Don Felder in the Press/Blogs/etc.

[Funk 50]

It's incredible that a fledgling artist could have such a roster of superstars playing on her first album but in 1977 Glenda Griffith released her first andonly album, produced by Don Henley with Jim Ed Norman, engineered by Bill Szymczyk and backed by a plethora of big name musicians.

This from an article that discusses the stretch of road that inspired "Seven Bridges Road" and includes a nice shout out to Don F's performance of the song.

Music aficionados who are still fans of “Seven Bridges Road” can hear an excellent rendition in modern times, performed in concert by ex-Eagle Don Felder and his band. Felder’s version utilizes electric bass and drums in addition to churning acoustic guitars, and the harmony vocals are impeccable. The result is yet another classic interpretation of the iconic song.

Here's a new interview. I found the headline excrutiating but the rest of it is better. He has an EP coming out at the end of the year.

I'm hoping the newspeople chose that headline as I don't think Don would have.

I'm looking forward to the new EP... I love Road To Forever.

Yes, that headline is pretty awful! AFAIK the artists interviewed have no say in that, Austin, so it's very possible that Felder wouldn't approve. If I were him, I'd be cringing!

This upcoming EP is big news. I'll make a new thread for it.

I don't mind the headline (if you're talking about playing to "beautiful women"). Just a harmless little joke IMO, and I don't see any hint of groupie stuff or anything like that in it. It's not a great headline, but it doesn't irritate me either.

[sodascouts]

It just emphasizes the wrong thing. It makes Don sound shallow. He made a throwaway, harmless joke and they turn that into the headline rather than something more substantive.

I'm not trying to say it's a HUGE deal, but as I said earlier, I do find it cringe-worthy.

[chaim]

I get your point. I guess Don Felder is the wrong artist for that kind of a headline. Would have worked better with Freddie Mercury.

[UndertheWire]

I'm sure Don didn't pick the headline and it's not a direct quote. However, it was a bad first impression because it sounds so smarmy.
