Nice!!!!

You know it's a coincidence because this last week I've been really focusing on Felder's guitar playing. I've always been a pretty big fan of his but I really have found a new appreciation for his playing. I've been listening to his solos and how he complimented Walsh and vice versa. I love his solo in "One Of These Nights" especially as well as Hotel California of course. Also his solo in "Already Gone" is great. I miss having him in the Eagles. But I really am looking forward to the solo album. Unfortunately the only solo show Don has done in this area was a private club event and I couldn't go. I really wish he would play a public show - I'd love to go see him play and perhaps meet him and get his autograph and perhaps ask him some guitar questions. But it seems like lately I've been appreciating his skill a lot more in the Eagles than I use to. He's a god, just like Walsh. Both of them together were mindblowing. I watch DVD's like Houston '76 or Christchurch or HFO and it just blows my mind. Talk about great work!

Is Don Felder's new album out yet? I am just getting into his solo work, as he is the one former Eagle that I miss the most. I loved him playing with Walsh. Seems like he is doing great & I was wondering about the cd, as you really don't hear much about him these days.

It's not out yet. I check his FB and stuff often to see if any new news about it comes up. There isn't a title or release date out yet but it'll probably be out sometime next year.

I wonder what the hold up is? He's been talking about it since 2007!

Here's an interview with the engineer who is doing Felder's record. He talks about it some along with Felder writing Hotel California here:

'He wrote Hotel California for God's sake'.

He wrote the MUSIC for Hotel California, or some of it.

'He's been making music for thirty some odd years'.

Since he was fired, he has yet to produce any new music at all. In the 14 year period before the Eagles reformed, he made one album.

Don't get me wrong; I wish Felder success, but let's have some accuracy.

BTW - I meant to mention this yesterday, but forgot to. I also wish Don much success with this album. I hope it goes very well for him.

Glad to hear Felder's album is finally moving towards completion. He's been talking about it for four years now, but like his compatriots from his former band, he's taken his time actually getting it out! The song I heard him play from it at a concert in 2009 was called "Over You," and it was very good. If it's indicative of the rest of the album's quality, I'll be buying it.

Heck, who am I kidding? I'll be buying it no matter what. The man was an Eagle and I am a completionist.

Up late and sifting through old Google alerts, I found this video. Felder has just stated that his album will be released in the second quarter of 2012. He says it around 2:25 here (also posted in his video thread):

Additionally, the album is discussed a bit here.
