The indicator for me is the CEO of Capitol Records calling it "album of the year". Of course he's biased towards albums Capitol is putting out, but that's still a lot to choose from. Bob Lefsetz's remarks were pretty nice as well. I agree, F50, that the preview was a hand picked group, but I still think this is going to be great.
Well, I for one can't wait cos I'm a big country fan and of course an even bigger Don fan! The lyrics he produces are so thought provoking and he hasn't lost it judging by the sneak preview we got of Train in the Distance -
"you can ride that train to the far end of creation. Away from everything and everyone you know. You better make friends with your angels and your demons. They will be riding with you wherever you go. But, you have to go..."
I find that very profound and moving and it reminds me of a line form the musical The Hired Man - "you take yourself with you wherever you go."
.....and 17 songs!!!!....yiphee.... :thumbsup:
I'm trying to figure out how Mick Jagger fits in! Everyone else is country!
Love Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, and Miranda Lambert especially!
Listen to the Rolling Stones Far Away Eyes, Brooke. Bear with the first few minutes...

I was thinking he might do some bonus tracks, too, like the Eagles did for a deluxe version. Not that anybody has said anything like that but it seems everybody's doing that these days.Quote:

If people based their opinions on less than half of the album, that still leaves a lot about the album that we don't know.( This might be a good thing. It's just that I've never liked surprises. )
I wonder if Don will wait until the last Eagles shows over in July before starting to promote this album? My guess is yes. Let the mothership land first.
Maybe Don thought that Mick Jagger world appeal to his more rock oriented fans?
I'm interested to how Jagger will sound with Miranda Lambert because, from an earlier article posted on here, they're singing on the same song!
I think I read that all three are sharing verses. It will be interesting.
Fair enough, Brooke though I think I read that Mick is doing a 'Gram Parsons' like turn....so could be interesting...Quote:
