in progress

    http://www.bostonherald.com/entertai...si#articleFull

    This is a great email interview with Don in the Boston Herald. My favorite part:

    "As for me, I’ve spent a few weeks in the studio, both in California and Texas, since the Eagles European Tour ended in late July. I’ve cut half a dozen tracks and we will record more in December, January and February. I suppose the work could be loosely defined as a country album. Some of it is very traditional, old-style country and some of it is not. There will be some interesting guest vocalists and players. I’d also like to mention that Timothy B. has a brand new solo album out."

    YAY!! Looks like next year we will finally get that oft-promised solo album from Don. I can't wait! AND he gives a nice mention about Timothy's solo album too.

    Let's see....another solo album usually means more solo dates, and by next year I will have worked long enough to get some paid vacation time so hopefully I can see a few solo concerts--with some of my favorite Border friends! It's all good.

    Another e-mail interview with Don here:

    "Don Henley Brings His R&B Soul to Fantasy Springs Show Friday" - The Desert Sun

    It's quite short (just 3 questions) but there's an interesting nugget I hadn't seen before:

That's the kind of music I sang when I was a teenager playing in clubs in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
    Not one but TWO albums? Not just a country album but an R&B album? Ambitious man! Let's hope both of these come to fruition.

    Also;

    I would love to read this! Yes, it would be biased as all such things are, but he's a fascinating man and I'm sure it would be a fascinating read.

    I love the idea of 2 albums, will probably buy both, listen to one and not open the other.

    And what I wouldn't give to read an autobiography from him or any of the current members. I hope this does happen and he tells the other guys just how fun it was to put his life story on paper for all to see.
    He sings it high, he plays it low

    Thanks, Susan. It's great that there's so much buzz being generated about Don's albums even this early.

    This is so cool. It reminds me of Lindsey Buckingham putting out two albums in as many years - one acoustic and one electric. Just record the songs at one time and put them on the album that fits 'em.

    Ooh, work the local angle. Smooth, Don, smooth!

    Heck, maybe he'll cover a George Strait tune!
